Real-time fight with steering one char, okay. But I have to admit I don't like the idea of having to pause the game every couple of instants to give commands...
I obviously have one char as primary char, the one I generate myself. Is it possible to actually only steer that one and giving all the others default-actions (like casting fireballs, attacking with sword, etc.) which they then will faithfully perform in every fight (until their mana is out, I change that default-action or similar)?
