The development of abstract attributes and characteristics associated with a player of a game.
This pattern is a still a stub.
Contents
Examples
The development of different types of technologies in both the Civilization series and the Europa Universalis series are examples of Abstract Player Construct Development that can provide access to new units, new buildings, improved abilities, and, for the Civilization series, new diplomatic actions.
Using the pattern
Just as Characters are a special case of Abstract Player Constructs, so is Character Development a special case of Abstract Player Construct Development.
The actual development is typically either New Abilities or Improved Abilities for both Abstract Player Constructs and Characters, but for Abstract Player Construct Development achieved through changes in Technologies, promotions, or increases in number of Units or Territories - the Civilization series have all of these and the Europa Universalis series have all but promotions.
