Counter-espionage

[Robinhood112]

Is there any use in using the counter-espionage button when I detect someone spying on my provinces?

If I counter-espionage them then I risk losing 20% of the my spies.  If am successful with my counter-espionage, then all I do is make his spies return to his provinces and the person spying on me loses nothing. 

It seems ridiculous that the person spying doesn't lose anything when I successfully counter-espionage them.  Usually when someone spies on you, they are a higher level player and therefore it is already in their favour that their spies won't get caught.

I can't understand this concept that they lose nothing, even though I have been successful in counter-espionaging them despite things usually being in their favour. I believe this needs fixing.

its a friction, true.

Attacker is risking spy when he tries to infiltrate, defender cant lose spies then. Defender can lose spies when he try to kick out attacker spies. When you click counter-espionage button, you get +3 on your counter espionage lvls. So its nice bonus to defender counter-espionage.
