New Convoy Interception Feature
Convoy Interception
It's now possible to intercept enemy convoys with your own convoys, if you're fast enough. When a convoy is intercepted, a battle is done out in the open where the intercepted convoy act as the defender and the intercepting convoy the attacker. The major difference in this battle format is that the defender has no defending structures.
If the attacker gets a decisive victory, the intercepted convoy turns around and heads back to the location it was sent from.
The normal point limits apply to intercepting convoys except for convoys targeting your town, those you can always intercept.
This is potentially a big change and we are looking for feedback at the end of the round to see how we can best balance it with the rest of the game.

December Updates
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and we hope next year will bring us all many goods things!
To start off good, we have just given everyone a free wildcard, a little early Christmas Present, enjoy!
We also put a few updates online today. As always if you have any issues come poke us on Discord!
- We added a holding page for when the game is ticking to prevent player actions from interfering with it
- Fixed surprise attack calculations. It was not possible to get a surprise attack before. You will not get a surprise attack if your convoy contains mortars or if the defender has spotted the convoy. Defending checkposts lowers the chance of a surprise attack.
- Government Aid will no longer be sent out to "enemies of the state".
- Rubble is now also added when acres are attacked.
- Stats page did not count tax from villages allowing players to hide their true income level.
- Queued research will now be started after income has been calculated instead of before.
- It is no longer possible to queue more than 20 buildings on an acre.
- Fixed scavenger tech not being applied.
- Build modifier no longer counts for removing rubble.
- Added "Spot Convoy" op to the town ops page and moved the op icons from the right side of the map to the left for better visibility.
- Government special unit is now Marines
- Removed CSRF token check on login page, it was too annoying.
- Border Patrol tech will now remove the ally trade penalty from checkposts
- probably other fixes
