• spawnTerrain() // spawns background for combat as terrain
• spawnPlayer() // spawns player by retrieving selected player from PlayerFactory and spawning/positining it

private final CombatArea gameArea;
public CombatScreen(GdxGame game, Screen screen, ServiceContainer container, Entity player, Entity enemy) {
   ...
   this.gameArea = new CombatArea(player, enemy, game, combatTerrainFactory); // initialise game area, with entities
   gameArea.create();
}
