What to study

The throne-room banner transplanted onto a battlefield, unchanged in form: Triangle Strategy uses one dialogue instrument everywhere, so an enemy commander's pre-battle challenge arrives in the same parchment flag as a king's deathbed speech, the difference is what the flag is pinned over. Here the tail finds Exharme on horseback among his cavalry, the two allied sprites wait at the far corner, and the cobbled field they are about to fight over stays legible under the sentence that starts the war. Story and tactics share one screen space; the conversation is part of reading the field, not an interruption of it. Frame at about 2:20 in the ESRB EN Pre-Purchase video (Steam), a manual probe extraction (probes/P140.png at 140.0s).

Screen inventory

• the same wide octagonal parchment banner, here anchored at the top right of a battlefield, name label 'Exharme' at its top left and the advance chevron at its bottom right
• the banner's tail points down at the speaker in the field: Exharme mounted on a dark horse on a raised rock slab at centre right, ringed by blue-helmeted cavalry
• the line in one serif sentence, complete and settled: 'A battle to prove which of us is more fit to rule Norzelia.'
• the field the words hang over: broken cobbles, grass tufts and dirt in warm light, with two allied sprites standing at bottom left facing the cavalry, deployment geography readable while the enemy talks
