no idea whats going on there

nothing else should add to spy cost when you have 0 spies right?

one of them even has 5m expenses each turn from spies with 0

5m
500k
20k

seem to be the various ranges with the nw's going from high to low but with the bands the cheapest one isnt always the smallest

I assume when you run a turn you are actually incurring that expense in the turn? Just to rule out a UI only issue.

yes, this ones actually paying 5m a turn for 0 spies

same country is now at 1.2m cost for no discernable reason

some of the ones it was bugged out on the cost went to 0 when i switched govs which took away the -100% on decay or build they had, maybe that had something to do with it

heres a link to an end of set spy op for a country with 0 spies and 5m spy cost

it has 100% decay still which could be why

all the others without spies switched govs and no longer have spy cost if they are at 0 spies

Interesting, it looks like the max building costs create issues too. Maybe several of the bonuses if maxed break the game in some way!

this is still happening this set when i hit 100% decay

TTT

residual spy ally costs?

it kinda makes no sense either way.

thats a humdinger.

Sorry i didnt post, we are looking into it. It appears it only happens when you get to 100% of a bonus..

I plan to look into this after I finish some other work that's currently in progress.

This has been fixed on all game servers. The issue was caused by putting spy tech on the public market.
