Well, this game is a match-3 style game so you get to play with all 5 factions. There are no playable characters or enemies as per se, you can be playing Sylvan one act and the necro the next, fighting against the sylvan. Your main character doesn't appear in battle.
You get a sprite to walk around on the backgrounds but these don't have too much going, just the hero walking left and right, there are plenty of sprites that are for the map and these are called adventure mode sprites.
There is also battle mode, in this you get to play as and fight against all 5 factions, so you can't call a faction the playable one. The sprites I branded above as "battle sprites" is because these are, well, the sprites for battle mode.
Then are the backgrounds, as you see there are backgrounds and battle backgrounds, each background has a corresponding battle background, so Sylvan Area 1 background uses the Sylvan Area battle background 1. There are roughly 10 backgrounds per faction area, with it's corresponding battle backgrounds.
There are many things to sort around, but if I can take a guess I would sort it something like this:
*Adventure sprites
**Haven't uploaded any of these, these are just characters running left and right, or npcs. I don't think it's worth separating npcs from pcs since they have got pretty much the same animations and corresponding portraits.
*Battle sprites
(there are 8 different unit types per faction, as well as the common FX sheet, this sheet means that those particles are common to all units within that faction, faction walls and charging animations are in here)
**Sylvan battle sprites
**Inferno battle sprites
**Academy battle sprites
**Necro battle sprites
**Haven battle sprites
**Bosses
**Special or misc (there are many special battles and also particle FX common to all factions)
*Backgrounds
**Adventure Backgrounds
***Sylvan
***Inferno
***Academy
***Necro
***Haven
**Battle Backgrounds
***Sylvan
***Inferno
***Academy
***Necro
***Haven
*Portraits
*Misc Stuff
**I would throw here random stuff and the huds.
I hope I managed to make myself clear. I will try to not upload anything incomplete from now on, it's just that backgrounds are a bit boring due to their big size so my comp takes a bit of time saving the files. Next I will upload Haven faction battle sprites and complete the sylvan battle backgrounds, plus some more portraits (I love portraits).
