Well, this can be dropped for AI scripting, where it's easy enough to
have the AI run on one computer, and orders sent to the others.  In
fact, it should be possible to have map scripted events be calculated on
one computer and sent as orders to the other computers, which would
more-or-less remove the need for synchronous scripting.  That said, this
depends on a complete rewrite of the order system, which itself isn't
scheduled until after 1.1alpha1 is released.  Part of the reason we
don't talk about this is that it becomes too tempting to go and rewrite
it :)
