Endless Mode needs pause phases

[Oachkatzl]

I can't really enjoy endless because I have literally no time to re-organize my traps or adapt my strategy, because how am I supposed to sell traps in 3 seconds between waves? I can't even get to my traps in 3 seconds.

I'd like to see a "Press G to unleash horde" after every 5 waves or so, I can't even have a toilet break or get something to drink in endless co-cop man because you can't pause and it's constant bombardment.

Thats what ive wanted since OMD 1. Maybe one day our dream will come true

Nope.. Just build optimal killbox.

You have that for like the first 20 waves or so, so you should not be having to rearrange/delete traps after that point.

And you can make this decision for me based on?

Thanks. I just bought the game last week. I totally know the optimal killbox for every level.

Very Good. As a new player you should always learn all kill boxes before buying any OMD game :D

Then play and figure it out, endless isn't a sand box mode it's a mode where the game cheats harder every round until the orcs break through.

Honestly, I find that I tend to need a bathroom break after drinking coffee and playing endless after about two hours. Maybe it doesn't have to be every five levels, but a few breaks as it goes on would really help with things like that.

Plus, there are definitely traps that work great for the first twenty or so levels but give you diminishing returns around round 30. Anything with a long trigger time, for example, and the super-speed orcs can just run over it without taking any damage while the spike traps and dart spinners harmlessly trigger behind them. It would really be nice to be able to optimize as the game goes on.

Also, my dude, what does it really hurt to add in a breather break every five/seven levels? I know there are some aspects of the game with difficult coding limits and other technical magic (war scenarios not having endless, for one,) but this seems like a super easy fix with zero real negative or technical repercussions...

If you need a real life break then just pause the game with the esc key.

[TimeMaster]

In case of interest, there is a mod that does exactly that.

In OMD 2 you could pause the game to go for toilet breaks etc, not sure why it wasn't put in this title. (In co-op, you can pause in SP)
Other than that, you just have to work with the time. The game goes into rift lord mode around wave 15, from that point on, let your last enemies linger and be in position to rearrange any traps you need to. Ideally you learn a set up that works for you so you dont have to adjust though.

You do know you can press 'esc' and pause the game at any time, right?

Not in co-op

It was specialy made for NOT TO DO THIS. There is no a point of endless mode, if you can remake your defence each time. Btw - pro tip - if you need "re-organize" your traps, it's mean you do something completely wrong.

There is pause until certain waves.
