- No combined attacks/defenders caps
- 50% worth rule for Moles
- Alliance cap raised
- Alliance worth graphs
- Blue Op success rate lowered a little bit
- Steal more resources from successful attacks
- New spycraft type
- Red Ops have been upgraded to report on defensive buildings when they can (50% of the time), and will now always get 3 different troop types. They will report their results straight to your news.

The new spycraft:
Tactical Team (Cost: 60,000 gold, 20 free citizens)
Tactical teams can be sent to your allied empires to help defend their Command Centre's. Training of this elite squad isn't easy, and only 50% make it through. They take 2 ticks to get into position, and will stay for 3 ticks. Most teams have a 30% chance of stopping Blue Ops from destroying a Command Centre. They will report all successes and failures to you immediately.

Big thanks to Boogey for the spycraft changes as he took care of them.

From now on there will be:

Attack Dogs
Soldiers
Commandos
Laser Troopers

Light Tank
Heavy Tank
AA Tank
Laser Tank

Helicopter
Jet Fighter
Bomber

Their costs and attack values have been tweaked...a lot.

Check out the Excel spreadsheet:

Or a screenshot if you can't open it:

Things to note:
- barracks will be changed to have 10 spaces
- "Worth Value" could be considered the gold value. It makes 1 food worth 0.388 and 1 oil worth 5.71 (which are the average costs over this round)
- Building worth etc will be changed to use this means of worth valuing an empire's assets.
- Def buildings attack values still need to be done (and the units attack verse them)
