We'll run with 2. first then and hope we get lucky
and if that fails, have a bit of a think I guess.
So, can everyone load-up their original turn 84's and make some changes here and there. If you haven't got these files any more, then the .trn file for turn 84 can be found in one of the many roll back emails that have been sent out. And the .2h file you should be able to get from your sent emails folder. Assuming your email program/provider etc. automatically saves a copy of sent emails. Almost all of them do I think.
So the game is currently waiting for everyone's altered turn 84 .2h files. It hopefully shouldn't take too long for everyone to get their changed turns in, and then we prey that the Dominions Gods are smiling on us
