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?

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.

What values are always accurate in a SOM?

The only values on a SOM which are always accurately reported are:

• Army out time
• Troops out on an attack
• OME, DME, Net Offense Home, and Net Defense Home
