suggestion - games that pause at predefined time everyday
•
would be possible to have games where at start you can set up times when the game will pause periodicaly every day (example: 00:00AM to 8:00AM or more/less)?
in this predefined times the gametime wouldnt be passing = no progress in game(you still can setup build queues or movements etc)
this would allow normal human beings to sleep / work / study / live while also enjoying this game without the need of being online 24/7 nonstop

That would make it impossible for players from different time zones to play.
Just pull back your units from the front before you go to bed.
Better to lose territory than your army. You can always take it back.
How would players from different time zones play then ?

before you join such game you see the times when the game will be paused (this will be defined at start and not possible to change during the game), same as you see map beforehand... you can easilly pick games that are ok with your timezone, if you dont want to play such map with such rule noone is forcing you, theres hundreds of othe maps with no time pause .... this would be just optional for ppl that dont want to be online 24/7

I suggested this same thing about a month ago. I too lose sleep when I have an active game. I’m lucky enough to have a job that allows me to blatantly multitask during the day.
I had a partner a while back who was good at figuring out what time zone opponents were in and timed attacks to catch them offline. Maybe it was their fault for being in alliances specific to their country. I’ve been very self conscious ever since. Plus I’ve thwarted more than one player by looking at my phone at 3am to see they attacked me in my sleep.
I would definitely play games with this feature exclusively.
