OK. Here we go.
I have the original game data as sent by Norfleet and Graeme. So if any problems crop up, and you let me know first turn, I can potentially roll back the game to the original state. The most likely problem would be some sort of map related fiasco.
Make sure that you've installed the fixed Version of hoburg_S.dm that is available at Fixed Hoburg Alliance

If you don't, then Ashikaga's troops on the server will be armed with only fists, and there will be severe inconsistencies in the battle replays.

All the mods I have are the ones you sent me. I'll double check and make sure it's the same mod.

OK, I checked.

The mod appears to be the same content, but the one you sent me had been converted to RTF text format. So I downloaded the new one and reset the server.

I'm surprised it loaded the game at all. A little worried too.

This is my first time hosting a modded game. Do I have to enable the mods using commandline switches? Shouldn't it just use the mods automatically? And as a result shouldn't it have puked on the invalid .dm file? Or would that happen only when it was time to generate the turn? No turns have been generated yet.

Now that the patch is out, I should say that I am not planning to upgrade to 2.13 right away. Largely because, Last I heard, the Linux patch is not working, and I host on Linux.

Once the patch is working, I can leave the decision up to the players in the games. It will be possible for me to run 2.12 and 2.13 games simultaneously.

This policy applies to the benatar.snurgle.org games on these ports:
Return of the Rejects (2000)
KaranGame (2001, formerly Graeme hosted)
Modded (2003, formerly Graeme hosted)
Cradle_of_Zen (2004, formerly Norfleet hosted)
CasualCarnage (2005)
Pantheons (2006)

as well as any future games that I might host.

I noticed you did a good job in the Last turn.
Do you want to keep the game for yourself? Sadly my Abysya was doomed even before your sub.
