I don't know if I understood this part correctly.
You'd need to have one serial number for every map the server
knows (of course the server should have an own ID-Space...)
If the map changes, this is still the same map and I have
to explore it again (the client will for example show fields
which are older than some timestamp in some color as an option).
What information does this one ID per map give, other than you
can figure out on what map you are? When does this give an
advantage?
Perhaps I understood you wrong... then I'm sorry ;-)
But I would be very happy if you could clearify this to me...

Thanks in advance,
