+**Theme Terms**
+---------------
+
+Animal Kingdom has customized the display names of keywords and card types. When templates are created, they are created using generic terminology. Your player avatar character is called a "hero" and the characters you place on the board to fight are "units". Animal Kingdom has set the display names of these card types to Kings and Animals as per the theme of this game. However the ids of the card types are still referred to as units and heroes by the program. This allows different games to use the same rules even though they have different themes. You can set display names by going to admin->gameplay and looking at the card types section.
