What to study

The battle before it starts: the event log names the phase ('Preparation Phase, Turn 1 of Round 1') instead of leaving the player to guess, and the victory card carries two conditions rather than one, including a named-target condition ('Incapacitate Decimus before he escapes') that turns the fight into a chase as well as a rout. Unit bars show health and morale together, so both ways a soldier can leave the fight are visible at a glance. Frame at about 1:10 in the Gameplay Trailer (Steam).
