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 20% 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
