Pausing multiplayer?

[Sedai]

I have been showing a friend how to play, he bought the game, and during multi games we would like to pause and talk about strategy etc but the turns just keep clicking by, how can we pause the game? I can't seem to find the command in the manual (which is terrible)

It should be the PauseBreak button located abouve Page Up and to the right of Scrlk

Can't you set the turn timer to none?

That isn't the same as pausing the game. Turning it to none means the game still runs with the humans and AI able to move. Pausing makes it so nothing happens.

I'm confused. Civ is a turn based game. How can the AI move in a new turn when the players haven't advanced the turn?

I've played with the turn timer set to none and didn't notice the AI progressing tho I could be wrong. I too was discussing strategy with a new player and this seemed to work for us. I also had the game set to turn-based instead of simultaneous moves and this may be the difference.

I was mainly talking about playing online with simultaneous movement, not turn based. Sorry for the confusion.

In Conquest PREFERNCES gives you the option of "Always stopping at the end of the turn"
