What Addiction Most Plagues You, Next Turn Syndrome or Pausing During the Battle
This one is a toss up. I can't count the days I tried for ONE LAST TURN - then its been 15 turns later and I have to get up in 6 hours.
Then again, there is nothing like the pause button to mass charge the enemies front lines while ordering your horses to hit the flanks and have them execute your orders AT ONCE.
Work, Girlfriend, Responsibilities, Reality, Kids, and MTW - all things in life make life worth living.
Edit October 17th, 2007
Work-Still hate it but I appreciate having it more now.
Girlfriend - ? - looks like I am helping Nga now. Miss sex though.
Responsibilities, Too many bills to too little money
Reality - (Censored)
Kids - My son is improving a little bit each day, still far behind but I may have more kids in the future.
MTW - Kingdoms installed but...Urggg, too soon.
----------------
Conclusion, Life is worth Living now.

Well, I quit the Pause button a few months ago - I was training myself to join the MP ranks, something which I've never got round to
But I now no longer use the pause button - except to answer the phone etc.
But the Next Turn Syndrome...oh man. This one is a killer when its 2230 and you have to be up at 0445 to go to work.....
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

My addiction is 'uninstall after well fought big battle win CTD.'
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

(I'm having some difficulties playing as Novgorod in XL Early at the moment.) It's certainly frustrating in a way, but I like that the AI can still outsmart me, even after I've been playing Medieval all this time.

Since I never use the pause button, I guess its the "one more online battle before bedtime" thingy.

My addiction is playing the turn based game and not botherring conquerring anyone. I conquer a nice snug little kingdom, build a navy and trade network and just amass 100000s of florins and build up my empire and through the decades I'm thinking, should I attack now or wait until I've finnished the next armour upgrade in my men at arms producing provinces, should I attack now or wait until i can produce feudal knights, should i attack now or wait until i have completed 15 fortresses each with master armourers and master bowyers, swordsmiths and spearmakers and my metalsmithing provinces each with the neccesary tech tree buildings and master metalsmith, should i attack now or wait until 1205 and start upgrading all my provinces etc etc...

I've had CTDs happen after epic and really well fought battles that I've given out on MTW until I get a new comp. I mean, it's a slap in the face if you've achieved something great and you get a CTD right after.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

I have all of the afflictions and syndrome mentioned above. All of them.
I can't kick the pause habit, especially with big armies. If I did, I'm sure there'd be masses of souped-up horses getting butchered by spears, coz I left them sitting around while I focused on something else...
Re: What Addiction Most Plagues You, Next Turn Syndrome or Pausing During the Battle
I'm slowly using the pause botton less and less. Not really worried about it, I don't play MP so no big deal.
Re: What Addiction Most Plagues You, Next Turn Syndrome or Pausing During the Battle
me too! I reckon its alright to pause, i mean, if it was a real battle, youd have one of your cronies to keep an eye on stuff, you wouldnt have to dictate it all individually like that
