 ====== Combat ======
+----
+**Combat** is how the player deals damage to [[:enemies]]. There are two classes of [[:weapons]]: melee and ranged.
+===== Notes =====
+----
+  * LMB to melee.
+  * RMB for a ranged attack.
+  * Shift+LMB to mine a tile.
+  * Attacks can move the player depending on weapon type.
+    * Melee weapons generally thrust the player forwards towards the enemy as they excel in close range situations.
+    * Ranged weapons cause the player to leap backwards away from danger as they excel in long range situations.
+  * Accessibility option to allow shift to be released after mining has started.
+===== Enemy Notes =====
+----
+  * Enemies will have zone indicators on the ground showing where the hit-boxes of their attacks lie.
+  * Enemies can move and then halt while attacking, charge forwards while attacking, pace back and strafe while shooting, switch fighting styles based on distance, etc.
+  * Enemies that fight in groups, such as wolves in packs, will have the oldest enemy in the group tagged as an 'alpha', having pack behavior scripts running off of them.
+    * When an alpha is killed, alpha status instantly transfers to the next-oldest enemy.
+    * When two alphas meet, the pack with the youngest alpha is absorbed into the oldest alpha's pack.
