What to study
The same battle grammar indoors: the unit banner (9/7, willpower star) floats over its varl, red tiles mark enemies, blue tiles mark allies, and a blue ring marks the active unit, all laid over a hand-painted great hall where bystanders watch from the edges. The interface is only outlines, rings, and one banner, so the painted interior carries the scene. Frame at about 44.7s in the Launch Trailer (Steam). No trailer burn-in or caption on this frame.
