knuckle-cracker: wimp consiering purchasing

Crikey, you spend nearly 10 minutes per map playing in pause mode? I do use pause mode here and there - especially at the beginning of maps for strategic play, but I doubt I actually play a map for more than a minute in pause mode.

Still! A lot of it depends on the kind of player you are. I've seen that Octan has been a difficult level for some people, yet I breezed through it first time. All about the strategy I guess!

Many maps would'nt been play or finnished if it was'nt for the pause button .
So that button might be 1 of the reasons of the popularity of this game =P

Good for you. I have found that making decisions, building units and placing them while paused shaves my time substantially.

I use pause for building too - mostly at the beginning - but maybe a minute or so per map.

depends on the layout of the map. one or two kinda require it, else they're inhuman.

Use of the pause button also depends on your playing style. When I just like to play I only use it 1-2 times in the beginning, but when I try to set a highscore, the time I pause is probably equal to the time the game runs.
