So far we have been looking at only a single graph for each variable. . You can keep simulations that are interesting and also display results from multiple simulations on the thumbnail graphs.
Ø | Click on the Reset all Constants button or press Ctrl+Home. |
This resets not only constant changes but also any lookup changes you might have made.
Ø | Click on the Save this Run to... button . |
Ø | Type in the name baserun. |
Ø | Click on Save. |
You will notice that the screen blinks, but nothing seems to change. This is because the base run is the same as the current experiment.
Ø | Move the slider on desired strength ratio 1 up to 2. |
There should be two graphs on each variable.
Ø | Click on the Save this Run to... button. Type the name strong1 and click on Save. |
Ø | Move the slider on desired strength ratio 2up to 2. (This is in the lower part of the model. It is the first time we have changed this value.) |
Ø | Click on the Save this Run to... button. Type the name strongboth and click on Save. |
Ø | Click on Total Armament 2 and click on the Graph tool. You will see the graph: |
Notice how the strong1 and strong2 run end up in almost the same place.
Ø | Click on Economic Capacity 2 and click on the Graph tool. |
When country two is more aggressive about building up arms the consequence is not more arms so much as less economic activity. If you play with the desired strength numbers you will see that after a point making them larger yields a lower arms level at the end of the run.
