(v5) Multiplayer Capability Improvement?
Literally one of the best mods I've found on the workshop, a great mixture of amazing ideas and execution to make for a real challenge! However, as much as I love the mod, compiling it with my private multiplayer packs I play with my friends causes a lot of trouble and I'm looking for some help fixing these problems. Here's my analysis:

Modpack A - Has a bunch of mods, adding various civs, textures, buildings, tech tree modifications, etc. I can be more specific but it's a long list.
Modpack B - Has the same exact mods as modpack A, but also includes Barbarians Evolved v5
Desync - When all players are forced back to the loading screen into the game

Both Modpack A and B were compiled with https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=361391109, a multiplayer mod workaround created by the people over at civfanatics.com

Test 1:
i) Load up modpack A
ii) Play for about 50-60 turns
iii) Save game
iv) Reload game (with same players and mods)
v) Play another 10 turns, no problems!
Test 2:
i) Load up modpack B
ii) Play for about 50-60 turns(no problems here! barbarians make it a challenge to survive but thats the point)
iii) Save game
iv) Reload game (again with the same players and mods)
v) Play about 2 more turns before a desync occurs, and then another desync occurs about every 1-2 turns afterwards

I repeated Test 1 and Test 2 twice on different maps to make sure they weren't anomalies. I'm very new to the modding scene, but I want to contribute and make my own multiplayer packs. Perhaps the mod author could key me in to why I'm getting these desyncs or how to fix them.

This mod has SQL updates which I believe makes it incompatible with the multiplayer mod.

Thanks for confirming. I figured that was the problem and that it wouldn't translate well to multiplayer. Still a great mod that I use in my singleplayer games.
