    6366During start-up Hannibal parses all templates of involved civilizations and builds a mesh network consisting of nodes and edges. Nodes are e.g. classes, resources, technologies and all units and entities. Athen's culture generates around 160 nodes and 2000 edges. Nodes use a sanitized form of the templates name as unique name and are saved as a JS object with additional properties like cost, hit points and size. Maps or Weakmaps might perform better, but are untested. Edges consist of an JS array with source node, a verb and the target node, hence the name triple store. Currently there are 26 verbs for 13 edge types with two directions. During the game the store is updated with created and destroyed entities, so the query language can select these as nodes too. In game nodes have a '#' + their id as name suffix. The parser is coded in ''cultures.js'' and the store in ''store.js''. Both are separated so the domain knowledge is in ''cultures.js'' only.
