It might work, but ISTR that the latest patch does some checking of data files to make sure someone isn't trying to cheat by using different files to run their turn
Yes. But that can be gotten around, *if* you're the host.
So:
Pre-game, send all files out, replace files
First turn, use modded files
afterfirst turn, everyone replaces their files and the host switches over to the normal SE4 set.
In order to do that, the host just needs to run another turn manually; that'll load the different data files for the game. AIs get a leg up on human players, and the human players are probably going to loose a turn, but that can't really be avoided.
