ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I'm thinking of using T-Engine4 for resurrecting (with plans for subsequent extension of) some retro 4X games. I don't quickly find answers to two questions:

1) Does the engine support multiple Actors being controlled by a single player? (Obviously fundamental for this use)

and less importantly:

2) Can the isometric grid be displayed in ASCII?

Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry if I've just missed something obvious.

I think the answer to both is Yes*.

*How to do it and how well it works are questionable.

Thanks for the info!
