Just the other day the game was down temporarily a the webhost did some maintenance. It appears they changed up the server time without telling me, and that's why for the last two update times military purchases weren't reset at midnight, but instead at 7AM.

Another consequence of their messing with the times is that turns are back on even numbered hours as they should be. Military purchases and espionage operations will still be reset at 12AM server time.

Lastly, it's just about winter break for me, so expect more updates and improvements within the next two weeks. I apologize for not devoting enough time recently in the past 2 weeks, but I've been incredibly busy.

Espionage has been modified slightly. Your attack timer now resets at midnight server time every day. You get one operation per day, unless you have the CIA National Project which doubles that.

A bug was fixed that was allowing nations to be sabotaged more than 3 times per day.

A few new flags have been added in to the game: Belarus, Scotland, and Eritrea.

When executing an espionage operation with 100% odds, there will now still be a ~1.5% chance that you are discovered (while still being successful).
