Do I miss something or is there no real auto-pause function?

[XShadowY]

I really liked the many options you had for an automated pause in the older games and I tended to switch it on for almost every message.

I noticed that there is a function to pause while opening a tab, but what about really important incidents?

Several times now I fell victim to an invasion which was neither announced nor did the game point me in the direction of where it happened. Or a land attack on my home borders...

For instance, I played with germany, focused on the northern part of the map and suddenly realized that France had completely taken over northern italy, austria, yugoslavia... and was at the doorstep of munich.

I mean, it would be really helpful to get at least a heads up that they are storming your home borders.

Okay, there`s an "invasion" icon, but whenever I clicked on it there was nothing happening there at the moment, or a while later.

Really wish there would be more pause options like before.

Or am I missing something?

No such thing exist. Game does not provide you with proper autopause, nor it provide any options to modify it.

Deal with it.

That`s really a pity. Thanks for your answer!

When you complete a research or national focus, and click 'explain', the game will pause. It will also pause for some event text. Otherwise, no pausing.

MP games only pause or slow down when the host does it or when someone's lagging. Otherwise it's always running at some set speed. And MP is pretty fun. so you might play SP similarly to get a feel for it. OTOH, right now, a lot of information is lost if you don't catch it live. They need to take the naval system of battle reports and spread it around.
