WTF? No single-player pause button?!

The ability to pause, and by that I mean temporarily stop time in order to take stock of whats going on everywhere on the map and re-assign units, etc, for single-player and single-player campaign is fundamental for AOE and RTS games in general. I used it heavily in all previous versions of AOE. Now there's no pause.

You can't stop, slow down, or speed up time. WTF? This completely changes the game from one of strategy to one of "how-good-are-you-at-keyboard-shortcuts", and "how-fast-can-you-click-and-scroll-around-the-map". This makes the game unplayable in single-player mode or campaign in my opinion. Am I alone here? What could have compelled the devs to remove this fundamental feature? So dumb.
