Conquest Slow down or Pause

[Xeph]

Is there anyway or a mod that allows you to slow the game down or pause it but actually lets you give orders when paused?

No, as far as I'm aware the dynamic conquest campain works on mutiplayer settings like its a standard online mutiplayer skirmish. So it's not possible to add a pause without breaking online aswell. This could be outdated tho.

I agree that would be nice. I am not a great micromanager, so I struggle when alot is going on. I often find units sitting that I forgot about.

That's very unfortunate. Tbh, there's no reason not to have that when you are playing single player, considering. Unless the aim of the game is to be good at micromanagement, not good at tactical stuff.

Because generally speaking a commander should NOT be bothering with telling every guy to
a) Dig a foxhole
b) Get into said foxhole

That's why you have NCOs and Junior COs. But as it's not the case in this game (well, 99% of the games, really) you have to do it by hand. Or they just stand there and take it, without even attempt to take cover, unless told to do so.

It is not outdated. It is exactly the reason. There is a demand for this Pause/Slowdown feature since release. It is not like the Devs don't want to implement, it is not possible because SP Skirmisch and Conquest are runnig on the MP Part of the engine. So no, it will not happen and if ever, then not soon.

You can pause in single player, but you cant issue commands while paused. It was bound to the literal "Pause" key.

Was googling on the same thing and honestly cannot believe they make such a beautifully detailed game, with no option to make orders on pause, or slow the game, against AI... it's brilliance mixed with buffoonery

I was so pumped for this game - getting through the tutorial and stuff

Dynamic Campaign speed is not enjoyable for a casual like me who wants to enjoy the game and take time using tactics

its horrible. A tactic Game which you cant play tactically in MP

In Conquest there is no way to slow the game unless you use third party tools to do it.

I find in the first 3 or 4 battles in conquest I miss the increase speed feature. Yeah the game is a bit slow and I want it to move along faster.

I don't believe Conquest was ever designed as a "single player" game mode. Maybe it has become longer and bigger?

Once you get 3 or 4 call ins and number of enemy units increases I believe the game is then meant to be played by multiple players. As a single player you will struggle to be everywhere and react to everything.

To overcome this issue solo players tend to rush researching "big" tanks and rocket artillery but that isn't really using "tactics".

See this thread for some suggestions because there are some things you can do whilst paused but issuing orders is not one of them.

You can still use tactics you just need to do it in real time. You have another thread about what I would call "time management" and I gave a suggestion in that thread.
