Spies can infiltrate enemy buildings, then you can see everything that building sees.

Please read: In order to counter a properly executed rush in a default setup game, you HAVE to research military first and put up a tower.

I want to maximize my chances of finding a match. Default settings are the easiest way to do that.

A "rush" is an all-out offensive launched at the beginning of a game. Spies are not available at the beginning of a game with default settings.

Just to be clear, you don't have to research it first. You can probably research it 3rd, after science and civics, and still be ok. And you don't have to have a tower or barracks built, though they certainly help. But if you start building a barracks as soon as you see it coming, and make sure you build it somewhere he won't easily see, you have a good chance of beating it.

Rushing isn't very hard to defend against in this game. Not very hard at all.

Spies are also a moral boost for generals who like a piece of ass now and then.
And if you garrison them somewhere you gain wealth for the numbers of spies garrisoned and the number of citizen's/military units (1 at the time, money up front) garrisoned at the same place. As a consequence you can research Mafia at towers in industrial, to give every civilian a tommygun . ....verry effective LOL

....mmmm, it begin to sound as a good idea for a mod!!! Mob Wars or something....
