[[Exploitation]] is typically a [[Middlegame]] phase but sometimes an [[Endgame]] phase instead. Since it deal with improving and maximizing the utility of player assets, it both can lead to [[Abstract Player Construct Development]] and [[Micromanagement]] of those assets. Since players have no need to perform actions except overview processes if they feel they have maximized the utilization of their [[Resources]], the pattern can give rise to [[Lull Periods]].

An alternative to this type of [[Exploitation]] is one where players instead focus on increasing their [[Scores]]; in this case the gameplay is typically not complex as the phase is the [[Endgame]] and the potential importance of making [[Gameplay Engines]] has most likely been in a previous phase.

	When and how [[Exploitation]] occurs depends on what [[Abilities]] players have.

	How long [[Exploitation]] phases should continue depend mainly on when other phases (typically [[Extermination]]) begins but [[Pottering]] can be made available to those players that wish to prolong the phase.
