Using the time dial: pause, queue and fast-forward

The time dial is Bastion Isles’ signature control.

Pause to plan

When time is paused you can still select units and give orders. Nothing moves until you press play.

Queue up to three waypoints

Turn on Queue, then tap three places. Units walk a route: out, around, in. This is how you flank.

Fast-forward the quiet parts

While you wait for gold, use fast speed. Slow down again when the first contact is near.

Rhythm

Pause, think, queue, play. A few seconds of planning at the right moment beats frantic tapping.
