Send Spy

Send Spy gathers military intelligence on an enemy. It reveals their land, troops, defenses, gold, and more, so you can plan an attack. If the mission fails, your spy is caught and does not return.

Just over half of all spies get through, whoever you send them against — see the Covert Operations overview for what does and does not move the odds.

Send Spy answers on the spot. It is one of the few operations that does not wait for daily maintenance, which is what makes it useful right before an attack.
