Pointless battle I have put spell casting animations inside game engine I still have to work out damage system but this his how it looks now: I will have to also find a way to differentiate characters fraction.
Battle chaos I have added factions banners to identify characters affiliation. I have also taught them to make some basic movements including wall climbing. Next step I will add pathfinding so they could start making more advanced maneuvers.
