Delaying game for extra gold Options

[Mjolnir88]

What are people's thoughts regarding delaying the game to get extra gold via the warrior and thief strongholds?

Essentially if you have either stronghold you have access to infinite gold as very few quests have deadlines.

In my opinion, killing time intentionally to get extra gold from strongholds is no different than using the AddGold() cheat command to add gold to the party. It's plain cheat. It has been on my ToDo list to block this kind of gold exploit. I hope that I can implement it for v6.

There are two ways for blocking the exploit:

1- The first way is to directly deal with the strongholds and change them not to give extra gold once the total gold reaches a certain amount.

2- The second way is to add limitation to the amount of total gold Cromwell and Cespenar accept for item-upgrades.

The first solution is cleaner and more elegant, while the second solution is probably more effective because it has the additional advantage of blocking the use of direct console cheat using AddGold() command. Extra gold won't be of any use beyond a certain amount.

I'm still thinking about it.
