Intelligence Window

Description

| This window allows you to conduct intelligence projects against other empires. Intelligence projects are activities that your empire engages in to either sabotage or conduct espionage against another empire. See Intelligence for more details. |

Controls

| Intelligence Points Available | This is the total amount of Intelligence Points available to your empire this turn. Each of your planets produces Intelligence points if it has Intelligence Center Facilities on it. You can spend the intelligence points in this window to conduct intelligence projects.
| Intelligence Projects | This is a listing of the available intelligence projects to your empire. Intelligence projects are gained through research like everything else. As you research Intelligence Operations in the Research Window, more intelligence projects will become available in this window.

The intelligence projects are listed in groups based on their general purpose. Each intelligence project is also listed with its total cost in intelligence points. This will be the cost required to execute and complete this project. By left-clicking on an intelligence project, you will add it to the "Current Projects" list below. You can also right-click a project to see a description of that project.

When you add an intelligence project to your current projects, you will be prompted for specific information about the project. For every project, you will be asked which empire to target it against. Some projects will ask you for a specific target object, as well. For example, if you select the project "Industrial Sabotage", you will be asked to select a target empire. After that, you will be asked to select the specific planet to conduct the project against. The planets listed will be the ones your empire knows of that the target empire owns. You can select a specific planet, or you can select the item "Any Planet". These selections will allow you to target your intelligence operations against specific targets that your enemy owns.

| Current Projects | This is a listing of the intelligence projects that your empire is currently executing. You may have up to 12 total projects going at once, with 4 displayed at a time in this list. You can view the other projects being executed by pressing the tab buttons listed below.

Each executing project is listed with its name, a specific target if there is one, the empire its against, the estimated number of years until its completed, and the actual cost per turn in intelligence points. At the bottom of the project is a bar which fills in as the project is completed. When the bar reaches all the way to the right of the box, the project will be completed.

If you left-click a current project, it will be removed from the current projects list. Be careful not to remove projects that are nearing completion. You can also right-click on a current project to get a brief description about it.

Buttons

| Projects 1 - 4 | Causes the "Current Projects" list to display projects 1 through 4.
| Projects 5 - 8 | Causes the "Current Projects" list to display projects 5 through 8.
| Projects 9 -12 | Causes the "Current Projects" list to display projects 9 through 12.
| Repeat Projects | This option means that when a project completes, it will automatically get added back again to the list. This way, you can keep your projects running continually without any input from you.
| Divide Pts Evenly | Normally, intelligence points are divided up evenly between the projects. So if you generate 1000 points per turn, and you have 4 projects, then each project will receive 250 points per turn. If you turn this option off, projects will be given points in order from left to right. The points are applied until the project is completed. So if you have 10000 points, and 3 projects which cost 4000 each, then the first two projects will get 4000 points each applied, and the third project will get 2000.
| Reorder Projects | Selecting this option will display the Reorder Window so that you can reorder your intelligence projects.
| Close | This will close the window and return you to the Empires Window.
