Hey all, while we appreciate that there are many players that would like to have active pause implemented, this is not being planned, as it would require a major rework in the way Anno and its engine work. Right now, pause freezes the entire game and any game functionality and logic required to do stuff. Decoupling that would necessitate for a lot of things to be reworked, which is outside the scope of our post-launch plans.
