Default Re: CB Mod

If in the first post you advertise the game as using mods, you should stick with it. It is unfair if players sign up for a game because of mods or certain settings, and then then they are changed later. Plus asking these questions tend to start arguments where no one agrees. It is best to just state the rules of the game at the beginning, and then stick with it.
It originally read something like
"Conceptual Balance Mod (unless players would rather play vanilla?)
Worthy Heroes Mod (unless players would rather play vanilla?)"

As for the replay bug:
In dom2 there were two reasons for the replay bug AFAIK:
1) Difference in version between host and client.
2) Difference in OS between host and client, due to a bug that has been fixed. (IIRC they had some lines that were similar to "if (random()>random())" and on one OS it would generate the left one first and on another it would generate the right one first)
None of which really fit the case.

Since these are SP games WraithLord is talking about, I have no real guess what is going on. Perhaps due to some bug in 3.10 the game generates a turn as if it was generated by version 3.10 and reads it with the client as if it was 3.8? Or the other way around? Or maybe it generates the turn without considering the mods and reads it with the client with consideration for the mods? Or the other way around?
It sounds a bit unlikely to me that the mods themselves are the source of the problem, though they may be a catalyst to it.

But then, what the hell do I know?
