That's right, Chief.

jotun.trn - contains Jotun player turn file describing situation at start of current turn.
Is this the file returned from host to the Jotun player in PBEM games?
Right again.

Quote:
In a running game does this file contains God data?
Only in the sense of the gods as units. I'm not sure if any other pertinent god data is included.

ftherlnd = history file
Province data? Anyting else?
When is this file updated in a PBEM game? When the player opens his new .trn file?
ftherlnd is the "world state" file. It contains all of the information about the world, which is needed to host a game. It's updated at every hosting. In a PBEM game, players should not be sent this file unless you wish them to be able to do oracular hosting, or you wish to change who is handling the hosting.
