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.
