CellView gains FlashTransform: bright copper pulse + brief scale punch
(0.45s) on CargoConvertedEvent, distinct from the warmer golden
FlashProduce used by productions. EventAnimator routes transformer
conversions through the new phase so the flash reads as a conversion
moment rather than a second production tick.
PieceView picks up cargo colors for Tools (copper), Arms (deep red),
and Gold, matching the cargo-slide particle palette — pieces carrying
those transformed cargoes now render the correct indicator instead of
defaulting to white.
TrajectView now draws an arrow at each endpoint (since pieces oscillate
between start and end, both directions are relevant) and runs a looped
width/alpha tween that breathes between 0.3 and 0.75 over ~2.2s. The
pulse makes stationary relays visually distinct from static board art
without competing with active cargo/particle animations.
Dame (Queen):
- Moves 1-2 cells in all 8 directions (orthogonal + diagonal)
- Social status 7 (highest — priority over all other pieces)
- Deep burgundy color, letter "D"
- Rare and powerful, forces strategic placement choices
Levels:
- Level 7 "La Dame Blanche": 10x10, walled arena with central fortress,
1 queen available as a logistics superweapon
- Level 8 "Le Grand Reseau": 12x10, 4 productions + 4 demands,
two vertical wall corridors, 2 queens, full network challenge
GDD updated with Dame section and status hierarchy.

- Pion (Pawn): orthogonal range 1, social status 1 (lowest), green color
- All existing levels get surplus stock including pawns for player choice
- Level 4 "Le Carrefour": 8x8, dual cargo diagonal routes, center wall block
- Level 5 "Le Labyrinthe": 8x6, wall corridors, knights essential for shortcuts
- Level 6 "Trois Royaumes": 10x8, 3 productions + 3 demands, full network puzzle
- Production interval concept removed (all produce every turn)
- GDD updated with Pion section and 6 level descriptions

- New turn order: produce -> transfer -> move -> collision resolution
- Collisions now destroy weaker pieces (status > level > mutual destruction)
instead of halting the simulation. SimPhase.Collision removed.
- Add piece Level property (all level 1 in proto, prepared for future)
- Production fires every turn (interval concept removed), buffer = Amount
(default 1, future 2-4), leftovers overwritten each turn
- Transfer tiebreaker: status > level > clockwise direction (alternating
even/odd turns in y-up coords), replaces distance-to-production
- Demands always accept matching cargo even when already satisfied
- TurnNumber added to all turn events for animation grouping
- Simultaneous animations: produce flash, cargo slide, parallel piece moves
- Camera centering fix + middle-click pan
- GDD updated with new rules + lore section added
