Spies can be used to disrupt activities in an enemy city. You can halt production, or disrupt defensive forces. Move the spy to a city and you should be presented with a menu of "spy" actions. Having spies in your cities helps defend against enemy spies. Does that help?

This picture of what looks to me like a guy behind a wall, holding, maybe a camera, is being shown everytime I talk with other countries. I always wondered what it was.

Wait a minute, there are no such thing as a spy in Civlization ECS. Only diplomats. Are you saying if I had a diplomat in my city, this picture would not be shown because the diplomat would prevent another country from sending in a spy?

For some reason when I replied there was not picture in your post - I see what you mean now! That does look like a spy.

Only diplomats huh? I've been playing the crap out of Civilization on iOS lately (which has spies) so that's the first thing I thought of. :D

Yeah, that's about right. I love the setting of a big city feeling stretching across six, seven real map countries. LOL
By placing cities with two squares apart it creates a fence like border.

I think you get that picture when there's news from one of your advisors about goings-on in other Civs.

You get that exact picture randomly - its a glitch :D

Normally theres a whole bar with something like "Spies report - granary burnt down in athens!"  or something like that.  The pic you are showing just happens randomly, usually later in the game for some reason.
