Through operations you can gather specific intel on different armies, seize temporary control of enemy industry, and create diversions to distract the enemy.īefore you can do any of those though, you will have to recruit operatives into your spy network. Unlike missions, operations perform specific tasks that accomplish a unique goal. All missions are general assignments and lack specificity. They can also influence trace and enforce diplomatic pressure, making missions a valuable activity to be performed.
There are a variety of missions available to your agency, from performing counter-espionage to constructing spy networks in other countries. Meanwhile operations are complex activities that are more difficult and very impactful. Missions are simpler, require less of a time investment, and usually static boosts. These are actions that you can perform around the world utilizing your intelligence agencies.
In order to start using your intelligence agency, you will have to invest some civilian factories for 30 days to create it. These agencies simulate the extensive espionage that existed during World War II, with a variety of options available to players who choose to use them. With the La Résistance DLC, Paradox introduced intelligence agencies in Hearts of Iron IV.
