Priority fixes

  1. [composition] Elevate the central commander figure slightly larger or brighter to create a single dominant focal point that reads clearly at tiny thumbnail size.
  2. [contrast_color] Increase the saturation or add a subtle rim light on the leftmost and rightmost figures to prevent silhouette blending at small sizes and in grayscale.
  3. [contrast_color] Slightly darken or desaturate the map background further to push the figures and title forward with stronger value separation against #1b2838.
  4. [title_readability] Ensure the title panel backing extends fully edge-to-edge on smaller crops to prevent the text from sitting on noisy background texture when Steam applies aspect ratio crops.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness] Add a specific sentence contrasting HoI IV's alternate history branching with competitors, such as 'Your choices reshape history—not just through military tactics, but through political and ideological decisions that rewrite the timeline itself.' [hook_strength]
  2. [audience_targeting] Clarify accessibility: add one sentence acknowledging both complexity and support, e.g., 'Whether you are a history enthusiast seeking perfect historical accuracy or a strategy player exploring divergent timelines, Hearts of Iron IV scales to your playstyle.'
  3. [feature_communication] Mention the mod workshop or community features once, as 'Steam Workshop support' is a category tag but entirely absent from the copy and a major long-term value driver.
