Re: Host: v3.01 , client: v3.00 How is this working?
His battles will probably look wrong. The replays often won't be exactly the same in different versions, and even the tiniest change causes everything after it to be randomized again, resulting in wildly different battle results.
The server's calculations are always the only ones that affect the game. Even if his battle review shows he won without losses, if battle report says one commander died, one commander DID die.

Re: Host: v3.01 , client: v3.00 How is this worki
What happens with "balance" changes between version? For example the tribal archers cost was raised to 10 gold. Would someone with version 3 still be able to get them for 8?
Or Hellheim for example could recruit Helheims in all forts (not just capital) until version 3.1
Both of those would could be a rather large advantage is someone was unscrupulous enough to exploit them.

I think they would be unable to do that, but it's a good question.

Re: Host: v3.01 , client: v3.00 How is this worki
As the turn processing is completly on the host i think the tribal archer cost of the host is the one that counts.
But what might be interesting is what happens if you create big queues in 3.00 for 8 gold and then update to 3.01 and now stop the recruitment, maybe you will now get 10 gold back.
With the Helheims its not sure if it works or not, its the matter if the host checks the queue or not, if he does it wont work, but if he just lets you build units who are in the queue you might get them.
But this questions can only the developer answer, as he is the only one able to see the source.

Or, one could test it with a double install...
