Thumbs ranking
Description"Economic" weapons of war. I would like to know which by analogy, economic instruments would be represented by which actual weapons. As an example, take a standard bank; it could be represented as a Fort-Strong hold in "weapon" terms, and perhaps coinage, could be represented as "bullets of some sort" - The American dollar being a DU shell (depleted uranium) whereas the Mexican pesos could be a small caliber bullet of some sort. I would like to "start" a discussion on this; and try to reach an overall agreement. The main idea being, is that in the trailer; which I will be making to attract more people, will make this general equations. Again, this is still part of the main Requiem project, in the sense that in art of war he goes into some detail of which weapons to use when.
ShotsAbstraction in it's finest.Well, your logic seems to be quite far up there in abstraction.. But let's try a couple: 1) Stock market is a hectic place that is all about future value, not present reality. In military terms all i can see is a (simulation) war room in which generals speculate and squabble over possibilities and risks of future attacks or defenses.. All that military simulation is, is speculation with always too little information at hand. Often it has little correlance with real life. That's why most military plans don't go as intended, just like the stock market. 2) The central bank = headquarters. With little connection to the men on the ground, both live in their own sanitized worlds of high finance and military theory. 3) Inflation. In the military, it means the loss of trust in you capabilities, your superiors or the technology. See: Inflation of the frontal assault in World War one. Commercial blockade = siegeCommercial blockade or embargo is the prohibition of commerce (division of trade) and trade with a certain country, in order to isolate it and to put its government into a difficult internal situation, given that the effects of the embargo are often able to make its economy suffer from the initiative. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embargo This sounds very much like the siege of a town or a city to force the inhabitants to surrender because of lack of food and water during a long siege. P.S. Here's a nice 4chan picture touching this task :)
