This also means that many important game mechanics are tied to the game world. well perhaps it helps explain from the very outset how this game is so successful. They say that "absolute power corrupts absolutely" and if you create a game that facilitates that megalomaniacal power struggle and allows you to pay to get ahead. It's the central emotional driver on which the game is built around and supports.Īs you ascend the game, the feeling of seeing other people literally do your bidding to court your favor is extremely addictive and powerful, just as it is in real life. I will touch on the true strength of social systems in the game in a later section, but the point I want to get across about 4X games is that the dream of being powerful and ruling the roost is incredibly strong as an emotional motivation to play. This means that your support is important for those duking it out and means that negotiation between alliances is extremely important.
You may be part of an Alliance that has no chance of controlling a Wonder or Super Wonder, but you may be able to influence who does get it. As you climb the ladder you have more and more of an impact on both your Kingdom and the overall game kingdom.
When starting out you might be small feed in the overall scheme of things, but you still contribute to your Kingdom with the resources you provide. No matter which tier players are in their life-cycle, they have an importance to the game.
