tags:: architecture - everything that can possibly be a [[metric]] tracked in one place - every [[metric]] also has “attributes”, the same way a db has columns, so we can do things like query for "all attack % of this particular empire" - can uniformly apply [[modifiers]] like "all of these metrics queried take a 15% debuff" - tracking metrics also gives us stats options, for example if ur [[energy credits]] are being combined from multiple sources each of them could be tracked separately - every entry could also contain a closure along with the current amount, so the new value at any [[tick]] can just be determined by running the closure
