# Battle UI Icon HQ Sample v1

Date: 2026-07-03

## Scope

This sample reworks eight battle UI icons into a higher-resolution hand-painted raster direction:

- might
- intelligence
- leadership
- defense
- move
- sword
- spear
- strategy

The atlas frame size was raised from 64px to 128px. Non-sample icons were preserved by upscaling the existing frames so the atlas layout remains compatible while the sample set can be reviewed in-game.

## Verification

- Build: `pnpm build` passed.
- Browser: local PC preview at `http://127.0.0.1:4189/heros_web/?v=hq-icon-sample-local`.
- Console errors: none observed during the battle UI check.
- The eight sample icons are visible in the unit detail and command UI. Individual strategy-list spell icons still use the older style and should be part of the post-approval full icon expansion.

## Quality Notes

- The sample icons use heavier silhouettes, dark outlines, painterly highlights, and material cues for metal, leather, cloth, bamboo, parchment, and armor.
- They are intended to remain readable at 50-80px UI display sizes.
- The current sample intentionally stops at eight icons. The remaining icons should be reworked only after this visual direction is approved.
