Spies...a question

[Poulp']

if EB works like vanilla, then put a governor in the city and pray that he gets the "counter spy" trait

edit
when you say "spies", do you mean you put multiple spies in multiple cities or did you stack several spies in one city ?

[Enguerrand de Sarnéac]

How often enemy spies are discovered in your settlement depends on the 'public' security of it's gouvernor (as opposed to 'personal' security for assassinations).
I found it helps when you put one of your own spies in the town that's focused and let him build up a network. Sometimes the bastard's killed by the enforcements, sometimes he just sneakes out again. Don't know what the conditions are.

Hi L.C.Cinna,
Placing spies in your own settlements can help route out those enemy scumbags, especially if your spies have high subterfuge which is easy to get with settlements with forums! Hope this helps you, cheers!

Definetly have assasins on hand, try to train 1 per province that border or is close to the Getai. The spies cant stay in the city forever.

Kill the Getai, problem solved.
