The opening battle's camp and battle-opening dialogue now include a villager route report that frames the castle, village recovery point, lure line, and northern supply cache before combat starts.
The opening battle now uses a dedicated high-resolution Yingchuan battlefield backdrop, clearer generated terrain-cell texture overlays, image-first recovery/supply/tactic tile markers, no text class boxes on units, quieter objective progress text, and a pulled-back enemy line so the player can lure and form up before the first clash.

Pre-battle prep commands use compact icon buttons with active selection state and Korean hover labels for chapters, shop, talks, armory, roster, formation, and save records.

Story, briefing, dialogue, mission-detail, and result scroll/ribbon/binding/bamboo/ink/tassel ornaments use generated seal/panel textures instead of flat color boxes.
Battlefield hover info badges use generated jade panel texture plus terrain, supply, tactic, objective, and threat icons, keeping raw grid coordinates out of visible play text.
Battle, top-toolbar, and pre-battle command buttons now prefer generated high-resolution bronze/parchment icon art under art/ui/icons, wide generated lacquer/jade/cinnabar menu button surfaces, and compact generated bronze/jade icon-button surfaces under art/ui/buttons, with procedural icon drawing and flat button styles kept only as fallbacks.
Battle maps blend generated terrain texture tiles for plains, forests, hills, wasteland, roads, water, villages, and castles over the high-resolution battlefield backdrop, with generated transparent feature overlays for road connections, water, villages, castles, and wasteland accents.
Board unit nameplates and HP bars use generated jade panel surfaces so the high-resolution sprites are not paired with flat black UI strips.
Core UI panels now prefer generated high-resolution lacquer, scroll, jade, and command-seal frame textures under art/ui/panels, with the calmer ink/wood/jade flat styles kept as fallbacks instead of the earlier yellow, hard-edged frame treatment.
Pre-battle Chapters overview shows story-arc progress with map thumbnail rows, compact status badges, hover details, and can open completed or current battles.
Pre-battle Save menu can write and load one manual campaign checkpoint separate from the automatic save, using compact seal-style slot rows and hover checkpoint details.
The title screen exposes Start, Load, and Settings, and Load now lets the player choose between the automatic record and the manual checkpoint.
Victory results show compact generated image chips for gold, items, and officer roster changes, with joined-officer portraits, class crests, Korean join/leave badges, and hover details for the full reward text.
Escort scenarios can include required, non-controllable protected units.
Campaign saves joined officers, future deployments can require prior recruitment, and choices can make officers leave.
Completed saves reconcile officer join/leave rewards on load without replaying gold or items.
Post-battle choices save a scenario-to-choice id ledger for safer future branch migrations.
Reloading during a pending post-battle choice returns to the choice panel instead of skipping the branch.

Godot 4.6 migration readiness can be checked with powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File tools\check_godot46_readiness.ps1. The migration checklist lives in docs/GODOT_4_6_MIGRATION.md.

Direction

The project should grow from a small playable battle into a campaign tactics RPG:

Battle system first.
Scenario and event scripting second.
Progression, equipment, and class depth third.
Portraits, cutscenes, and campaign presentation after the core loop is fun.

The code keeps portraits and other visual assets replaceable so generated original assets can be upgraded without changing battle rules.
