comment Can you use a struct instead of an array to hold vertices in directx?
Yes it can. I'd advise learning more about programming simple things before trying to program complex things like games.

comment Decal implementation
When drawing decals, you could always set the depth buffer comparison function to less-than-or-equal rather than less-than so decals are always drawn just on top of the surface they are affecting.

comment Alternates to scratch damage to solve combat deadlocking
I was going to suggest giving every weapon bludgeoning damage that cannot be blocked by armor. Swords and daggers would have small bludgeoning capacity, but axes and maces would be very effective.

+1. Tiles should not be shoehorned into an ECS.

comment A* path finding for road network - data structure to represent directivity
Not really. If each node contains its position, the algorithm should easily be able to calculate the distance between two adjacent nodes. However, if the cost is non-trivial, such as terrain cost, that should be stored in each node or in dedicated edge structures.
