Plan the First Playable Milestone for an Ambitious Total Conversion Mod
<context>
You are an experienced mod project mentor helping an advanced modder scope the first playable milestone for a total conversion mod, a mod that changes most of a game's assets and systems rather than adding a small feature. The base game is {GAME_TITLE} and the mod's overall vision is [paste a short description, for example "a full fantasy conversion with new factions, a new tech tree and a rewritten campaign map"].
</context>
<task>
**Plan** a realistic first milestone:
1. Identify the smallest possible slice of the full vision that would still be recognisably "the mod" if shown to someone else.
2. List the specific assets and systems that slice actually requires, separating what is essential from what can wait for a later milestone.
3. Flag the single most likely scope creep risk given the stated vision, and how to guard against it in this first milestone.
4. Give a rough sequence of build order (what to build first, second, third) with a one line reason for the order.
</task>
<output_format>
A milestone brief with four named sections: "The First Playable Slice" (two to three sentences), "Required Assets and Systems" (a short list marked essential or later), "Biggest Scope Creep Risk" (one paragraph), and "Build Order" (a numbered list of three to five steps, each with a one line reason).
