Pausing (and saving) a game in multiplayer

Age of Empires IV IV - Discussion

I’m curious if pausing and saving a game is going to be a option in the near future.

I also have an idea (so read with me creators): when starting a multiplayer game, ad a wink which needs to be set on or off if you would like to start a game which allows players to pause (and / or save) the game. That way every player knows on forehand if it’s a match which is allowed to be set on pause or to be saved.

Especially for me and my brothers (or people playing with friends) who like to pause a game to get something to drink, eat, go the toilet, answer the phone etc.

Otherwise it’s very uncomfortable starting a game knowing you can’t stop for a minute the coming hours. Takes away a lot of fun for us, while we are playing this game for maybe more then 20 years now.

Yes, please add at least the pause feature!!! Save would be so great too!

I find such option unnecessary. Pause and save should always be available, just like in previous Age games.

I think they should make it an option in custom games.
