Hey, just found EB with the 1.0 release and I've been having a great time. I have a question about the background script, namely what happens if I load a game, forget to activate it, then activate it the next turn?

And more specifically, what does the background script actually do. I figure it's responsible for having the little advisor guy pop up at to tell me about the Romans at Rhegium, how crossing the Messana straits would make Carthage mad, etc, but what else might be going on under the hood?
