## Definition
Economy Balance经济平衡是游戏内资源流通系统的设计与调优过程——通过控制来源source、汇点sink和均衡曲线确保游戏经济在不同玩家路径上都保持健康无无限循环、无死胡同、无通胀/通缩)。
## Core Framework
### Supply & Demand Model
游戏经济本质上是资源的供给-需求系统:
- **Source**(资源来源):玩家获取货币/道具的途径(任务奖励/掉落/购买)
- **Sink**(资源汇点):资源被消耗的途径(升级/强化/交易税/销毁)
- **Equilibrium**:供需平衡曲线,决定经济稳定性
> 失衡信号Source > Sink → 通货膨胀资源贬值Source < Sink → 通货紧缩(玩家挫败感)
### Player Archetypes
不同付费意愿的玩家需要不同的经济设计:
- **Whales鲸鱼**:高付费,需要 Prestige Sink声望消耗机制防止经济饱和
- **Dolphins海豚**:中等付费,需要 Value Sink性价比消耗机制
- **Minnows小鱼**:免费玩家,需要 Earnable Aspirational Goals可获取的激励目标
## Inflation Detection
定义关键指标并设置阈值:
- **Metric**每活跃玩家每日货币增量Currency per Active Player per Day
- **Threshold**:当指标超过预设值时触发平衡调整流程
- **Adjustment**:调整 Source降低产出或 Sink增加消耗以恢复平衡
## Advanced Methods
### Monte Carlo Simulation
在代码实现前对进度曲线进行蒙特卡洛模拟:
- 模拟 1000+ 随机玩家路径
- 识别极端情况(极速通关 vs 长期卡关)
- 提前发现经济漏洞
### Paper Simulation
在电子表格中进行玩家经济路径模拟:
- 穷举主要玩家路径
- 验证无无限资源获取循环
- 测试边界条件(最小/最大资源持有量)
## Design Standards
| Variable | Base Value | Min | Max | Tuning Notes |
|----------|-----------|-----|-----|--------------|
| Player HP | 100 | 50 | 200 | Scales with level |
| Enemy Damage | 15 | 5 | 40 | [PLACEHOLDER] - test at level 5 |
| Resource Drop % | 0.25 | 0.1 | 0.6 | Adjust per difficulty |
| Ability Cooldown | 8s | 3s | 15s | Feel test required |
> 所有数值从假设开始,用 `[PLACEHOLDER]` 标记,直至通过测试验证
## Relationship to Core Gameplay Loop
Economy Balance 支撑会话循环和长期循环:
- **会话循环**资源稀缺性制造张力Source - Sink = 可用资源)
- **长期循环**:货币通胀/通缩直接影响玩家成就感曲线
