↑ MegaGlest's implementation only allows for the unit ID to be passed, GAE's allows unit ID and whether or not to make it clean (display the dead body).
↑ MegaGlest support both: getPlayerName() and playerName(), GAE supports only playerName().
↑ While MegaGlest's giveAttackStoppedCommand() function is able to issue attack stopped commands like giveStopCommand() can, only giveStopCommand() is able to give a regular stop command, as well.
↑ Other engines can specify to move to a unit by using unitPosition(), but they'll move directly to the location, whereas moveToUnit() moves to current location of the unit until it is reached.
