First Diplomatic Carnage
- Diplomacy is getting a complete makeover, and this is the first salvo in that.
- The entire concept of Trust has gone away. Attitude is enough.
- Everything that previously used trust in some way now uses attitude.
- The entire concept of gathering intel as it used to exist is gone. That's going to work differently coming up.
- Getting other races to do certain things for you is now gone:
- Reverse Wind (this was too powerful, sort of, and also too confusing when used).
- Set Attack Bounty On Race (international incidents made this obsolete).
- All of the stealing and spying stuff that other races would do for you (this was of super dubious value to begin with).
- You now always know who the leader of the other races are as soon as you meet them.

It's unusual that we'd split a beta period into two sets of release notes, but what can we say -- the prior release notes had gotten to 36,000 words, and it was time to cut them off and start a new batch.
