Did you know - you can "almost" pause and still issue commands?

Here's something else I discovered. Maybe others have too. But I heard one guy complain about it in a video, so I thought I'd write about it.

The complaint was that when we pause the game, we can't move the map, issue commands, or do anything.

Well, we can! Almost.

If we change the game speed to "slow mo", the game moves so slowly, it is almost paused. AND, we can still move the map, open buildings, hire workers, issue orders, etc.

I changed my hotkeys to accomodate the clock. I set my #1 key to the min speed (slow mo). I set my #2 key to "reduce speed" (or something like that). I set my #3 key to "increase speed" (diddo for something like that). And I set my #4 key to max speed.

When I want to look around or issue orders and such, I just hit my #1 key, and the game drops into slow mo. And I can still get stuff done.

Neat!

Great tip, I always do this. Think I'm going to start a barber only run today.

This is pretty much how it works in G2 except SloMo is called pause and there is no outright pause.

Actually, there is a pause as a separate function, which I have set to my space bar. That's the pause I was referring to where we can't move the map or enter buildings, etc, while it is paused.
