Field notes
The page lays out six channels through which institutions affect outcomes, including extraction, legitimacy, economic productivity, social cohesion, and political contest. It also publishes balancing constraints before play begins, including a minimum starting legitimacy and a threshold for more frequent conflict events. A sample run is presented as a replay of server-calculated results, with adjustable playback speed.
