Presuming your sprite options were limited, what is the best way to indicate ...
* Whether a unit has moved or not
* What direction a unit is facing
* Team affiliation

Examples of games that use indicators: Battle of Wesnoth and Vandal Hearts (1) (but neither indicate facing) and Galaxy Mage

I came up with a solution that I like and so this can be considered closed.
