+The enemies need AI scripts
+The scripts need to be able to generate other enemies (frog king).
+The characters need a flag to show if they're in a combat instance or not, to signify of they should be unloaded client-side
+On each game loop, the server should envoke each combat instance's update function
+	Each combat instance invokes each enemy's and character's update functions
+		These update functions increase the ATB guagues
+		if an ATB guage is full
+			than the stored command is executed
+			the players issue their commands during the build up
+			if there isn't a command ready, then the player is still choosing
+			for the enemies, the stored commands are driven by scripts, so when the enemies need to attack, their attached scripts are called.
+		after the commands are called, the ATB is reset to 0.
