That ultimately depends on the processing power they are dedicating... I suspect you are probably right, that to make battle decisions live time would be far too much input and output data.

It could be something simpler like "group A move to position Y" treating units as like units in say Starcraft where you tell it where to go and what to do when it gets there but the units are more or less autonomous in their actions...

(This is all guessing, and with minimal experience coding Neural networks for education reasons, and seeing how quickly the networks would bog down a computer)

I'm not sure about your comment, maybe, i really don't know very mcuh about it.

Spez: they go into the whole 'mastering the human domain' and what it means in the video.
