When to unpause the AI at the beginning of a phase

[Drakken]

When I start a phase and I find the AI is paused, should I unpause it before acting, or act before unpausing it? Which is the fairest for the player or the AI?

Good question.During the play I also find this problem.You can start the AI then deploy your forces or do the diploymatic phase or anything else.You can also let the AI start after all your deployment.Either is OK.

Do as you wish.

You can act before the AI plans her moves, so giving her some chances to look at you.

Or you can act after the AI has finished.

I think it is meaningless to press the pause button,it a waste of time of that.
As you can see,either is OK.Why not reduce this segment,when you press the turn ,the AI also starts.

You forget the Strictly Turn-Based mode and Army-by-Army activation, where the game works in a much complex way. AI must plan her moves before the "Next Turn" button is pressed. This is not a AGE Engine based game.

During the default play,when my forces are deployed .I must press the Pause button,
the AI starts.After that,I have nothing to do but press the turn.So I think it is a redundance.Will it be possible when you press the turn,the AI starts first ,then turn?Because during this period ,there are no player's input.
