Gameplay

The Spy Plane is the most advanced mobile surveillance system to date. With the highest Vision scope of any unit, it can reveal enemy Cities and units over a wide area. It covers great distances with speed but be careful - it has no attack capabilities, and its Defenses are minimal.

Historical

In the late 21st century, several different militaries developed their own AI surveillance technology and outfitted spy planes, flown entirely by computer AI. Ostensibly for use against enemies of the state, the spy planes were often employed to monitor non-urban areas within their own countries, looking for illegal activities. Despite the breathless claims of triumph on the part of the law in reducing crime, many began to resent that this particular crime reduction method came at the expense of nearly all personal freedoms.
