Just saw the stats screen from this game, which brings the question: Why do you need AP when the battles are in real time?

Possibly the time between your turns is dependant on your action points. Fallout Tactics worked that way in real time.
I hope theres an option for turn based (or at least interuptable real time).

Sometimes in Q2, but you know how it is working, when you think is next week - S L I P
@EverythingXen
I didn’t even know you could play in real time. I think I’ve heard there supposed to be an option to switch from one to another mode, but it never occurred to me play in RT.

I've followed Lionheart fairly closely so...
- AP roughly translate to your speed in combat. A higher number of AP means you might complete two attacks instead of just the one in a "round" for example. The FOT analogy is pretty accurate.
- There is definitely no TB option.
- Reflexive are play-testing different RT combat combinations but the desire/intent was to be completely RT. Recently it was decided a limited pause would be implemented for things like inventory access, aimed shots (magic selection?) and so on...so combat is real time with a pause for certain actions only. |

So will I. I much prefer turn based or staggered time combat over real time. Oh well...

I agree with the other turn-based fans. Real-time is okay for single player crpgs, but I like thinking and planning way more than twitching. Turn-based games are getting rarer and rarer.

Turn-based is horrible IMO. Takes too much unnecessary focus and time into combat, gives an feeling of unreality AND is often easily exploitable (Fallout).
Real time ALL the way for me, except for party games... there we need pausable combat.
