What to study

PHARAOH's battle HUD is the classic Total War command bar restyled in gold and lapis: the balance bar up top names both commanders and the clock, the minimap anchors the right, and the bottom row turns each unit into a card with a live headcount. The Zzz marks on several cards are the detail to study: exhaustion is readable on the card itself, without opening any panel, so the player can see which units are spent while still watching the field. Frame at about 1:49 in the Ramesses gameplay video (Steam). Trailer burn-in: a faint 'DEVELOPMENT IN PROGRESS' watermark sits top left; it is pre-release video text, not game UI.
