u have to be a certain lvl to be able to build taverns (don't remember, maybe someone else can give that info). you don't need to train spies. they come along with the taverns. you just need to have 1 sword brother for each available spy

At level 7 you are able to build taverns (you can have up to 3) each upgrade will give you the ability to have more amount of agents at the same time.
Level 1 tavern gives you (1 more agent)
Level 2 tavern gives you (3 more agents)
Level 3 tavern gives you (5 more agents)

You can have 15 agents/spies as maximum
Even if you have for example 15 agents as maximum, you'll still need to have active swordbrothers, the taverns only increase the maximum you can have at the same time, and the swordbrothers increase the amount you have in that moment
To spy any Castle/Outpost/Fortress/NPC Tower, you have to click on the target castle, and click on the "Espionage" button from the ring menu
Select the type of espionage, the castle your spies will be send from, then the accuraccy of the report (Higher accuraccy higher costs and risk), and the amount of agents you will send for that mission (more agents less risk of being caught, but It'll be more expensive)
Choose the horses (If you want to use horses) and then send the espionage mission
If the agent(s) suceed you'll get the report accoring to the accuraccy you chose earlier
If you fail, you will not get a report and the enemy will find out you try to spy him
There are two types of Espionage, Military and Economic, the Military one will give you the details about soldiers/tools/farmers in the target castle, and the economic one the amount of resources currently there
Have on mind, anything can happen between the time you send an attack, and the time you have the spy report that is because the reports don't update, unless you send another mission
Sabotage works the same as espionage, but instead of spying it will damage the buildings of the other player
