Compare three player strategies

The problem

One average playthrough hides the experience of careful and risky players.

Practical procedure

Define conservative, balanced and expansion-first purchase rules; simulate each from identical starting conditions.

Worked scenario

Conservative players save until they can afford upkeep twice; aggressive players buy the first available upgrade.

Acceptance check

Compare time to first meaningful choice, bankruptcy risk and ending balance, not just highest score.

Apply the method

Use the related interactive tool to try the concept on an inspectable example. Record the starting assumptions and expected result before changing settings, then compare what the tool actually does. Where the result differs, keep the release marked experimental and document the discrepancy.
