+	 * 
+	 * Upon loading an autosave, all human players at war were loaded into the
+	 * game with inactive turns, making it impossible for them to end the turn.
+	 *
+	 * The following hack detects and fixes that problem by forcing the first
+	 * human player in sequential turn mode to be active.
+	 *
+	 * Hopefully this has no side effects but it's impossible for me to know.
