Server details

Builds that are installed on game servers:

• Beta: #406
• Crusade: #406
• Grail: #406

Note, that build number will probably never be the same like it is listed on build details, since it is incremented each time when a build is installed, so installing same build (1) to 3 servers will lead that they will have builds 1,2 and 3 installed.
