Load from Save

[unmerged(25223)]

I read something in here that said that Save-And-Reload doesn't leave you in the same position as you were, because some things aren't saved. IIRC, the poster was referring to some event variable.

Does anyone know what it is that isn't being saved?

Not sure what thread you were on, but I know that once I saved and exited just when my allies were asking me to join a war of theirs. I hadn't replied yet and when I reloaded I was not at war, but was still in the alliance and had suffered no stability loss!

I just had that happen to me, Zach, with the Knights. I saved with the call to war dealie still up and had a CTD and reloaded and was warring with the Turko-Polish alliance. Not that I minded fighting those Turks but it surprised me.

Took me forever to figure out just what the hell CTD stood for but I figured it out and just had to use it! :rofl:

The weather can change when you reload as well. Assaults will not continue across a reload, but seige attrition will take place the next day.

Every time any country gets a new monarch that monarchs event file (if any) is loaded as well and put into ram memory.

So that country will experience some pre-programmed random events at set intervals.

But as you learned, this event list is not saved and loading a game does not refresh the 'monarch event list' so any events in the monarchs list that hadn't happened by the save won't happen.

And it isn't saved because.. well, it isn't programmed to be.
