Game state globals (partial recovery)#

Provenance from pass 47b, pass 51, and pass 52 rename evidence in LORDS2.EXE.c. Confidence: likely for turn-phase flags and map cell base; confirmed for pass-51/52 session/view/globals.

Player slot (`0x00580bac`)#

Offset (VA)	Symbol	Role
`0x00580bac`	`lotr2_game_local_player_slot`	Local player index (0-based); indexes player records at stride `0x160`; join-handshake payload field

Offset (VA)	Symbol	Role

Value 1 is compared in a few paths (e.g. lotr2_combat_resolve_attack_province_slot) but no direct assignment observed in this export — may be legacy or set indirectly.

Open questions#

Exact semantics of province cell bytes +0, +5, +6 (not written by dat load)
Whether lotr2_game_turn_phase3_ack is strictly turn UI or also the map PL8 draw mode
lotr2_game_active_view == 1 assignment path
Exact semantic meaning of lotr2_net_join_flags and lotr2_net_session_setup_state
Remaining player-record roster flags at 0x55ada4 (pass 57 queue — see lotr2_player_record.md)
