Hi all,

I want to quickly describe a new feature we've added: saving spyops within your country. These ops can be found by visiting the "Review Saved Country Spy Operation Results" link on the Spy Center page.

The most recent successful country spyop is automatically saved for each country you successfully op. After 72hrs, it is removed from the system. If you want to keep it longer you can select to save it (clicking the disk icon) and if you want to delete it early, you can do so as well.

This change is mainly for solo servers (which don't have the option to upload ops to hosting sites) and has no impact on the auto-uploading flow for clan servers. For FFA servers, you can view ops all your countries have made from any of your countries on that server. Only the country which made the op can save or delete the op.

Other misc updates:
- Added "additional revenue generated" to Cash page
- Added max tech level to tool-tip text on Research page -- mouse over your current tech percent and it shows max tech level for your current gov
- Added current land and unbuilt acres to the Explore page
- Added the amount of spies and Spy tech percentage to the Spy Center
- Added oil on hand & number of units it can support to the Military page

all good minor changes for usability

first time i read the research one i thought it was max tpt, id kind of like to see a "your labs are functioning at 75% efficiency" for those people that insist on running 50% labs

Good stuff. Great job developers.

Haven't tried the ops thingy yet tho, since I don't have a country in solo servers :(

it also works on clan servers, it's just likely not as useful as what hosting sites offer.

that's a pretty good idea -- although I would adjust the calculation to not include CS in the "efficiency", so something like: Efficiency = (labs/(land-cs))*100

Good additions, especially the saving spyops. I'd been copying and pasting them and messaging them to myself.

Very nice! Any chance the spy ops can start showing tech in percentage and not just pts? I think the new players might have troubles figuring out just how much to send from the ops alone on solo servers.

throw in a divide by 2 and +.5 and then you can ignore the csites if you want but labs only ever work at minimum 50% not 0%

also could be a good spot for a tip message saying you shouldnt be researching because your tpt is too low, or you could make an extra xxx points if your non cs buildings were all labs

a general tip saying over 95% or 90% is good might be ok

Efficiency = {.5+([labs/2]/(land-cs))}*100

that should work

Very nice upgrade guys. Small things like this can really improve a game. I don't want to be fluff'n because you guys have been doing an excellent job.

On the spy page, Where the line has been added
"You have xxxx spies available, with yyy% spy effectiveness."

Would it be possible to add a SPAL indicator?

Not a big deal, and once again, good stuff and thanks :)

what's dave got to do with it?

if you're thinking of making the change that diz suggests i just want to mention that allies spies should be be included in that calculation.

just realised these changes are new. Noticed them this reset (didnt notice last set due to warring). Little things like this are going to make it so much easier for newer players

i had no idea, this is awesome, the spy ops at least.. i kept wondering on solo servers where it was being updated to- i figured it was a mistake based off my profile automatically updating to boxcar.. but as i said, this is great for tourny and express!

thanks :)

Outside of a war I really have no use for spyops but the other changes are nifty.
