FacetForged
Instead of a progress track, the opponent has Facets (you can think of them as Assets, but for the enemy) that need to be overcome to achieve the set goal. Their number depends on the difficulty of the combat or negotiation (difficulty is calculated as in OG Starforged - depends on our goals, the opponent's strength, and other situational factors).
Troublesome (4 Facets) Dangerous (6 Facets) Formidable (8 Facets) Extreme (10 Facets) Epic (12 Facets)
On paper, it will be convenient to represent these as blank lines.
Initially, we don't know these Facets. We can know some of them if we conduct an investigation about the opponent before the fight. Some Facets are applicable only in combat, some only in negotiation. (For example, a Pirate Captain has the Facets: Gang, and Musculature. Gang can support the captain both in combat and in negotiation. Musculature only in combat. In negotiation, a Facet could also be an unsatisfied character motivation.)

You can play out negotiation not within the framework of a single conversation, but within the framework of many actions. That is, with this mechanic, actions such as weaving intrigues are possible.

Terms:
"Deny Advantage" This is not necessarily the destruction of a Facet, but, for example, creating conditions where the Facet ceases to be useful. For instance, if you lure "Mercenaries" into a narrow gorge, their "Squad" Facet will cease to provide an advantage. To Deny Advantage is to outplay tactically, but for this, you need to know the Facet against which you are devising the tactic.

Moves in a bad spot
Clash
SH, you break a Facet, now you're in control
WH, you break a Facet, but you're in a bad spot. Pay the price
M, the opponent restores a Facet, or escapes the binding circumstances (they found themselves in when you used "Deny Advantage") (maybe this could be removed? Or would it be better with it?). Pay the price

React under fire
SH, you are in control, choose one:
Learn a Facet
+1 to your next move
WH, you avoid the worst of the danger or overcome the obstacle, but not without a cost. Make a suffer move (-1). You stay in a bad spot.
M, Pay the price

Take Decisive Action
Depending on the difficulty, roll challenge dice against neutralized Facets. The size of the challenge dice is determined by the difficulty of the battle or negotiation. Troublesome(2d4) Dangerous(2d6) Formidable(2d8) Extreme(2d10) Epic(2d12)

When you seize an objective in a fight, envision how you take decisive action. Then, roll the challenge dice and compare to your progress.
If you are in control, check the result as normal. If you are in a bad spot, count a strong hit without a match as a weak hit, and a weak hit as a miss.
SH, you prevail. Take +1 momentum. If any objectives remain and the fight continues, you are in control.
WH, you achieve your objective, but not without cost. Roll on the table below or choose one. If the fight continues, you are in a bad spot.

Roll Result
1-40 It’s worse than you thought: Make a suffer move (-2)
41-52 Victory is short-lived: A new peril or foe appears
53-64 You face collateral damage: Something is lost, damaged, or broken
65-76 Others pay the price: Someone else suffers the cost
77-88 Others won’t forget: You are marked for vengeance
89-100 It gets complicated: The true nature of a foe or objective is revealed
OR The opponent reveals a second stage: Roll both challenge dice, take the lowest value, and clear that number of Facets. Then, raise the conflict's rank by one (if not already epic).
M, Pay the price

Adding Cinematography
Collapse Reactions. After every Facet is broken, a Collapse occurs, and the fight must change (change of location, change of opponent's tactic/behavior)! This is for cinematography. A Collapse is not necessarily the opponent's action; it could be the terrain. Collapse Reactions do not repeat. Here is a list of standard Collapses applicable to all opponents and for inspiration:

Powerful onslaught
Seeking cover and environmental advantage
Retreat
Calling for reinforcements
Attacking someone or something valuable
Facets provide Reactions. This helps to narratively represent the fight. Here are standard reactions for inspiration:

Attack with a weapon or verbally
Find cover or protection
Deal damage to a vulnerable target
Regroup or change tactics
Retreat
Pursue your goal or carry out an order

For conflict rank Formidable or lower, the probability of getting a match has increased, which I personally think is more of a plus, but for some, it might not be.
