• If you see the above you're in good shape!
• The top right buttons will cycle keyboard control between the selected unit and the one the button's color indicates:
  • Orange: Phalanx
  • Green: Coil
  • Blue: Echelon
  • Red: Random scene monster. (For debugging)

All creatures in the game can be controlled by the keyboard. This is due to the unique data model we've setup where all monsters are just piloted by a dummy controller.
