What to study

The same deck builder one age later: the Fortress Age pool replaces the Commerce cards with heavier infantry, cavalry and artillery options, while the Beginner deck now holds a single Age II card and a single Age III card. Comparing the two states shows how the age filter re-sorts both the inventory and the deck rows, so each age tier stays legible instead of collapsing into one long list. Frame at about 95.5s in the Swedish Civilization trailer (Steam).
