Introduce active diplomacy where rival leaders approach the player with
requests, demands, trades, and gifts rather than passively waiting.
New CivilizationDiplomacy.js module handles:
- 9 request kinds (joinWar, breakTreaty, borderUltimatum, demandGold,
demandTech, techTrade, ceasefire, peace, alliance) with initiative
tiers so urgent calls to arms aren't drowned out by filler offers
- Cooldowns per (leader, target, kind) plus a per-leader gap so a
leader can't spam different requests to bypass rate limits
- Frustration grudge (0-100) raised by refusals, decaying each turn
and dragging attitude toward hostility through the ordinary war path
- Escalation: frustrated leaders demand compensation, then renounce
treaties at breaking point, with ordinary hostility finishing the job
- Border ultimatum promises checked when pledges expire (double penalty
for broken word)
- Unprompted gold/tech gifts from leaders with high attitude
- Staleness validation so requests the world invalidated are dropped
- AI-to-AI requests resolve immediately through the same pipeline
UI changes:
- AI requests queued on state.pendingRequests, presented via audience
popup at the start of the human turn (one per turn, configurable)

repainting affected tiles immediately via repaintFromEvents
- Replace diagonal lattice world generation with hash-based jittered grid:
* Shield grassland now uses balanced 2x2 blocks hashed per position to remove
visible screen-space banding while preserving 50% density
* Special resources placed on jittered blocks with adjacency avoidance,
eliminating clumping and barren regions
- Update sprites.md paths and status markers to reflect completed sheets
- Expand verifyCivilization checks for shield density range and special placement
quality (no adjacency, balanced windows, no screen-column alignment)

Restructure Tetris Attack Stage Clear from "clear all target panels" to a
multi-stage round system with a sliding boundary line.
Gameplay changes:
- Each character now has 5 stages instead of a single match
- A CLEAR line appears after a set number of rows rise, then rides the
stack upward; the objective is to clear everything above it
- Clearing a stage advances to the next: same board, faster speed, fresh line
- Stage progress is saved to localStorage; characters unlock sequentially
- Added a stage select screen with progress squares per character
Logic changes:
- Replaced `targetsTotal` with `clearLine` tracking and `countAboveLine`
- Added `advanceStage()` to resume play on the same stack one speed level higher
- Win condition now checks `countAboveLine() === 0` instead of target count
- Removed `target` flag from panels; panels below the line are irrelevant
- Continuous speed ramp via fractional `speed` per stage
UI changes:
- Clear line drawn as a pulsing bar with "◀ CLEAR" label outside the board
- "CLEAR LINE!" announcement on appearance, "STAGE N CLEAR!" banner on win
- HUD shows stage number instead of panel count
- Game over offers "Retry Stage", "Stage Select", or "Menu"
Asset changes:
- Backgrounds renamed to `background-{hero}-r{stage}.png` (5 per character)
- Lazy-load backgrounds per round instead of preloading all 30 images
- Updated tetrisattack.json with `stagesPerRound`, `stageSpeedStep`, and
per-character `clearLineRows`
Tests:
- Rewrote stage clear soak tests for the new mechanic
- Added stage round progression, speed ramp, and board preservation tests
Advance Wars:
- Add HP override system (seed/set/clearHpOverride) so units show correct
HP during enemy-turn replay until their battle animation plays
- Redesign river/road channel rendering with layered depth: rivers get
deep channel, light core, and ripple crests; roads get concrete shoulders,
asphalt, and dashed centre lines phase-locked to tile seams
Tetris Attack:
- Add character sprite sheet and per-host background images (beth, jerry,
michael, steve, victor, klaxon)

(matching Advance Wars' classic HP display), with smooth tweening
- Extract cursor drawing into procedural texture, keeping it independent
of the UI sheet

- Assign battle sounds to each unit type (gunfire, tank, cannon, missile, etc.)
and play the appropriate sound on attack/counterattack in battle animations
- Add per-unit-type movement sounds (march for infantry/mech, engine-fast,
engine-heavy) that loop during move animations and stop cleanly on completion
- Play jump sound during capture animation hops and activation sound on capture
- Play explosion sound when units are defeated in combat or crash
- Lighten unit tint relative to buildings so units remain visually distinct
when standing on captured buildings
- Add new audio assets: battle sounds, march, 8bit-jump, and update battle-tank
Introduce a new battle background spritesheet (advancewars-battlebg) that
displays context-appropriate backdrops behind each fighter during battle
cut-ins. The backdrop is selected based on the terrain/building type the
fighter is standing on (city, base, airport, port, plain, wood, mountain,
sea, reef, shoal, river, bridge, road, hq).

Introduce a breathing pulse effect (red fill + white border) for attack
target tiles to draw the player's eye when in "must pick a target" fire
mode. The previous static tint is preserved for the indirect-range preview
shown while a unit is merely selected.
- showAttackTiles now accepts optional { pulse: true } parameter
- Added tween-based animation with Sine.easeInOut breathing effect
- Properly clean up pulse tween in destroy() and clearOverlays()
- Updated AdvanceWarsGame to pass pulse: true when showing targets
Introduce a cinematic capture animation when a unit captures a property:
a small window shows the capturing unit hopping atop the building, which
then squishes down to reflect remaining capture points (or pops back up
in the new owner's color if the capture completes).
- Add AdvanceWarsCaptureAnim.js with the full cut-in animation sequence
- Display remaining capture-points as a strength number on partially-
captured buildings, tinted toward the owner's color
- Add `before` field to capturing events so the animation knows the
starting HP

during turn replay instead of snapping to end-of-turn positions
- Add depth bias so units always render above buildings on the same tile
- Add new unit sprite sheet (advancewars-units.png/psd)
- Slow down all battle animations for better readability:
- Attack, flash, death, and delay timings increased
- Unit movement animation duration increased (70→180ms)
- Explosion animation slowed down
- Post-turn wait time increased (140→300ms)
- Merge props and units into shared Y-sorted "actors" depth band
- Buildings and units now sort correctly by screen row
- Move/attack overlays remain below actors for proper decal rendering
Implement a full Advance Wars clone with campaign (20 missions) and
War Room skirmish mode. Includes:

with distance from player.
- Enhanced event sounds: item-use, boost, EMP, squash, bump, coin,
star now play appropriate SFX.
- Player kart autopiloted after finishing for victory-lap vignette;
race phase waits for entire field (up to 90s safety cap).
- EMP now emits target list for per-target shrink sounds; squash
collision emits event.
- Animated race results screen with staggered row reveals.
- Animated cup standings with running point counter and position
arrows; tweens rows to new ranks.
- Podium reveal: 3rd → 2nd → 1st staggered with confetti, count-up,
and CRT pulse; winner speech plays.
