With the line you have cited from me I wanted to express my misunderstanding why a 2.08 client denies to process a 2.12 .trn file right from the start by giving an error message, while a 2.12 client processes a 2.14 .trn file without an error message (but replay inconsitencies)?

I think it should not be too difficult to do that the .trn carries its Version number along which is checked by the client! It would help players who are unaware that the host was updated like in this case. I also think some simple Version control is a necessity.
Yeh, I agree - right now there is no good in-game way to tell what Version the server is running. IMO, this is information that should be displayed in the Game Settings screen (where it tells the victory conditions, independent strength, etc). Otherwise right now you have to put two clams or two fever fetishes on a unit for a turn and look to see if you got two gems or one as a result, to tell if it's 2.14 or not.
