Numerically determined Nash equilibria (NE) for asymmetric sects whose defining parameters and initial conditions are the same with the exception of either their sizes NA>NB (a) or their resources ωA>ωB (b). All (pi,ki) strategies satisfy the constraint defined by equation (4.8). The blue curves correspond to the (numerically or resource-wise) weaker sect B and the red curves to the stronger sect A. The solid, dashed and dash-dotted lines indicate three distinct (kA,kB) equilibria pairs; for instance the solid red and solid blue curves together describe the most asymmetric outcome. Parameters are set at λ=10, and ωA=ωB=ω=16 in (a); and at λ=10, ωB=16 in (b). Note that since NA and NB always appear as a ratio in equation (4.15) and in the definition of x, we do not need to explicitly set their numerical values in (b) where NA=NB.
