Game Speed

Post by Adebar »

Simple question: Can the game speed be modified? - I'm asking because even at 60 % I've got the feeling that the units are racing across the map, and less that 60 % speed is not possible in the settings.

With my impression I might be in a minority here, but I'm a rather lazy guy who likes it nice and slow. :wink:

Hmm, there may be a tweak to alter the range of values. I will ask Pip.

Good call Adebar. The action takes place too fast in the opponents turn for me to fully absorb what's going on. A pause button would ne nice too.

Miss this too, especially when the phone rings or the tea water is boiling over in the middle of the AI turn ...

A pause button in a turn based game? You've got to be kidding!

Not really, to take stock of individual combats would nice. After all, the dice throwing can be paused on the table top :)

Having options for lower game speeds would be good. :D

Didn't have to be a real pause button. Would be happy with a simple "Push Esc" function (or something similar) to temporarily interrupt the AI turn. Which can be quite long in larger scenarios.

Agreed, why stop at 60%? Unless it's to do with the game engine.

Another vote for selectable slower speed. What's the rush?

Just getting started with this and would like to absorb, more easily, what is going on.

Yes, I would definitely like slower speed, and it would be handy to pause the enemy at times.

Hello Pip! Since you're present ATM: Is slower game speed possible?

It would require code changes to alter the game speed values. I will add it to the wishlist.

Cheers
