LITTLE THINGS

---

Scrapping and donating is now more expensive. Scrapping is 2x the cost of a unit, donating costs on average about 45% of the cost of a unit. Force mod has been turned off. Vehicle ops can now use upto 4 infantry of any type.

Team Operations. have been removed due to lack of interest and confusion in peoples attack options.

! IMPORTANT NOTES !

1. The Penalty for finishing Operations without enough bv destroyed was increased dramatically. On the other hand, Payouts for properly played games are better now.
2. Units that are pushed off the map have a chance to get scrapped or salvaged. This is to discourage edge-camping.
3. To discourage min-maxing, armies that are only legal for conquest operations do not count towards Production. Building balanced armies is encouraged.
4. Counterattacks are disabled.
5. Operations for Conqust Factions have an ELO-adjustment. This means that all payout may vary depending on the rating of the participating players
6. Victory Conditions "BV Ratio Percent" and "Destroy Enemy BV" are enabled for all operations and both must be met to trigger an automatic Victory.
7. ALL Games are Double Blind.
8. Support Unit tag is no longer in use. If they were, they would not count towards the BV spread.
