When I mentionned seeing the ennemy coming from afar, I didn't mean on the map, but in the diplomacy summary. I am alerted with a red tag that an "hostile diplomatic unit" is coming and will be there in 2h30m49s.

As far as I know, my opponent saw at least one of my scouting mission, but didn't see the second one coming. Why? Any idea?

You should get an After Action Report that tells you what your scouts accomplished, or failed, or died, etc.  The Counter-Intel tech will enable your own scouts to thrawt an enemy scout - but I think this only gives you a chance, not an absolute thwart.  So that might be why 1 scout got thru to you and the 2nd scout failed.

Edit the post instead of posting another post 2 minutes after you post your first.
If you forgot something that you wanted to add.
This is kinda spammy.

You did it multiple times already on this forum.
Wuz, I don't see an "edit my post option."
 
And why is this bothering you so much?  You seem to have no problem spamming the hell out of question topics with all sorts of gay-crap.  But let me talk serious about the game and you're nipping at my heels - even when I'm trying to help another player.
 
Are you the Forum Master?  If not, quit trying to police me.  If yes, then I will leave your queer-ass forum for good.  Sheez.

Oh, also, I think with the proper tech, your own scouts have a chance at thrawting an enemy's diplo. mission.
 
Ah geez, another post!  I'm gonna really get in trouble from the Post Police.

I have had scouting missions thrawted by spells.  I have heard that sending waves of scouts can wear down the spell so the later wave can get thru.  That is why you see multiple incomings.
 
Scouts get intel re: armies present.
 
There are also thieves that will steal your resources.  Vaults prevent thieves up to the vault's limit.
 
Gee, my daily post count is growing, maybe I should quit trying to be helpful to others and save all my posts for my own questions.Cry

The dev list below will answer the question about scouts not being discreet.
Devs are thinking about a way to make them come in stealth until a set distance.

http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/current-dev-list_topic98.html


DIPLO UNITS TO NOT APPEAR ON MAP UNTIL PROXIMITY
  • To make it less easy to just watch the map and work out who sent them

About being succesfull or not.
If you send scouts to him and he has more scouts then you in his city AND he has the Counter Intelligence skill researched, then your scoutmission will fail.

But it only works against the same unit ie thieves vs thieves, saboteurs vs saboteurs.

BUT this will change later too i believe.
Let me find the link on the forum.

EDIT:
http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/game-balance-diplomatic-units_topic201_page1.html

GL reading it :)

Not at all.. a successful mission is when scouts come back with the infos and the ennemy was unwary of them (of maybe just an old lady reported seeing.. what did she see? she wasn't wearing her glasses..)
