How does the combat system actually work?
The combat system is based on the rules set out by the 2nd edition AD&D Player’s Handbook. BGII:SoA uses these rules and adapts them to the real-time format used in the game. In the game manual, there is a complete rundown explaining all that is needed to know how to play the game. Your characters have a sophisticated AI system (using a scripting language) that will allow them to independently and simultaneously execute your orders. If you wish, you can turn their AIs off and control all of them one by one, in a turn-based mode. This is achieved by pausing the game and then giving orders to each of the PCs you wish. We want the game to be enjoyed by both real-time and turn-based RPG fans.
