| | + | SOMs and other intel operations' accuracy is dependent on the number of thieves that succeed in the operation. The range of accuracy runs from +/-3% to +/-25%. To achieve the minimum of randomness 10% of the senders thieves need to gather intel on the target province. |

| − | * If a 0 is present - for example, if it shows that Elites home = 0, then it is certain that your target has sent all his elites out on an attack. You may cast a Crystal Ball to determine how many elites he has. | + | * Troops out on an attack |

| − | ==How do I Get an Accurate Defense from a SoM?==
| |
| − | <b>#1</b> With < 10 thieves, take 2 SoMs
| |
| − | <b>#2</b> Note the value you want translated (e.g. Net defense at home) on the 2 SoMs
| |
| − | <b>#3</b> Run the values through a [[Guide:SoM#Where_Can_I_find_SoM_Translators.3F|SoM Translator]]

| − | =Explain SoM Translators to me!=
| |
| − | What SoM translators do is that they run SoM values values through a table, multiplying it from 0.75 to 1.25, and match up the output values from the first and second SoM to determine the exact translated value.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==When May SoM Translators be used?==
| |
| − | SoM translations may be used for any value on the "Spy on Military" page such as:-
| |
| − | * ''Defence at home''.
| |
| − | * ''Infiltrate values'', to determine exact number of thieves a province has.
| |
| − | * ''Spec and Elite values'' on '''Armies Out''' in SoMs, to figure out how many soldiers and specs were sent off in an attack, to calculate your [[Ambush]]. | |

| − | ==FAQ==
| |
| − | ===How Accurate are SoM+SoM Translations?===
| |
| − | SoM translations are 100% accurate.
| |
| − | A SoM + SoM translation is more accurate than [[Angel]]'s CB+SoM translation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===I get Too Many Values from a SoM translation!===
| |
| − | If you get multiple answers, get another SoM Value and add the third value to your translator.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===I don't get Any Values from a SoM translation!===
| |
| − | If you get '''NO''' answers from the first two values, then the target's true defense changed in between the time you took to obtain the first and second value.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These are some possibilities:
| |
| − | * Hour just changed and he had defense in training.
| |
| − | * His defensive military efficiency changed; either he got hit or he casted Town Watch or Minor/Greater Protection.
| |
| − | * His defense changed due to soldier aid.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===I don't get it, why can't I just send 1000 thieves for a closer estimate?===
| |
| − | Even if you send more thieves, there is a margin of error, with a minimum of ~10%. Furthermore, if you fail an op, that leads to thief losses. If you send 8 thieves and fail an op, you lose 0 thieves. You really are aiming for 2 SoM values of a large range, which leads to one true translated value.

| − | ===SoM+SoM Translation bugs===
| |
| − | There are None.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Angel's CB+SoM Translation bugs===
| |
| − | If your target has Town Watch, Aggression or Fanaticism on, your CB + SoM will be ''(untranslatable)''.

A SOM is a Spy On Military Report of a target, reflecting his military affairs page.
SOMs and other intel operations' accuracy is dependent on the number of thieves that succeed in the operation. The range of accuracy runs from +/-3% to +/-25%. To achieve the minimum of randomness 10% of the senders thieves need to gather intel on the target province.
