Nah, I can't belive that!
This is a new turn sent out by the PBW server.
No orders are given by any AI BEFORE the turns are sent out.
The AI plays when the server runs the turns IF there hasn't arrived any valid turnfile.

1. No valid turn when turn processes-
AI plays-
Execute turns!
2. Send out turnfiles.
3 go to one.

Right?

Not:
1. No valid turn when turns processes-
AI plays.
Execute turns
AI plays
2. Send out turns.
3 Go to one.

I cannot explain the dynamics of it, I can only say that if you look at the Empires screen, you will see that a reply has already been sent to any message that came in on that turn and the AI is the one who sent it.

Well, it's the best explaination yet. So I'd better belive it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

I believe this is a bug, maybe it's good that you cannot accept a gift a turn after, since a long time cuold have changed things, but you should defeinetely be able to send a new message.

Secuential multiplayer included the date in the filename to avoid confusing files. why don't simultaneous do the same?
