Thanks!

* The "Should you wing it?" message during the first fight has been completely rewritten.
** It now says: This is a good chance to experiment.
*** This fight is a teaching exercise that allows you to experiment and learn what a few of your options are. The next fight you encounter won't be nearly so chaotic.
*** Both you and the humans can field large numbers of replacement units rapidly in this fight, so this is a perfect time to test cause-and-effect without worrying about longer-term consequences.
*** The most important tip is to always examine enemy units with unfamiliar icons to see what their goals are. For example, stopping investigators is the only thing that matters for winning this fight.
** People were routinely putting way too much pressure on themselves in this first fight, and also were prioritizing trying to do things right rather than trying to test cause and effect.
