Time

[Lord]

Last night, I paused the game, and it was day time. I left, came back later, unpaused the game, and it was night-time. So it seems like time still goes by in the game if you pause it. If this is true, isn't this just easy cheese for a monk in training? You train to be a monk, take off all your equipment, stand in front of the gates, pause the game, and then come back hours and hours later. If 2 days has gone by, you could be a monk.

That is an interesting observation. Perhaps the game follows the computer's in ternal clock?

Probably. I wonder, if you pause, minimize the game, set your clock ahead an hour, what will happen? I know that once you return to the W&W, all but the little save box or whatever turns black, but there must be a way out of it .

I don't know about you, but minimizing the game (or any other activity that acknowledges that the OS exists) usually wreaks havoc on my setup. I have to do my best to kill the game and start over.

Nope, W&W is not very supportive of the alt-tab behavior...

Bungleau is right. Forget minimizing or windowing this game. It will crash the game and you will need to quit it by means of the task manager. No Alt-Tab, Alt-Esc, or a similar action is possible. Either play the game or quit it.
