Spy Operations can be used to find information about your opponents and steal or even destroy their resources. Spies can only be produced with Industrial Complexes and are the only military unit that cannot be bought on the Private or Public Market. Spy ops are divided into two groups--Normal spy ops and Harmful spy ops. Normal spy ops simply yield information to the spies, while harmful spy ops damage a country's resources or military capability. In general, a harmful spy op's damage is dependent on the resources of the target as well as that of the spying country.
Success of a Spy Op is based on your SPAL (see below) versus your opponents. Additionally, Diminishing Returns (DR) increase the chance of being caught for repeated harmful spy ops against one country.
If you fail a Spy Op, your opponent is made aware of your country name and number.

Raid Oil Reserves

SPAL
SPAL stands for Spies Per Acre of Land. The higher your SPAL, the more likely it is you will succeed in Spy Operations and repel your opponents spies.
There are diminishing returns (DR) for repeated harmful spy ops against one country. Even though your SPAL may be much larger, you will begin to fail more often when targeting the same country. Non-harmful spy ops are not affected by DR and do not increase it as there is no damage to be diminished.
