Various abilities, particularly highly physical ones or powerful magic, can require stamina to execute. They are shown with a different background color.
Asharena specific:
PHASE0-1: Purely functional gameplay testing
**
‘Gameplay testing demo’: A pretty much conceptual functional game to test for mock balancing (not fully accruate), and the controls/interface will suck and using temporary abstractions at the moment. But to introduce the classes, maps and all.
*
‘Pre-Gameplay testing demo’: Removed numeric fire mode selection.
PHASE1: Core Mechanics/feel/ux aesthetics of BlitzArena combat system and Asharena
‘Prototype Game demo’: A functioning game that visually looks convincing and immersive for both singleplayer and multiplayer.
PHASE2: Game-specific features and advanced mechanics
‘Full Game demo’: A game with added features to add depth to current strategy.

Phase 1: A fully playable/fairly presentable Combat prototype to test mechanics
Selected Asharena/Divinity skills implementations from Level 1-4. EVery unit is base LEvel 4, with fixed/customisable stats for the level 4 characters.
Basically, same mechanics as what we have currently with some changes:
Weapon can only be switched BEFORE turn starts. Each weapon can have an assosiated set of action abilities to go along with it from any category. Using the action ability usually involves a more powerful attack, but may have stamina and time caps and such.
Sprinting will use stamina. Some abilities require stamina. Stamina replenishes up to 1/3 per new phase.
When zoom in to target mode, all usable action abilities in that situation are shown in a numeric list. Using the number in target mode will trigger the action ability. Using numeric keys or cycling through available abilities in non-target mode, will reserve the appropiate movement points for that ability and priotize that ability to be easily used via the “F” key while in target mode.
Any abilities that lack the remainig required stamina or time points are ghosted away and cannot be selected.
Circle marker to act as rough indicator in determining avilable movement distance to conduct any given action.
In the event the selected ability cannot be used, no shortcut “F” fire key is provided.
