Pause?

This classic strategy game designed by Philippe Thibaut allows you to take charge of several of nearly 80 playable nations during the tumultuous and war torn period between 350 and 1066. Success hinges on military might but economic and administrative prudence too. To master Europe and beyond every area of statecraft must be mastered first!

Pause?

Post by bstarr »

Please tell me there's a pause button in the game. I can't find it and, I'll be honest, even playing on the slowest speeds I feel like I need to snort coke to keep up with all the details. If I end up in rehab it's y'alls fault.

This seems like a game I'm going to enjoy once I learn it. But I haven't figured it out yet. I managed to disolve both the Eastern and Western Empires in one year. I'm worse than Nero! I think my problem was logistics since my Franks didn't fly of the handle, too.

The "pause/break" button next to your "print screen" button on the keyboard will give you the pause/resume commands. I could not find anything on the game screen to do the same-odd.
BTW, make sure you're "F Lock" is off, otherwise it won't work.

Oh, there it is. Thanks. If it was a snake, it would have bit me.

Now if I can just find that list of Victory Point conditions that's supposed to be in the appendix. (Am I somehow overlooking this as well?)

You know, this really is an outstanding game. I'm curious, though. How well does the AI handle the long term game. I mean, will they eventually push the barbarians to their historic locations or do they just try to stay in place and grow from there?
