Isnogud Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hi, does the intelligence level have any influence on the probability of a sucessful research? E.g. what happens if the US has intelligence level 5 and Germany 0. How high is the probablilty for germany for a successful research for one chip if (lets say all are on level 1 on that technology) Does this influence also count for intelligence research itself, so it would be much harder to catch up? There are 4 allies, which level of intelligence counts for them? The highest? or average? or only active allies (since France is usually out of game soon) What about Italy for germany? Greetings Isnogud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Intel only provides a spotting advantage; I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect research at all. For research, there is already a catch-up bonus factored in if an opponent has a higher level in a particular tech being researched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Actually intelligence does influence research and it basically works by giving you a bonus for your research if your intelligence level is greater than any of your opponents intelligence level, i.e. if you are Allied and looking at the US it has Level-2 intelligence but let's say Germany has Level-3 then you will not have any bonus. but if you are looking at the UK and it has Level-4 and the highest Axis intelligence level is still only 3 then you get an extra 1% towards your research calculation. Hopefully this makes sense, Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isnogud Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanx a lot for explanation Hubert. So regarding research it would only make sense to devlop intelligence only for one allied most probably USA. In your example UK -4 Germany -3 would all allies gain this bonus? Will germany get -1% as penalty or will it stay at its basis? In other words can a high intelligence level slow down enemy reasearch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 It doesn't slow down enemy research but it can cancel any potential gains it might receive if your intelligence is higher. If the US only invests in intelligence then it is likely to be the only one to gain a bonus for research while your other Allies may not, that may or may not be a good thing I guess depending on what type of strategy you are after.
