Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Increase 'Definitive Edition' subtitle size or weight so it remains legible at 231x87, or consider removing it from the capsule and relying on 'Age of Empires II' alone for small sizes
  2. [contrast_color] Add a subtle dark vignette or gradient behind the lower logo area to ensure consistent text contrast across different monitor calibrations
  3. [composition] Increase the luminance contrast on the side battle panels slightly so they read as active combat scenes rather than warm color blocks at small sizes
  4. [uniqueness_polish] Consider reinforcing the gold frame motif with a slightly stronger drop shadow or glow to further separate the central portrait from the background at tiny size

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [hook_strength] Rewrite the opening line to emphasize a core gameplay verb: e.g., 'Build mighty civilizations across 1,000 years of history. Lead 42 unique nations from feudal villages to imperial powers in campaigns, co-op, and multiplayer battles.'
  2. [feature_communication] Add a sentence or short list explaining core gameplay loops: 'Gather resources, build settlements, advance through ages, research technologies, and command armies to dominate enemies or cooperate with allies.'
  3. [uniqueness] Differentiate the Definitive Edition more explicitly: 'Features complete remastered campaign overhauls, three expansion civilizations, rebuilt multiplayer matchmaking, and cross-platform play unavailable in the original.'
