Host: v3.01 , client: v3.00 How is this working?

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...

Yeah..this is definitely not good as it is now.. so I guess, I will ask everyone before we start a blitz to update their doms version to the latest available..next time. ^^

You haven't actually tested how it works "as it is now", have you?

Well no..

Just a question. Let's say the HoH will be fixed in 3.02.
Now someone will gonna play with v3.01 on the server. Does this means that his heroes will be attacked by HoH or not?
Basically the server version is what matters in all cases if I understand correctly, so the player with 3.01 probably won't be attacked by the HoH. Anyways its wise to use the latest patch, since his battle replays -for example- can be messed up.

Perhaps there should be a command line switch to prevent others joining to a server with a different version.

Even in the worst case, (i.e. clients could use some changes to cheat in a way that bypasses cheat detection), everything that happens between turns (choosing correct random numbers, checking how many events happen, checking what events happen, checking whether or not Horrors eat people, etc) happens in the server. Server decides whether or not Hunter of Heroes attacks or not.
