Spys

How does the spy work?  I have sent him to a neighbor, kept him there for a day, brought him back and no reports.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks for all the help.

Did you send them using the attack button?  You have to click on the attack button, then the town which to which you wish to send them.  Then when your troop selection window opens you have to move them like normal to the right and select the espionage mode of attack.  After that is done select what you wish to spy, either resources, units in town or buildings and click on okay and let them go.  :-D  When they are done you will have a report.  :-)

You probably sent your spy to reinforce, rather than to attack. That was why he stayed.
