What to study

The paired opposite of the Bassoire frame: King Stucker demands tribute with the opinion meter swung to Unfavorable (orange), the same diplomacy chrome — portrait, meter, dialogue bar with its check button — now carrying a threat instead of a trade. The full HUD around it (notification feed, minimap with two event timers, the Dragonstone resource panel) makes this the most complete diplomacy-in-context shot. Frame at 1:02 in the AI Kingdoms 3 movie (Steam). Disclosure: the bottom resource row of the Dragonstone panel is clipped mid-row at the frame bottom edge (about 15px, a trailer-frame artifact); the main diplomacy subject is complete.
