Re: Host: v3.01 , client: v3.00 How is this worki
As the save/turn file format hasn't been changed, oc. you can play 'mixed' games.
But there's no auto-update feature build into Dominions up to now ...
Therefore, it's a bad idea, as it will cause battle inconsistencies - the replay might not show the same battle result as the battle report: the 1st one is re-calculated by the client each time you view the battle, the 2nd one is generated by the server and passed along in the turn file.
You might end up watching a battle which happens in a slightly different universe, with rules of nature which are slightly different. Interestingly enough, this even applies if the changes in the patch do not "apply" directly to what happened during that battle - simply using the wrong exe version is enough.
