Well that's just because your posts usually have such a high dose of channeled Samuel L. Jackson in them I'm somewhat convinced your mouse probably has "Bad Motherf***er" engraved in it. Whereas I get repeatedly told I'm one of the nicest people around, no wonder no-one sees me as a threat. Even after I pillage their lands and take their women, that is.

But still, I'm thinking this is probably a bit too big map. I'm estimating a burn-out around the time I've killed Ulm and taken the seas from Abysia, just from a sheer size of my future empire.

Awww.

So, now what? Rollback or do we just move on?

I vote rollback. a stale for all will harm some players significantly more than others, and seems unfair.

Incidentally, is there anything that is known to cause this to happen? The server didn't say what would have made it happen, and I'm curious if its user error of some kind that does it.

Apparently some issue with the 2h file from someone, maybe wrong mod enabled/wrong turn file.

Would like to avoid everyone having to redo their turns if possible. Rollback is likely. Hang on a sec.

Going to try a rollback and a force host, will likely happen again, but let's see.

If you rollback then force host no .2h files will have been provided, since llamaserver took them out to deal with the error. If you rollback I you'll need everyone to submit .2h files unless you want everyone to stale again.

No one knows the exact cause of this error, but it's common enough to be annoying and the only fix is to actually make the game re-save your .2h file. As in either "Redo turn from start" or go into your turn, change something, and hit end turn. Just hitting end turn might work, but better be safe.

Apparently the server still has the old turn files there when a rollback is performed, though it indicates that everyone needs to resend their turn files.

Well the scores have updated so something happened.

Now if I don't see my turn being sent to me shortly I'll resend all of them and see what happens.

I have gotten that error when working on mods before, when there is an invalid command or incompatible mods. Could it possibly be the result of someone having a mod turned on when they did their turn?
