What to study

Monuments are assembled from parts, and the interface shows all three stages at once: the part grid in the middle, the selected part's detail card (Castle Keep, with Build and Build All) on the right, and the part itself as a grey ghost outline on the hillside where it will stand. The top resource bar stays visible throughout, so the cost question is answered without leaving the build. Frame at about 0:50 in the Release Date and Demo Trailer (Steam).
