The placeholder era is ending and I can't wait till we can do the full reveal when it's all finished!

Following up on the v0.1 design — why tags instead of a damage triangle?

Every weapon carries a damage type and delivery method. Every armor carries a tag. The system looks up the relationship and returns a multiplier.

New weapon type = new data entry, not new code.

Designing Veilkeeper's combat core — v0.1 is deliberately small.

Three unit types on an 8x8 grid. No abilities yet. Just tags, positioning, and composition.

If the tactics don't work here, nothing built on top of it will.
