The single strangest bug I have ever encountered, period.

That's a very baffling bug. I've never seen anything like that? Maybe it's 2.06->2.08 data conflict? Did you ever install any 2.08 datafiles at any point?

If you say both games hosted at once, it COULD be possible that both of them attempted to read/write the same temporary processing files, and in the process, garbaged each other.

I do beleive that is what happened. We had no water nations in that game, and yet both Atlantis and R'lyeh (who are in the other game I'm hosting) suddenly have control of a large number of provinces.... Also, the units I have are from a Jotun theme I'm not playing, which could very well be from the Jotun player in the other game I'm hosting....

Any chance I could get a comment from someone in the position to know what happened? I have a zip of the game directory - it's pretty good even just for a lark.

Would be funnier if I had the previous turns turn files to show too, but oh well.

Seriously, though. This strikes me as something Illwinter should look into. It is a bug that has effectively destroyed our game....
