Idea: Add a pause button when you click on the game speed button, and make a Save and Quit button.

Maybe this task can be put up as a ticket?

This was also my initial thoughts, until I started to focus on the game properly. Every worker, every building, every tree and animal, no matter what you are clicked on at the time, has a pause button. In the centre bottom of your screen is the Icon for what you are currently clicked on, be it building boat or animal. If you right click on that Icon you get an information screen about that object, very handy for working out what your soldiers are capable of.

Opening that information screen pauses the game.

Yes, a lot about this game is different to Age of Empires or Empire Earth or any other similar game you can name. That's what makes this game so good, the devs are following their own ideas instead of just copying someone else. It's not a clone of some other game, it's 0 AD.

Cheers,
