"Trade deficit" - in beta testing phase.
Will allow players to exchange IC between each other.
Each player will have a certain "Trade deficit" which will determine the amount of IC he can send to or receive from other players.

 - The Trade deficit will be equal to player's current net worth points * 20.

Example: If the player has 1,000,000 net worth points, his Trade deficit will then be 20,000,000.

 - Each sending or receiving of IC will, respectively, increase or decrease.

 - Each IC sending will generate Trade deficit loss, which will be determined by the receiver's current and maximum deficit difference.

Example 1: Receiver's maximum deficit is 100 IC. His current one is 90 IC. If 10 IC is sent, he will receive only 1 IC.
Example 2: Receiver's maximum deficit is 100 IC. His current one is 0 IC. If 30 IC is sent, he will receive
10 + 10 + 20/100(30 - (10) - (10 + 10/100*100)) = 21,8 IC

 - The player's maximum positive balance is equal to his current net worth points * 20

Example 1: If the player has 100 net worth points, then his maximum positive balance is 2000. His current balance is -200 (he received 200 IC). That means the maximum amount of IC he can send is 2200.
 
 - The IC is traded through Transporters, which travel with their standard speed.

 - Once loaded with IC and sent, the Transporters cannot be ordered back.

These changes are planned, please be aware of them:

- Entering Vacation Mode will not be possible while there are still traveling armies.
> This includes returning armies and relocation - all armies must be stationary.
> This change has been modified, see ahead.

- Time spent in Vacation Mode will not count toward the 1 week spent as a Rogue Nation following nuclear attacked.
> For example, if I launch nuclear missiles at an "innocent target", I become a Rogue Nation for 1 week; if, three days later, I go into Vacation Mode, when I come out of it I will still be a Rogue Nation for four more days.
> This change has been canceled.

These upcoming changes have been reconsidered and modified:

To be uploaded on Monday (possibly only to Realm 1 at first):

- Population density will have an effect on battles, in main bases only (a.k.a Urban Warfare)
- The Urban Warfare technology will have an effect for all units in all Urban battles (2,000 pop. density or higher).
- The firepower of tanks and helicopters (of both sides) will be reduced in Urban theatre; the firepower and hitpoints of infantry will be increased.
- Attacker artillery in Urban settings will cause infrastructure damage and population death, as collateral damage, at a cost to its battle damage. The higher the density, the bigger the effect. Defender artillery will fire at full power at the enemy.
- To clarify: Bunkers and minefields will experience no change.

Note: This has been implemented.

Era-ending (endgame) achievements will be entering the advanced testing phase later today. More details (how it works, which eras it will be deployed in etc.) will be published as available.

Note: This has been implemented.

In order to conserve system resources, as well as improve system security, detailed battle reports will no longer be available.

An improved version of the reports will be introduced in the future.
