4.24: The Spy Kbots (TA:CC) | [Back to the WarGuide]
Remember that spies can be cloaked, but are visible on enemy radar. If a spy comes to close to an enemy unit, it will become visible and most likely will be destroyed. Although spies are still visible on enemy radar, you can still use them to penetrate an enemy's base. Try out the following suggestions below, and see if they work for you: 1) Choose a color at the start of the game that blends in with the surroundings. You could pick purple for the crystal or metal worlds, green for the forested worlds, or tan for the desert worlds. If you can camoflage your units, a spy will have a better chance of penetrating into an enemy base. 2) If you have a noticable color, you can always keep your spy on the edge of the screen. This will cut off half of his radar blip, and cover most of his movement pretty well. 3) Send a few jammers near the enemy base, and then send your spy in under the jammer coverage. As long as the spy stays within the jamming field, you should be ok. 4) Send a few spies in with an assault team. While your enemy is busy fighting the visible units, he won't see the radar blip of your spy running through his base, and gathering valuable data.
