Recent Previous Changes

Note - You will not be able to load old save after updating - so make sure you finish your game before updating!
Espionage!

This is a redesign of the old Agent system. Espionage uses Infiltration Levels per empires where you get passive bonuses and you are able to activate offensive missions per Infiltration level.

The Espionage points you get based on your population for free, and you can further increase the budget by paying credits.

The bigger the rival empire, the easier it will be to infiltrate it and vice versa.

Each empire you encounter enables you to invest a weight of your total budget and the progress / ETA of operations will be determined by that weight.

This system is new and you will encounter bugs. So please update me in the #issues-and-testing-blackbox channel when you see them.
If you are fond of the old Agents system, you can enable it in the Rule options before you start a game. It will disable the new system.

Fix: Diplomacy Screen Crash in v1.50.15038

This also includes several bug fixes for bugs I encountered while developing this system.
