The doomsday clock

Starts at 2:00 to midnight. It ticks on its own and advances with every token spent anywhere on the map (260 tokens = 1 second). Dan can nudge it forward. At midnight the bubble over the map pops: token income collapses for everyone, Shimin hardest, and carbon monoxide seeps across the maze. After a 45-second correction the auditors count Delivered Value (units and buildings alive, plus creeps cleared). Highest value wins. The canary next to the clock knows before you do.

Context Window

Every unit has a context meter that drains while it moves or fights. At 13% its head turns into a bull's (the Minotaur): less damage, slower, invents APIs. Send it home with G to compact; standing near your HQ or production building restores it.

Landmarks and Gas Town

Stand a unit within 3 units of a segment landmark for 5 seconds to claim it: Hardware Hut +15% production speed, Tool Shed −15% build time, Technique Corner −15% ability cooldowns. The Vibe & Tell stage draws Hamlet when he is summoned nearby. The vein inside Gas Town, at the center, yields three times as much per trip.

Phantom Episode

Fog of war is hallucination. Unscouted areas occasionally show invented enemy units, flickering like a bad VHS rip. They vanish when one of your real units gets close enough to check. Do not cite them.

Shimin (Protoss analogue)

Few units, all expensive. HQ Two Acres in Washington is a goat farm that is slow to develop (X to upgrade) but yields enormous passive tokens. Arena Judges: eleven brains in jars grade enemies and delete the worst. Shakespeare stuns with a soliloquy (derpy hands: 20% chance of half duration). Superweapon Fourth-Order Effects: rings of consequences; at the 7th order everyone in range, yours too, stops to discuss what it means to be human. Passive Deadpan: immune to Dan's Rant. Weakness the 20x plan: a 2,000-token cap; hit it and production stalls for 10s.

Dan (Terran analogue)

One base, no cloud. Everything builds at The Framework Desktop; queue too much and it thermal-throttles. Workers are carrier pigeons with USB sticks. Token Miser: half-cost, lower-stat units. Small PRs: units ship in small, fast batches. Open Weights captures a neutral model after a 3s Tiananmen check (fail and it glitches). Haiku only writes haikus. x86 Tetris is a fortress abilities cannot target. Dan's Rant charges for two and a half weeks, then erupts map-wide. Superweapon Two Minutes to Midnight moves the clock 30s closer. Weakness jet lag: slow units for the first 60s.

Rahul (Zerg analogue)

As an AI opponent he drives in at 2:00 (he is covering for Dan). Persuaders convert enemies on sustained contact. Grandmaster hero is immune to morale effects and pacification. Hahaha heals, and fires for free whenever a Shakespeare appears. I'd Watch It All Day locks one enemy until it is damaged; cast it on a Hamlet to steal the audience. Guest Host: if Dan's HQ falls while Rahul lives, Rahul takes Dan's units. Employer-Neutral: no insignia, so single-target abilities and judge deletions skip his units. Superweapon Thunderdome: a cage drops on an area, everyone inside fights the nearest unit for 8 seconds, friend or foe, and the survivors join Rahul.

Neutral creeps

National champion open-weight models spawn 4 to 14 months behind the frontier at camps around the map. Kill them for tokens and Delivered Value, or let Dan capture them.
