To clarify, I believed I sent my turn in before the deadline, but it reached the server after the turn was processed. Therefore there was no 'prescience' on my part for the turn that was sent, and that is the turn I would play.

Erk. I can do this, using all the turns people sent in before the deadline (hence no prescience), but I don't particularly like the precedent it sets, this kind of thing could easily get a bit out of control. Do other people have thoughts? If it was a particularly crucial turn for shard I suppose it might be a fair thing to rerun the turn (using, of course, only 2hs which were sent before hosting).

It was quite a crucial turn, involving a lot of panicky last minute decisions and changes. However, as I estimate TC to only be a 2nd or 3rd tier power with little chance of overall victory in this game I shall leave it up to you guys to decide. At any rate I shall be looking to find a permanent sub for at least one of the 3 games i am involved in as its obvious I have overextended myself. This isnt the first time i've cut a turn close and I suppose I had it coming.

I really have to object to this. If you don't make the deadline, you don't make the deadline. I'm sorry that shard sent his turn in but it didn't make it there on time. That's what happens when you try to cut it too close to the wire.

I don't think you can equate missing the deadline, which is something you're responsible for taking care of, with having your turn mangled by the server.

Interesting, 2 eagle warriors just randomly became commanders with (thematic) magic, and a slave warrior became a plain troop commander.

This is what happened to me when my turn was messing up. I would suggest deleting the files for sloth, and redownloading your turn.

Same thing even when downloaded into a fresh folder.
