Well, its your call. I can rollback the turn yet another time if thats what you guys want.

If we roll back, I think we will have to go all the way back to Turn 29 once again to avoid the odd things going on. And even then, I am not sure that will fix it permanently.

I say we plow on. If the game spirals out of control so bad that it crashes in the near future, we can always go back to Turn 29 yet again.

Of course, I am having game errors never before seen by this cat, so it is hard to say exactly what will happen to this game.

The thing about roll-backs is, if we can't identify for certain the original corrupting "event", we don't know if the added trouble of a replay is worth it (given the risk that the confusion of a replay could add more corruption).

So I'm cautiously in favor of pushing forward, but I encourage everyone to report any signs of bad behavior in the game. That way we can monitor whether things are stable or growing worse

I agree with Djo.

If we can try not to have any more rollbacks / confusion over correct turn files, maybe the game won't get fatally corrupted. So far it seems the weirdest things we've seen are unexpected commanders popping up, am I right? And since Panther says his knight commanders showed up *last* turn, that would mean we'd have to go back and do, what, a fourth turn 31? I'd almost Nagot Gick Fel then do that turn again...

So anyhow: speak up if weird things happen, and hopefully the world will wait until it's supposed to end, at turn 60.

QM has yet to send his turn 32, or even respond to any of my subsequent emails. Should I turn him AI and keep the game moving?

oops... sorry guys, I totally forgot about this game. I will get in my turn as soon as I can this evening.
