Spycraft

Cause more trouble for your enemies, or watch your friends' backs with spycraft. Units are now available to get military reports, steal enemy gold, destroy the enemy command center to disrupt attacks, destroy the weather control system to disrupt weather, and station satellites to get advanced warnings on attacks.

Red Squad - Military report, reports on the amount of 3 different troops of your target
Elite Ops Blue - Destroy an enemy command center!
Elite Ops Green - Destroy an enemy weather control system!
Mole Worker - Steal a small percentage of gold from your target each tick
Spy Satellite - Stationed at your target, the satellite will tell you if they are sending attack your way, or to someone else
Stealth Spy Satellite - More costly than a Spy Satellite, but harder to detect
Communications Satellite - Stationed only on friendly empires, this will give you advanced warnings if they are going to be attacked.

Injecting a Spycraft in a target empire:
You get higher chances of injecting a spycraft by learning Satellite Recon and Deep Space Recon. You also get a bonus of properly executing foot Spycraft (such as moles) if you have already have a satellite in the target empire. But be careful, they may figure out who sent the spy! For each level of Counter Intelligence they have studied, your target will get a bonus to detecting your attempt.

Detecting a Spycraft in your empire:
If you suspect a spy in your empire (satellite or foot spy), you should run a Counter Intel sweep. There are two types: An Empire Sweep for foot units, and a Space Sweep for satellites. For each level of Counter Intelligence you study, you will get a bonus towards rooting out the enemy spy. You should run sweeps whenever you suspect activity, and sometimes when you don't! Older spys become deeply entrenched in your empire, and become harder to discover with age.
