This is kinda fun. I think it would have been fun to just see two AIs battling it out too.
I am really confused about the cursor locking. It looks like the cursor is locked every time the left mouse button is pressed, and released on escape. What is this for? It even locked when I tried to drag the settings window out of the way, and after every setting I selected. It seems like you need to use the left mouse button to control your squads so I just don't get it. Am I seeing some platform-specific (macos) behavior? I did have the mouse get stolen on the web too, but seemingly less often.
