Ummm... I think if you have 1 spy, and 0 covert skill, you would either have 1 or 2 as a Covert Action.  :unsure:

Don't you start at spy level 1?  And then with one spy you would have skill?

O if skill is in the equation as an exponenet, like 2^(Spy level)*(Number of Men) or something then 2^(0)*1=1*1=1.
(Remember anything to the power of zero equals 1)

So either way you'd still get a point if you just trained a spy.

No, unit production and spy levels are both 0 at the beginning of an age.

i konw exactly how they did it, the made new accounts, when you actived an account that was already there, you got 1K gold, something like that, but when age 2 started if you made a new account you still got 50K gold, buy some def and attack weapons, and train a spy or two and your top ten.

Ns, if it starts at zero this part of my statement works:

bah, you win then.  i don't get how a zero exponent should equal one though <_< it's one of those things that makes you think that the person who made it up didn't really know anything <_<

No one made it up. It's mathematics.

Look:
2^-3 = 1/8
2^-2 = 1/4
2^-1 = 1/2
2^0 = 1/1
2^1 = 2/1
2^2 = 4/1
2^3 = 8/1

See the pattern?
A negative number gives 1 over a number, and a positive gives a number over 1.
Because zero is neither/both positive and negative, it has 1 over 1. Which is 1.

Never thought of it that way.  Of course, the reason I occasionally have trouble in math is because I don't understand the simple things.  LOL
