patching games on PBW

Ok, but i was more asking about the order. in example: Turn 10 is processed as 1.70. All players download the turn and play them. Then they upload it, still 1.70. When all turns are there, upgrade the game, and the server will process the 1.70 turns with the 1.71 version on the server. When the turns are processed, the new turn will require 1.71 to play.
Okay ?

btw. The update will not destroy savegames, it only adds missing abilites and balances components, but it doesnt add new ones.

As far as I know, that is entirely correct.

The "mod updates for dummies"

-> If you can load the savegame, play normally.
-> If you can't load the savegame, update the mod version and try again.

--

The "Mod updates for admin dummies"
-> Upload new version to PBW
-> Ask PBW admin to upgrade your game to the new version
-> Post news item saying the game will be updating in a few turns. Include copy of "Mod updates for dummies"
