Actually, cooperative intel from an ally can help you defend against intel attacks. Since your attack is enhanced, you can divert a greater percentage of your intel production to defense.

Good point, CK. Do you have any insight about my second question?

(By the way, thanks very much for all you do to help us newbies get a handle on the wonderful complex game!)

[Captain Kwok]

The effect amounts are somewhat random and do not depend on the level of research you've performed in any of the intelligence achievements.

Thank you for clarifying. I'll let my players know.
