What to study

The whole Orders economy on one screen, and the design lesson is stacking: Old World's map HUD keeps four different time horizons visible at once, this turn (the Scout's Heal / Force March card and the NEXT UNIT button), this reign (the resource ledger with a per-turn delta under every stock), this generation (the COURT MEMBERS roster, where succession is literally the second group down, heirs numbered 1 and 2 in red crown badges), and the whole game (YEAR 26 / 200 with the 72-point victory race listed by nation). Nothing essential hides behind a tab; even the Ambitions tracker shows its fraction (120/400 Wood) rather than a percentage. The court panel does the character work with two trait words per person, Bold | Greedy, Cruel | Pathfinder, enough to remember who someone is without opening their sheet. Frame at about 0:20 in the Announcement Trailer (Steam), a scene-change survivor (v0_0008 at 20.15s) inspected at full resolution in this prep.

• top centre, a production banner intrudes on the map instead of a side queue: FREE HOPLITE with a purple 4y progress bar and a small portrait

• under the leader portraits at top right, AMBITIONS (0/10) as a two-line tracker: Enact Epics / Philip the Intrepid's Legacy: 17y at 0/1, and Produce 400 Wood at 120/400
• left, the selected SCOUT unit card (Heal; Force March 100) over the leader card for ALEXANDER THE NEW, laurel portrait, two large numbers (17 +21 and 67 under a crown), a six-icon action strip and a full-width NEXT UNIT button; bottom centre a seven-button dock; bottom right the tile tooltip LUSH / FLAT / CLEAR (Vs.
