I like that these ones are doing something a little different mechanically and in feel, and having a longer plot definitely helps keep down the intrusiveness/extra clicks! I haven’t tried it out yet, but I imagine the extendableness will, too.
Haven’t yet figured out how to get the second new agent. Hopefully if I run a couple of intelligence plots something will reveal itself. This seems like it should have a new home base separate from the Oceanic Society, maybe that’s also something that will appear after completing some plots. A home base doesn’t seem of much use now since basically everything is done on the agent tab, but if things get much more complicated, I could see it being necessary.
