Harmful spy operations

Main article: Spy Center

Harmful operations are used to damage your target's resources or military capability. Use of these covert attacks is generally considered an act of war. The amount of damage an operation does is dependent on the resources of the target as well as that of the spying country.

Operation	Type	Description
Stir Rebellions	Covert	This operation sends your agents into opposing countries to try to convince their citizens to emigrate from their empire.
Cause Dissensions	Covert	By discouraging your target country's military, you can try to make a portion of their troops to flee from their standing army.
Bomb Airbases	Covert	In this operation, your agents will attempt to infiltrate your enemy's airbases and destroy stationary jets.
Espionage	Covert	Sending your agents into opposing research labs, this operation is the only one that physically benefits you. If successful, you will capture a small portion of your opponent's technology points.
Bomb Buildings	Covert	As the name implies, this operation focuses on destroying a portion of your enemy's structures; this can be very costly to your target in terms of turns wasted rebuilding.
Sabotage Intelligence	Covert	Pitting your agents directly against your opponent's, in this operation you attempt to assassinate or make ineffective as many as possible of your target's spies, thereby weakening their defensive position.
Bomb Banks	Covert	To prevent your opponents from stockpiling excess cash, you can opt to attempt to bomb their country's central banks and destroy a portion of their money supply.
Raid Food Stores	Covert	Similar to bombing banks, burning food stores destroys a portion of another country's food stock, forcing them to not only watch their finances, but their food supplies as well. In addition, your operatives will capture a small portion of your enemy's reserves.
Sabotage Missiles	Covert	Ruthless countries often stockpile weapons of mass destruction such as Nuclear or Chemical weapons. This operation sends your covert forces out to dismantle as many opponents' missiles as possible.
Demoralize	Covert	By sending your agents to weaken an opposing countries military readiness, you may be able to effectively defeat your target with a smaller number of required forces. The power of a healthy, ready army can never be underestimated.
BioTerrorism	Covert	By releasing biochemical agents into an opposing companies infrastructure -- the water & food supplies -- you can cause disease to spread throughout their kingdom. Until their medical efforts result in a cure, the plagues will spread and kill people across the land.
Raid Oil Reserves	Covert	Oil is an essential commodity for any nation-state who wishes to engage in war. By burning small pockets of these reserves, you can slowly diminish an opponent's ability to conduct effective war campaigns. In addition, your operatives will capture a small portion of your enemy's reserves.
