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.
