[Ligma Bababooey]

obviously not in multiplayer but does this game has a tactical pause option in single player ?

Works for me. I don't need to buy this game.

Sadly no, I also like it, but campaign move speed is 30% slower than skirmish or mp, so its not that bad

Thanks for letting me know, easy pass. I'm too old or slow to play games without it.

refunded it already as very lacking the game in features.. i will wait 6m before a purchase to see how it evolves

same, I like to chill with my strategy games, lack of tactical pause is a deal breaker for me, im pretty sure old Dawn of War had a pause where you could make some commands anyway

Yep, DoW still has tactical pause, although it's a bit half-a**ed; assigned to 'Pause' key and cannot be reconfigured and you don't get any feedback until after you un-pause the game. DoW2 had full-fledged tactical pause, but Relic removed it, years after initial release, because "it did not fit their vision for the game". Again, years after release... I wonder if it's got anything to do with I not poking with a stick anything they made since then... Maybe they turn DoW3 into a sidescroller shoot'em-up after a while, who knows?

So, unfortunately I lost interest in this game too. Tough luck, it looked promising.

Damn, there is not a single legit argument against tactical pause in single player, for the one that don't like it there should be on/off option is settings

Never understood strategy that lack this feature in single player.

It's like their purposefully want to reduce their potential costumers, with zero tradeoff to compensate for that.

Turn based is my preferred game play style but i have found WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR REALMS OF RUINS very comfortable due to the speed units move and combat pacing. If you use everything at your disposal such as the celestian power which allows you to scan an area before arriving there you will have an idea of what you will be facing and prepare accordingly.

Nice to know, but the problem with that is even if you manage initially, there will come the time where it's just too much. In DoW2, after they removed tactical pause, I just quit from my 3rd playthrough, because when I got to the boss in the ancient arena in the jungle, I got tired of trying to order 4 units around to keep pressure on the boss while hawking over everyone's healthbar, dodging his AoE attacks and hassling with the incoming adds. Nah, thanks. The last pure RTS I played was Warcraft 3 and even then, I kept playing for the story only, because I did not enjoy it at all.
