# Strategist Prop Audit
This audit keeps Zhuge Liang's large white feather fan as a unique signature prop.
It also keeps character-specific scholar traits intact: Ma Liang should read as the white-eyebrow civil official, not as another white-robed feather-fan strategist.
Detailed per-unit visual direction lives in `strategist-character-direction.md`.
## Prop Rule
- `unit-zhuge-liang` is the only unit allowed to use a large white feather fan silhouette.
- `unit-zhuge-liang` may keep the white-robed sage read; other strategists should not rely on white robes plus fan shapes for identity.
- `unit-ma-liang` may use bright white only for his famous eyebrows and small paper highlights. His robe silhouette should stay green/olive/tan and document-focused.
- Other strategist, civil-official, and shaman units should use bamboo slips, scrolls, maps, command tablets, brush cases, small folding fans, talismans, ritual staffs, or faction-specific tools.
- A fan is acceptable only when it does not read as Zhuge Liang's large white feather fan at 50px battle scale.

## Representative Fix Batch
The first correction batch changes:
- `unit-ma-liang`
- `unit-pang-tong`
- `unit-sima-yi`
- `unit-fa-zheng`
- `unit-shu-strategist`
Next representative cleanup order:
1. `unit-wu-strategist-river`
2. `unit-shu-strategist-field`
3. `unit-wei-strategist-black`
Later cleanup should remove white-feather-fan reads from remaining generic strategist variants after the representative fixes are verified.
