Conquest PBW (Star Trek Mod v1.35) Question:

If everyone can agree on it, then I shall email Geoschmo and ask him to update the game to 191.

I vote to upgrade, since I have now installed the patch and will otherwise not be able to play in the Conquest PBW game.

I heard that if I play my turns with v1.91 while the PBW host is generating turns with v1.84 then my ministers will take over.

So, if you want me to keep playing I wholeheartedly vote for upgrading the Conquest PBW server/host

Cheers!

Actually you won't be able to play your turns. You will get a message that the data files do not match.

You can turn off your ministers.

At the bottom of the Minister window is the option to turn of the Minsiters during simutanius play.

It reads "AI will not make changes to game" or somethimg like that.

Why are you taking a vote? Just upgrade the game. There is no reason not to upgrade it.

Well, just as I expected, I can't play the current turn due to it having been generated in v1.84.

I guess this means I'm out of this game, oh well, it was fun while it Lasted.

I hope the people remaining in the game don't run into the same problem as me. But in any case, I hope my demise due to incompatible Version numbers doesn't kill the fun for the three remaining players.

Cheers!

Why would missing one turn put you out of the game? The AI can play this one for you and then you can take back over.

If you think the AI is gonna destroy your empire in one turn, then get someone else to play it for you.

Or for that matter, reinstall 1.84 on your pc and play the turn.
