If I have to use pause repeatedly to use tactics (and I do)...then the game is running much too fast. Stopping the action every few seconds saps much of the fun out of it. STW and MTW battles were more entertaining for me. With MTW I would pause some battles a few times to get initial arrangements, deal with forest unit placement, etc, but I let the battles run in real time for the most part. RTW battles look better, but it all happens so fast I don't get to watch them, so much of the eye candy is lost on me.
