Armour in the desert

honorable bretwalda you make good points, but for me the whole point of the battle is to accept the challenge of managing 16 units without pausing. This, to me, is the game. In order to manage 16 units I have to organize them, group some, put some on auto, micro-manage some, and make the rounds checking in on all of them from time to time, setting priorities.

There is no right or wrong to the 'pause' issue, just preference. The chaos, the confusion, the nick-of-time moves, the pace are what make this the best game.

Most honorable and distinguished ichi, you have already proven yourself a worthy foe and a great commander! I humbly accept your opinion especially since we both want to get the most fun out of the game!

In the beginning I used to use pause a lot, now less and less and most of the time I use when I misclicked and thereby disrupting my formation or moving the wrong unit, etc.

I only said that there are some points that can be said to justify pausing. I think I can play most or all battles without pause and sometimes I do (useful for practicing MP, although I still mainly play SP) I guess it is just preference and of course whatever makes your game feel complete.
