Bribe ability for spy

Bribe as an ability for spy would be great.
30% Conversion chance.
Rng: 1
Consumes the spy.
Affected by conversion boost.

Isnt that kinda OP considering how hes invisible? Trains in just 1 turn?

Even though he only has one health? I could see an army of spy spreading converting each other.

Oh yeah. I haven't thought about the balance.
Lets forget this topic.

Is there any way to unlock a units abilities after paying them? Maybe this would be more balanced if you first had to pay the spy with some valuables/money courier, before he could bribe enemy units. If you decided not to, he would stay as a regular spy.

What about 10% chance to convert?

Hmm maybe but it'll be underused. Since spies will need to come close to activate the ability. So I think 30 or 20% is good. And this'll make watch towers and scout dogs more valuable. And spies are really easy to kill. Soo maybe making it unaffected by conversion boost?

I think money courier should have bribe ability.

Endru mentioned just recently that there might be bribery coming into play at some point with money couriers.

But sounds like it's just an idea being thought about at the mo, he does seem to have a fair few ideas in the cooking pot

It might be much harder to bribe people with easy to kill money couriers than with in invisible spies though
