I don't think it would be the mod picker. The game data files load when the game is fired up - I don't think it goes back and checks the path file and then reloads based on that - that would be nuts.

I very often play simultaneous turns and close the mod-picker, or not, or even launch more than one SE4 game at the same time on the same computer, and I have not noticed any such problems. I've not used that mod combo either, but that doesn't seem like a likely cause, either. I am curious to know what's going on with Cyrien's game, though.

If you look at your race description under Empires, does it list your racial advantages correctly?

The research thing though I haven't seen anything like that ever.

Maybe send someone else your turn file and see if it looks the same to them. If so, then send to Malfador!
