[General] Are melee units with long range attacks still treated as melee?

For example, if I set a Footman's attack range like this (Weapon Type remains "Normal"), its range text will shown in the game as "Range: 200" and no longer "Range: Melee", but does its attack still count as melee?

Did the test with a 500 range footman and this trigger
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Footman 0000 <gen> is A melee attacker) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Yep
      • Else - Actions
The answer is yep, still melee. I believe it's the weapon type that determines the melee/range category
