<h3> Selective Famine - The Silk Road</h3>
Every civilization has different needs, and wants. This naturally encourages <em>trade</em>.

<br />
If the Green Civilization produces wood, and the Gray Civilization produces stone, they trade. That being said, consider the problem of "good enough". The Yellow Civilization produces an abundance of wheat, but Green and Gray both produce their own wheat supply. Green and Gray have no need to trade with Yellow, since their wheat supply is secure, and "good enough".

The Selective Famine cuts off a specific resource. When a Wheat Famine occurs, all wheat production slows down, (or the demand for wheat artificially increases). Suddenly, wheat is wanted and needed. Green and Gray have an incentive to trade with Yellow. Through proper, fair use of the selective famine, trade, cooperation, and co-existence is incentivized.
