That's very good info. Thanks. So, we're not going to know what the enemy's formations look like (usually) until after the battle itself?

Also, let's talk about the Kingdoms. Malaph Kar looks like a place where monsters aren't KoS. What about Praeda? The Free Cities of Maleah? I'm willing to wager that Malaph Kar and MAYBE Praeda are the only places monsters can chill before their reputation goes high.

Finally, I noticed ogres mentioned in Malaph Kar. Are those enemy-only, or might those be recruitable in a company's very distant future?
