Is the combat system real-time? Is melee combat performed in the first-person as well?
Combat is all real time and action based, however there is also the twist that units will have spells and abilities that function more like what you’d see in an MMORPG. Some classes will focus more on combat, while other will focus more on providing a support role and using the RPGish abilities, so you can choose whatever fits your playing style. Melee combat is performanced from third person view.
