Great Powers Game Debrief

1. Which country were you? How did it feel to build your empire? Which countries had the advantage at the start of the game? Why? How did you empire compare to other empires?

Sami and I were The United Kingdom. In the beginning, it felt good to build our empire because we were quite strong. The UK, US, and some other countries had an advantage at the start of the gae, because we had more industries to start off with. Our empire was stronger than most or empires in the beginning, however, later on, we became very weak.

2. In the long run was it more important to buy armies, navies, industries or colonies? Why?

I think that buying industries was most important at first, once you have a decent number of them, spend them all on armies.

3. What did you do well? What would you have done differently?

We did a good job on spending our industries for the right things. Next time, I would not have become allies with so many countries.

4. How successful were your alliances? Did they help or hurt you? Could they be trusted?

In the beginning, they were helpful, in terms of helping us and supporting us in war. later on, though, we had too many, and a couple of them back-stabbed us.

5. What are three specific things you learned about conflict from this simulation?

I learnt that you can't rally trust anybody, or listen to anybody either.
