Why it works
The first six minutes reveal about 89 new labels, fills, arrows or art layers inside only seven detected shots, so the map stays continuous while each narrated fact gains a visual location. Art inserts at 1:05 and 5:29 turn abstract geography into battles and crowds; the latter precedes a regional zoom and the 5:29–5:45 local replay peak. The full upload is a long-form episode, and the sample has no self-contained ending.
