How would you address that in spying and the effects that has on fairness. These suggestions are all well and good but without some practical but simple way to implement it given the nature of the game they have no value.

I thought that characters could move between territories. The sensors could then see that movement and tell who is moving around and who is staying put in the surrounding territories. It would be a guess to who would be joining up in a campaign against your territory. But at least you would know what to expect for an invading force.

Da, setting it up as a territory-upgrade like the shields and turrets would be good.

And we need to add Combat Engineers to Burn's list. They would determine just how fast a faction could build their fortifications and territory-upgrades.

Oooh I like that one.

yes
