The second Elven Legacy developer diary entry.
The entry, written by Max Bodrikov, the Elven Legacy lead game designer from Ino-Co, examines the use of banners in the upcoming PC title. Max writes, “In our case, a banner is a symbol which looks like a real battle standard, but also displays useful information. First of all, it indicates the color of the army. This is especially important in multiplayer, where similar units on opposing sides can fight on the same battlefield. The banner also displays the actions a unit can take during a turn. The units can move and attack, in any order. On the banner, these options are shown as a sword and a boot. If the unit moves, the boot disappears; if it unit attacks, then the sword disappears. The symbols are highly visible, and the player can understand the potential of their army in no time.”
