What is a SoM?

A SoM is a Spy on Military Report of a target, reflecting his military affairs page.

You get SoMs for several reasons

• To determine your target's defense at home (if he has armies out).
• To determine how long his army is out for.
• To determine what sort of troops your target is training.

How Accurate is a SoM?

Value reported in SoM(s) = True Value x Whole number integer* 
  * Ranging between 75 to 125%.

In the new code, the formula for how SoM values are calculated has been changed. The max range is still 75%-125%, but it's not as simple as the formula above anymore. It has been speculated that the change was addition of more decimals (example: 75.000%-125.000%) but there's no evidence for that being true. The range shrinks depending on how many thieves are sent. The lowest possible range you can achieve is 3% in both directions.

What Values ARE accurate in a SoM?

The only values on a SoM which are accurate reported is:

• Army out time
• Troops out on an attack
