* Support rebels / 60 / ADM 3, one-time monetary cost proportional to the size of the rebellious faction / 10% revolt progression chance per month for selected rebel faction for 5 years. Justify trade conflict / 10 / DIP 0, several merchant and trade power things / grants trade conflict CB for 2 years. * Fabricate claim on area / Cost of fabricate claim * 1.5 / DIP 0, Tsardom, not at war with target / Gain claim on all provinces in selected area for 25 years. * Fabricate claim / 20+5 per existing claim on target / DIP 0, not at war with target / gain a claim on selected province for 25 years. (I'll be brief here as I can't make a proper table, just go look at the wiki for the finer details lol) sabotage reputation only applies once per nation, meaning that even if two different aggressor nations executed sabotage reputation on the same nation, that target nation only recieves -3 diplomatic reputation for 5 years, not -6 diplomatic reputation for 5/10 years. Same type covert action effects are not additive, e.g. Actions can still be executed even if a diplomat can't further build a spy network. Most actions have a duration of 5 years or an instant effect. All actions are instantaneous and succesful upon execution from the diplomacy menu. Spends built spy network points against a nation to make action. When a spy network is discovered, the spy network will be prevented from growing for 12 months and the network will be reduced in size to either 75, 50 or 25 (the closest of these to the spy network, that is less, for example a discovered spy network at 90 will go to 75, a network at 52 will go to 50). The minimun spy discovery chance is approximately 0.06% per month - meaning that there is always a chance, no matter how slim, for a spy network to be discovered This chance is a base 2.083% monthly chance, and the difference between the defending nation's foreign spy detection and the attacker's spy network construction. Upon a spy network reaching a size of 25, it has a chance of being discovered. (Not sure if or how this stacks with the +33% foreign spy detection)
Applies further -50% spy network construction against target nation towards nation of the diplomat.
+33% foreign spy detection against the nation the diplomat is assigned to (increases the chance to discover built spy networks from target nation and decreases the speed target nation's spy network against you grows i think).This benefit is unlocked at diplomatic technology 9Ĭan assign a diplomat to a nation to conduct counter-espionage, giving the diplomat's nation two following effects: The reduction is affected by the size of the spy network The applied reduction is -5% for each tech level the target is ahead in a certain tech field compared to the nation building the spy network For reference, currently these passive benefits and actions are: Covert actions (up to 13 different actions)īuilding a spy network offers various scaled passive benefits, as well as the ability to spend built spy network points on covert actions.Foreign spy detection & counter-espionage.Espionage also is an idea group under the diplomatic branch.Įspionage involves a few mechanics, such as: Espionage can also pacify other nations by limiting your aggressive expansion impact, as well as providing passive benefits such as improved siege ability and cheaper technology costs.Ĭovert actions are diplomatic actions that spend spy network points, which are built up over time by active diplomats.

While sometimes it's not too much of a problem to make bad/less-smart decisions if your campaign is only dedicated to role-playing, nevertheless, given that EU4 is a premier grand strategy game, needing to 'gimp' yourself just to experience some diversity is very un-immersive and doesn't take full advantage of the wonderful game this is.Įspionage is a way to weaken enemies without going to war.
