Blitzes are a great place for new players to learn the game. While combat does not frequently happen in these games, it still provides a great environment in which to learn how to manage your economy, built your military, and generally understand the basics of Empire.
You can also invite your friends in to play. There is normally no "sign up" for Blitzes, you just log in and play. If others are playing too, then you might get involved in some heavy combat.
Blitzes can be very intense. You should not worry so much about being prepared for every update, as in some games those updates happen every ten minutes! Instead, concentrate on building up your economy piece by piece. Also keep in mind that blitzes generally do not require you to feed your people.
