Espionage

Espionage allows you to train bedouins to become spies, so that they can provide you with valuable information about activities of other pharaohs.
Espionage is considered one of the oldest trades in the world, and rightly so. It is no secret that many a time empires were only able to survive thanks to critical information collected by a handful of scouts. Word has got around that there are no better scouts than bedouins in the entire Great Desert: they know the desert better than anyone else, they are used to riding at night without losing orientation, even when the moon is waning or not visible. Also, it is said that they don’t get that easily tired, either. All these good qualities make them perfect spies.
Thanks to Espionage, you can find out what your opponent is up to by collecting information about their troops, resources, and cities. In order to succeed in a spying mission, you need to keep researching Espionage. The number of bedouins that you send out matters, too, as it may influence the amount of information they collect. But be careful: if you send out too many units, they run the risk of being uncovered.
