Where's a war when you need one

[Stefanos]

Late last night I was playing Brandenburg in an IGC 2.0 game. I had a fairly large alliance [England/Netherlands/Denmark/Prussia] mainly to help me hold off the large neighbors [Poland and Austria] and to nab a province in an opportunistic war should one arise.

In any case, Denmark eventually DoWs Sweden and asks me to come into the war [England and Netherlands dishonor, Prussia DoWs]. Sweden is a pretty big country, so I decide to save the game and think about it a bit.

This morning I decide to DoW Sweden on behalf of my Danish allies. I load the game and discover that the DoW window is gone. I'm not at war with Sweden, and I am still in an alliance with Prussia and Denmark.

I'm still not entirely sure it was a good thing, but it was certainly interesting . . .

The DoW window is one of the many things that are gone after reload. I like this "feature" personally as it helps to keep me away from the save/load cheating. It can be quite temptating sometimes ...

Yes, all event's that happen in the game are NOT saved anywhere in the savefile. Thus if you save and reload before you answer your allies call, you will not get the option to accept.
