What to study

Diplomacy staged as a seating plan: the faction screen does not abstract its politicians into a list but seats them at the table and floats their numbers over their heads, so the Religious bloc's 80% standing belongs to the nun at the right of the table. The three-line card grammar (standing, supporters, radicalisation split) makes six factions comparable at a glance, and the fanatic column is the warning light - the Militarists' 8 fanatics out of 42 supporters is a coup in embryo. Frame at about 2:04 in the Gameplay Trailer (Steam), a scene-change survivor (v0_0046 at 124.2s) inspected at full resolution in this run; Work in progress watermark disclosed in the elements.

Screen inventory

• the scene is a council chamber: six faction leaders seated at a long table - flower-crowned Religious hippie, blue-ponytailed Intellectual, bereted Communist, medalled Militarist general, a nun for the Religious bloc and a suited Capitalist - flags and wine glasses before each
• over them, six parchment cards in the same 3-over-3 grid, one per faction with its heraldic icon and colour: Communists standing 32%, 31 supporters, 16/13/2; Militarists 56%, 42, 23/11/8; Religious 80%, 38, 20/9/9; Intellectuals 28%, 43, 28/8/7; Environmentalists 13%, 21, 13/4/4; Capitalists 20%, 29, 18/6/5
• each card carries the same three lines - Standing of the Faction, Supporters, Moderate / Loyal / Fanatic - so six political relationships compare in one scan; the Intellectuals' paradox is visible without a click (most supporters, second-worst standing)
