The Tech tree says it only costs 100 Nova crystals to see what your enemy sees. Is this true? I find it WAY TOO CHEAP.

That is quite absurd,

Maybe cause its the beta, they left out the bit per vil?

If not thats stupid.

I suppose that it'll be 100 Nova per worker, as it is in AoK ??

Yeah 100 nova is way too cheap..hopefully Mr Gaber has changed this...maybe to around 300 to 500

No, no it's not too cheap. You can set the game so the entire map is revealed, everyone sees everything.

Myabe this is like the scan in starcraft, wherte you get a quick glimpse of the enemy. Personally in AOE, it is a little expensive and never was used.

that sounds the most plausible.
let's say you have about...50 workers. Then Bothan Spy Net would cost you 5000 Nova. And that's in the same range of AOK.

Ofcourse that would mean that if your enemy has 50 workers, you pay 5000 nova.

So if your enemy is slaughtered by you, but he keeps a worker in hiding to anoy you ... then pay 100 nova and he's all yours to toast.

I usually run around slaughtering as many workers as I am able to find, then quickly research it to save a bit of the money ....

Something like that -I just realised. I went into the tech tree of a saved recorded game and, well, Bothan spies were avaible for 5900 Nova :).
