Daily #397 | The five ways of winning as a modern micro-empire
Hey there,
So today I’m going to share another chapter from my upcoming book Micro Empires Unleashed. This chapter is on the “5 Victory Types.”
These 5 Victory types were inspired by one of my favorite strategy games, Civilization VI. The reason why I’ve applied them to modern micro-empires is because, well, in Civ, you’re building out your own empire.
What I learned from Civ, which I applied to my study of micro-empires from ancient to modern to now digital businesses, is that business-oriented “micro empires” are pretty much like city-state powers.
This often means:
Fast positioning
Highly optimized space
Extremely wise resource allocation
Strategic partnerships and alliances
Close proximity or connectedness to adjacent hubs
Since Civ is a game that is been based off of human history, I found a lot of similarities with what I observed (empirically) with businesses I worked with, and powers I studied throughout time.
Enjoy the below outline of each victory type in relation to modern micro-empires:
