Manual Pausing
« Topic Start: February 03, 2012, 08:22:02 PM »
Wanted to check something quickly guys.. had to pause one of my nobles due to donation running out and not being able to reactivate it. On the wiki, it states that you do not lose any gold on hand provided you are not pausing whilst in prison. And yet all of my gold on hand - not in bonds - was taken from me. Which was about 100 gold or so.

As for my unit, whilst I understand that it may be partially converted to a militia unit, the entire unit was disbanded and was not converted to militia at all in the region I'm in right now (which is Bruck, on EC).

What I'm wondering is whether pausing for only a day compared to say a few days has caused this, or whether the rules on what happens when pausing manually have changed compared to what the wiki states. The character in question is Viktor on EC.

The wiki is probably outdated. Check when that page was last changed.

We should really revisit pausing, either right after the Doctrine conversion or possibly even as we're converting it. The inconsistencies and silly behaviour in it are a bit out of hand.

I went over the mechanics of pausing with someone (Anaris or squirrel, I forget who), and we made sure that at the time that was last written, the wiki matched the code. I'm surprised that it doesn't match... :(

28th December 2009 was the last update according to the history, with none other than Indirik making it. So given what you guys have said, especially about the wiki and code matching, do you want me to file a bug report on this one? Might have to chalk my losses up to experience on this one, but c'est la vie.
