This week’s update features the newly envisioned Theater Defense System. These monsters are, in one word- effective.
The US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD for short, is an anti-ballistic Theater Defense System designed in response to the Scud missile attacks experienced by the US in the Gulf War in ‘91. Most notably with this system, in order to minimize risk of explosion, missiles are not armed with warheads, instead relying upon kinetic energy to detonate both low and high altitude missile attacks.
The massive Russian S-400 Triumf incorporates four missile types in its performance envelope. Designed to address any type of threat, be that short-range (with the 9M96E) or very-long-range (with the 40N6), the S-400, known as the Growler, is deserving of its name and reputation, as a rapidly deployable, highly survivable, and lethal piece of gear.
And lastly, the highly automated EU’s SAMP/T is designed to counter current and future airborne threats. It fires a total of eight Aster 15 and Aster 30 Interceptors within ten seconds, each equipped with blast fragmentation warheads capable of destroying UAV’s, cruise missiles, short-range ballistic missiles, and yes, not to omit, fighter aircraft.

BALANCING
- Increased Victory Point Requirement on the 26 player map by 250
- Increased Victory Point Requirement on the 45 player map by 250
- Lowered and unified starting research costs for all doctrines to allow an easier start to the game
- Introduced gradually increasing resource research costs to make shifting to another branch more attractive
- Introduced gradually increasing money prices for higher level unit mobilization to partially compensate for the influx of conquered resources
- Reduced Hit Points for most units in the mid/late game tiers to allow faster fight resolution in the mid/late game, shifted focus to higher technology units to even out chances
- Shifted resources needed for unit mobilization to make more sense and free up needed supplies
- Changed Streamlined Production Research from lowering price to increasing production speed
- Removed on-map resources from minor country cities on the 26 player map
- Shifted some resource types for minor country cities on 26 player map
- Slightly reduced starting HP for Mechanized Infantry
- Adjusted money price for Aircraft Carriers, Stealth Bombers and several other high profile units
- Fixed: Aircraft now remain on their aircraft carrier and won’t be lost over the ocean when splitting the carrier out of the fleet.
- Disabled inter-player Unit Trading due to bugs related to this mechanic
- Disabled inter-player Resource Trading due to abuse by cheaters, ruining the game experience for everyone else
- Removed Rare Materials from the market for balancing reasons

my suggestion: disable rares from market for first 3 day of each round. But turn on it later. so you get what you wanted, but dont destroy game completly.
