What this is

A city-state's banner on the map looked exactly like a civ's capital (a crown, its people, its name), and clicking its city did nothing. Both are fixed, client side only.

On the map (overlay.ts), a city-state's banner now has:

• a "City-state" tab over it, in its kind's colour;
• its kind's glyph (anchor, lyre, sword, coin, faith) where a capital's crown would be;
• a gold "!" at its end while it asks something of you (an open quest);
• your influence on a bar beneath it, marked at friendship (30) and alliance (60) and coloured by your standing (gold ally, green friend, grey neutral, red war). A damaged city-state's health bar moves down under it.

The tooltip over its city says it too ("Maritime city-state · Your friend · influence 45"), with "Click to talk to Venice".

Clicking a city-state's city (its banner or its tile, with no unit of yours selected) opens its card alone in Diplomacy, the way Civ V's city-state screen greets you:

• its envoy speaks first, by your standing (ally, friend, at war, distrustful), or by its kind when you're strangers;
• then everything that can be done with it, as on the city-states' list: gifts of gold, its requests, pledging protection, tribute, war or peace, and a hint on giving it a soldier;
• "All city-states" goes back to the list, where each name now opens its card.

The same card opens from the city-state's emblem on the leaders' ribbon, from its notes (requests, thanks, pledges), and from the advisor's city-state tip ("Speak to Venice"). With a unit selected, a click on the city still sends the unit, as before.

Clicking another civ's city (no unit selected) opens Diplomacy with its leader, as in Civ V.

The Civilopedia's Diplomacy article and the advisor's tip mention the banner and the click.

Screenshot or clip

Screenshots are in the project thread: the banners next to a civ's capital, a close-up, and the card opened from a click on Venice.

Checklist

• npm run build: tsc --noEmit, the boundary and presentation checks, BUNDLE_REPORT=1 vite build and check:bundle all pass. (npm run wasm couldn't download binaryen's wasm-opt here, so the engine was built without it.)
• npm run test:headless: all 99 pass.
• Imports only from inside the game
• No new names or assets

Tested in the browser (dev server, Chromium): banners for friend, ally and neutral city-states and a quest "!", clicking a city-state's banner opens its card, gifts update it, the list's names open cards, clicking Berlin opens Bismarck's diplomacy, a click with a unit selected still moves the unit, and the card on a phone-width screen.
