And to say the truth, the UP solution to the overflow gold issue is far from consensual or even being a majority position in some player circles ( like in CFC , where even now it is happening again a heated discussion of the feature, again because of the Pro walls in a thread about how to "fix" Saladin...... :/ People there seem to think that whipping walls to get cash is a part of the Pro trait
). I am not oposed to Dresden solution per se ( in spite of this being a issue , like EF hinted, where the fix will never be consensual unless it cames from the original programmer ), but there is a good group of people that does not think that way. My issue there is that BUG does not need to ( and in fact IMHO shouldn't ) enter in that kind of wars and acepting the UP as a bulk is taking a side in there
This , unfortunately spills to other sides of the UP, as everything is subject to interpetation. For a example, when the description of a game feauture doesn't match what the code does, what does need correction: the description, the code or both? if you see the more heated discussions on possible UP features, the more discussed were situations where it is not clear what is more right: the description or the code ( the missionary gift to theo civs, related to the bad wordiing describing the civic ( atleast compared to what the code really does ) and the patrol function ( aka can of worms ) ). Most of the other features of the patch , fortunately are clear bug fixes, but not all ( like in the forest code in start BFC beautifying, that had his share of discussion in Bh patch thread, with 3 or 4 alternative code fixes sugestions, all with diferent philosophies behind )
Unfortunately, making all features disable-able (
) would be extremely taxing for the game performance, so a compromise has to be acheived.....
