On the kingdom info screen you get vital statistics of the other factions without ever having met them. You know there tech levels, their money, resources, who they know, etc. All well and good to have a way to earn that information, but in a strategy game just giving that information out really defeats the purpose of the game. The game needs at  least some form of espionage system. If just something basic like from galactic civilizations 1. Just giving away this information though either lets you know from the get go if you are winning losing or if your evenly matched gives you a serious edge you never earn by "strategizing" to that position in the game. Please do something about this.
