At the very least I believe the Krynn's Super Ability needs to be worked on. Simply because starting the game with 1 spiy shadows in potentcy compared to always get first attack or super diplomat.

I guess i wouldn't mind some changes to the espio,,,, i mean the spying in this game. But i don't think they should become too powerful. The spies in this game are a side note and should remain a small "help" to your civ.

I don't mind it the way it is but i see there there is potential for more / better abilities. However, the more they can do the more complocated they will be and the more management they will require. Also, i think giving spies the ability to destroy an improvbement that took a lot of turns to build or to incite a revolt and cause a planet to flip among other things will take away from the rest on the game.

I do agree that the Krynn super ability is very weak. Pehaps they can build couter spy buildings at a fraction of the cost, or get cheaper spies. With the changes coming in TA im thinking that maybe this point will be moot.

Brad//Frogboy has already announced that in GalCiv2 Version 2.0 (released just before or just after TA, depending on your source), espionage will include a semi-reversion to the old style in that it will allow passive spying on a civ as a whole to up your intelligence level. While this doesn't mean other suggestions aren't viable, keep that in mind and also keep in mind that it is a GC2 2.0 update, don't beg or even urge for them in TA.
