Interest In multiplayer games with planned pauses?

Postby bigcrap757 » 01 Jul 2017, 00:41

One thing I've always wanted when playing this game is to have more time to make plans. The fact that its real time limits a lot of the strategy since most people just cant process all the information they're receiving. If you've ever had to manage more than one main base you know that often times you end up ignoring one of them because it require too much attention and too many clicks. Also, things like aerial landings with transports and fights on multiple fronts can't really happen because of how quick you need to act.

To test my solution to this problem, I want to host a game that has periodic short pauses to allow players to think more clearly and develop complex plans. The idea I have in mind is to have a three minute pause every ten minutes, which should be enough time to make some new strats viable. My question is: does anyone actually want this? I know that a lot of the pros aren't gonna like this idea as it completely changes the game and alters what skills are necessary to be good. I'm interested to hear what you guys think of my idea and if any of you would be willing to try it with me.

have you tried the mod that lets you be several controlling one army. you can be up to 8 versus 8 but only two coms on the map. it's amazing in that you can mirco every little bit and have plenty of time to do so since everyone is taking care of something.
