Yeah, it's pretty soon.  The deck started with 80 cards, with the 4 topples being dealt into the bottom ~54 cards.  We currently have 37 cards left in the deck and have only seen the first topple card.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The Persian Slave Market seems to have a new owner, and it continues to generate money for the man behind it, as well as local tribes

Bought and played Persian Slave Market, paying whoever has a tribe in Persia (I keep forgetting the colours).

I DID however, forgot to put down a Russian road. Berkut, please put one between Persia and Herat. Thank you!

No Topple card just yet!

Tamas, in order to place a Russian road, you need to remove a Russian cylinder from elsewhere on the board.  Berkut cannot make that decision for you...

Anyway, I cannot put the card into Berkut's hand since Vassal won't let me, so I won't submit a file now. In case Berkut does submit his, game can continue since my actions don't depend on it.

1. Purchase Shah's Guard for 0, take 1 rupee on it.
2. Play Shah's Guard (to the right of Fath Ali Shah), place 1 Russian army in Persia (take cylinder from Kandahar-Punjab road), place 1 purple spy on the card due to Informant.
3. (free from Fath Ali Shah) Tax in Persia, take 2 rupees from British Persian Trade in the market. Can tax there because I have 3 units (2 Russian armies and 1 tribe) which is more than 2 Afghan armies.
4. (free from Shah's Guard) Tax in Persia, take 1 rupee from Jean-Francois Allard in the market.

Alarmed by the news of assassination of the Khan of Khiva, Fath Ali Shah has his Guard stay close to him day and night. To pay the soldiers, tariffs and tolls are extracted from British merchants and European travellers alike.

Habs can make those changes in his file before playing his turn.

I saved the game, and I can see the save file in the DB folder on my machine.

I am at a loss as to why nobody else can...

I uploaded Berkut's file from my end.  Should be visible now.

Will do mine and Solmyr's turn here in a while.

Solmyr, there should not have been a Kandahar-Punjab road during your turn thanks to Tamas moving it during his own.

Which cylinder did you wish to shift around in order to place the new Russian army?

Berkut, in cleaning things up, it looks like you claimed the reward for assassinating my card.  If you do that, however, you will be forced to switch loyalties to Britain.

Did you want to go ahead and do the assassination and not switch loyalties?
