Given the atmosphere of the actual game and the persistent element, there should be plenty of room for RP. Even if there isn't, it looks pretty good in terms of meta-RP, like roleplaying alongside playing the game as the mechanics allow.
And given the nature of the macro-scale of the game, if it ends up looking like Total War, with a world map and a battle sequence both being part of the game, then on the world map you'd absolutely be able to take your time and RP to your heart's content.
