+
+## Visual Decision
+
+Nanman officer v1 is accepted as a mid-tier southern commander sprite. The shield, saber, feathers, and heavier leather/bronze silhouette distinguish it from Nanman infantry while staying less massive and ornate than Meng Huo.

+## Notes
+
+The battle-scale preview reads clearly at desktop 100% zoom without relying on external rings, bases, or badges. The unit stays inside the intended frame margins and keeps a stable bottom anchor across idle, walk, and action states.
