RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Dune: Spice Wars is RTWP

May 3, 2022 - Sloul Des Tucs | 0 Comments

Got a surprise while playing Dune:Spice Wars early access.
The game is RTWP!
I suspect the devs took notice of the active pause requests for Northgard and integrated the feature to their next game.

Here it is guy:

At this time, I cannot vouch for the quality of the game, as I am under less than 30 min play-testing it.
But I would say that my expectations are met.
In my mind this is an upgraded version of Northgard on multiple front; but that's about it.
Players assuming this game is a full fledged RTS àla C&C (or what else) might be disappointed.

As a reminder, Northgard was a sort of slow-paced 4x, that was very comparable to a board game.
Here, on top of the Rtwp addition, you also have an increased number of military units, all with different perks, you also seem to have much more special abilities (not just passive) all around the board (either faction-wise or units-wise).

Bannermen adds tactical pause on popular demand!

Yet another success story for Pause Tacticality, the developpers behind Bannermen, decided to work on a tactical pause for release:

Just found this group in a thread where people are arguing against active pause being added to AOE 4 for some reason.

Love this! Joined today as I love issuing commands and building while games are paused and then unpausing and zooming in to watch battles and such. Also have a young daughter who loves rts type games and needs active pause to keep on most of them.

Blows my mind people argue against Tac Pause and that devs dont put it in games. It changes nothing for those that dont want to use it and makes a huge difference to people like me, or older people, or younger kids or people who might have a handicap that makes keeping up in real time difficult or impossible.
