Resolves #<add your approved & assigned issue number> ## Description: Rebalances the Doomsday Clock so it acts as a **late-game stalemate-breaker** rather than an early-game culler, softens how fast it removes troops and warships, and makes the HUD countdown clearer. **Clock schedule (all presets):** - A flat **10-minute grace** at 0% required share — the early game is decided by combat, not the clock. - Then a 6-wave squeeze at accelerating levels (4 / 9 / 16 / 26 / 40 / 55%) with short pauses, reaching the final 55% at each preset's cap: **45 / 35 / 25 / 15 min** for slow / normal / fast / veryfast. - `WaveSchedule` `rampSeconds`/`pauseSeconds` are now **per-wave arrays**, so the curve can be shaped (gentle early, steeper late) instead of one uniform ramp. `requiredBasisPoints` and the HUD companion `doomsdayClockWaveState` walk the per-wave segments in lockstep. **Troop drain:** warn window `10s → 30s`, drain eased (`2%→5%` over `90s`), so a caught side takes ~2 minutes to wipe instead of ~1. **Warship attrition:** warships get their own gentler start plus a **convex** decay curve — a ship caught when its side is first doomed lasts about as long as troops, but the rate ramps up steeply so a side at full attrition still loses its fleet in ~2s. Adds a `curveExponent` argument to `doomsdayClockDrain` (1 = linear, used for troops; higher = convex, used for ships). **Determinism:** the drain curve is **integer-only** (fixed-point power, no floats), so the floored per-tick loss is bit-identical on every client in the lockstep sim. The linear troop path keeps its exact existing integer form; only the convex warship path is reshaped. **HUD countdown clarity:** the clock readout now shows a live countdown in both states — `Will reach 16% in M:SS` while the bar is actively climbing, and `Starts rising to 26% in M:SS` during a pause (previously `Next 26% in …`, which read as if it jumped there instantly). Backed by a new `secondsToTarget` field on the shared wave state so the sim and HUD stay in agreement. All display text goes through `translateText()` / `en.json`. <img width="278" height="116" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e0be3d2c-bb88-46be-b344-34d63e4859bd" /> <img width="304" height="171" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/da74bd05-0b9a-4aec-bbf5-e7380fbda88e" /> **Danger skull:** while a side is below the bar in the warn window, its on-map skull now blinks progressively faster as the countdown runs out (accelerating to the moment the drain begins), then holds steady once it is actually draining — a clearer "you are about to be hit" cue. Rationale: the previous schedule removed players heavily in the first half of a match and could leave a drawn-out endgame. Holding the clock at 0% early keeps the opening about fighting, and concentrating its pressure in the back half reserves it for actually breaking stalemates. Values are tuning starting points and easy to adjust in `DoomsdayClock.ts` / the config defaults. ## Please complete the following: - [x] I have added screenshots for all UI updates - [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file - [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory ## Please put your Discord username so you can be contacted if a bug or regression is found: <add your Discord username>
