MP: Pointy Sticks MA started

[shatner]

I'm not aware of any roll-back bugs, specifically, but they are generally considered bad news and to be avoided when possible because of how they warp the game. Say player 1 sends a force to go conquer some indies and on the following turn his force collides with another player's force and gets annihilated in the process. Should the turn be rolled back, it would take a lot of discipline for that player to behave as though he didn't know what was going to happen. This goes doubly with diplomacy related reveals (e.g. "on turn X, my neighbor declares war and now the turn as been rolled back... I better beef up my defenses").

All that said, I'm not happy about having Vanheim going AI and will submit to a rollback if everyone else is willing to handle it maturely. I keep a turns folder for each MP game so, in the event of a rollback, I am going to just re-submit my turn 8 .h file so nothing will be any different.
