-The main mechanic works through agreements: [[historical figure]]s reach out to one another and use a variety of tactics (persuasion, blackmail, bribes) to reach an agreement for a variety of things like funding, assassination, stealing.

 The central feature of the 'villains release', '''intrigue''' is a collection of mechanics and tools that enable historical figures to enact [[villain]]ous plots, ensuring a constant stream of [[Fun]] for players. As of .47 interaction with this feature is still somewhat unfinished, with the January 2020 devlog indicating missing elements.

 Intrigue in [[adventurer mode]] is mostly interacted with through the investigation and interrogation menus. There are two major investigatory tactics: Persuasion and Intimidation. Adventurers who wish to investigate benefit from the [[judge of intent]] skill as well. Currently, only asking for schemes will result in proper information appearing in the quest log.

 The civilizations in world generation also have some basic counter-intelligence abilities, and though it's abstract like the rest of world generation, the spy masters and law enforcement position holders, like the villains, have to work in a more-or-less fair fashion to earn their victories. The game keeps track of the evidence they've collected from witnesses, interrogation and surveillance, and this gives them leads on further steps to take, in terms of who to surveil and who to interrogate.

-Intimidation mainly uses the intimidate skill. To make intimidation more effective, you can fight with nearby NPCs, or the particular NPC in question. To avoid killing the NPC, make sure that you stay within the [[Level of conflict#Brawl|brawl]] escalation level - the NPC will rapidly become afraid of you. After this, investigate using the intimidation tactic.
