That's the idea - glad at least Greg has figured out what I'm trying to do - 
that is, rebalance this aspect of the game.  It went too far against the use of 
espionage when the AI was modified to produce billions of diplomats.  I 
hesitate to make the attacker ANY more powerful.  It should be more playable 
now - so lets have some testing with the patch :)

As I've said in a previous email - diplchance still applies, but AFTER the 
mission - so we still have a blanket chance of losing a spy.
