servo75 30 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 A while ago there was talk, possibly from @admin_270 or @potato_walrus, about a tutorial, or game walk-through, FAQ, manual, etc. There are still many things about the game that I find confusing, like just for an example: Barnstorming vs. Rallies, how to understand some of the screens, what effect events, and spin, and things like that have, and overall strategy. Maybe it could be a team effort. I could certainly contribute some of the more basic stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elljawa 0 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I agree. I am new to the game and am getting the hang of it, but I feel like I still lack a core understanding of all the mechanics, what exactly they do, and also feel like I am missing some potential functions I should know.

admin_270 834 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 It's a good idea. I'll look into how to make tutorials. If people have specific questions they want answered, list them here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
servo75 30 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'll start with a few off the top of my head and add/edit as I think of them 1. What is the difference among barnstorming, rallies, and policy speeches and when is the best use for each? 2. What is the difference between Organizational Strength and Footsoldiers and what is the best use for each? 2. How to read and interpret screens like "Momentum by Issue" and "Campaign Theme", like Theme Bonus +1, Progress 1/3? 3. How do news stories affect the election, what do we do with news headlines? Is this related to the notes "Your interview with __ has generated a positive news story?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 834 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thanks for these - all noted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POLITICALBOMB 0 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Another good question could be explaining how surrogates fully work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

servo75 30 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 What is the purpose of themes, what do things like "theme bonus" and Progress 0/3 mean? What does "Issue Knowledge" activity do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 834 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Got it - thanks for these. Yes, I think walk-through videos of key parts of the game, along with supporting documents, might be a good solution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
