For me, if I ever hear "card-based" or "soulslike" I have absolutely no desire to play a game, no matter how many people reccomend it.

I'm also not a huge fan of modern "roguelikes" but I've sunk days into nethack and games like that.

        Most paradox games, dune spice wars, relic games usually do... Honestly, it's almost only the C&C/warcraft/aoe trad rts ones that don't.

      the new Wargame RTS (WARNO) lets you pause and command FINALLY i felt left out of the only cold war pure combat RTS

      only problem is EA and single player is still lacking

      also not sure if fully paused but everything is so slow it's effectively paused

        If you haven't played it yet try Steel Division II, which is the WW2 game that came out before WARNO and has multiple full-size campaigns.
