Strategy The Autocrat
Definition The player takes command of events.
Desired Result In this way, he either does not offer choices which do not present him with an advantage, or influences those who are willing to listen and follow.
Commentary When someone starts to take command, most people just tend to follow along. Employing this strategy is an attempt to gain allies through simple social dynamics. The Autocrat can be hands-on or hands-off as the situation demands, but they will attempt to lead those who are willing to follow. In games where the early rounds are proportionally more important than the mid-game, this strategy can be most effective, because it may tend to wear off, or be worn down.
