Asset Backlog
This backlog tracks sequential visual asset expansion for story images, portraits, and unit sheets. Counts are refreshed at the start of each batch, then the batch is generated, connected, validated, built, flow-tested, committed, and pushed.
Current Baseline
- Story images: 114 files after Batch 9.
- Portraits: 59 files after Batch 9.
- Unit sheets: 162 files, 81 complete base/action design pairs after Batch 9.
- Target direction:
- Story: about 5 images per major campaign chapter across 65 campaign stages.
- Portraits: one portrait for every important
scenario.tsspeaker. - Units: 100+ complete unit designs, each with a base 4x4 sheet and an actions 4x4 sheet.
Batch 1 Priority
Status: complete and ready for build/flow verification.

Batch 3 Priority
Status: complete and ready for build/flow verification.
The early-game unit sheets should be remastered because the newer generated units have a stronger silhouette, cleaner 4x4 framing, and better action readability. Keep the existing texture keys so code paths and saved scenarios continue to work.

Remaining Portraits
- None. All currently mapped named speakers have portrait coverage after Batch 4.
Batch 4 Priority
Status: complete. Image dimensions, unit base/action pairs, pnpm build, and pnpm verify:flow passed.
This batch finishes the named-speaker portrait backlog, adds portrait variants that are actually selected in story scenes, and continues expanding high-repeat story backgrounds and class/faction unit variety.

pnpm build, and pnpm verify:flow passed. Code connection uses the existing
story, portrait, and unit variant discovery paths.

regenerated once for clearer character differentiation. Code connection uses the
existing story, portrait, and unit variant discovery paths.
This batch expands mid-campaign and late northern-campaign story backgrounds, adds campaign variants for supporting speakers, and improves the lowest-count unit families.

Batch 7 Priority
Status: complete. Visual contact sheets, image dimensions, unit base/action pairs,
pnpm build, and pnpm verify:flow passed.
This batch keeps pressure on the highest-repeat story backgrounds, adds campaign variants for mid-campaign supporting officers, and moves the unit design count toward the 100+ complete-pair target.

Batch 9 Priority
Status: complete. Visual contact sheets, image dimensions, unit base/action pairs,
auto-connection checks, pnpm build, and pnpm verify:flow passed.
This batch thickens late-campaign and northern-expedition story keys that still had one or two variants, adds situational portrait variants for the core Shu heroes, and lifts several low-count unit families to at least three complete design pairs.

Early Unit Remaster V2
Status: complete. Visual contact sheet, image dimensions, alpha transparency,
pnpm build, and pnpm verify:flow passed.
This pass replaces the early Yellow Turban campaign unit sheets in place, keeping the same texture keys so existing battles and saves continue to load the updated art without code changes. The goal is to bring the first-stage Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Yellow Turban enemy sheets up to the stronger silhouette and cleaner sprite-sheet quality of the newer unit batches.
