What to study

Where the siege frame shows the town waiting, this one shows it fighting: beams from the wall towers cut into the horde while the objectives panel reframes the battle as a three-part mission, including a rescue (free Scott the Bloody) and a survival condition on a named character. The resource bar has matured with the campaign (population 386 of a 992 cap, wood over 1800), so the same HUD that read as scarcity on day 3 now reads as a stockpile being spent. The wave timer (02:13) beside the minimap keeps the attack's duration on screen throughout. Frame at about 0:50 in the Gameplay trailer 10.2024 (Steam). Disclosure: a small in-game 0.9.28 dev build watermark is visible in the bottom-left corner; no trailer captions appear on the frame.
