The 1932 Presidential election, with the highly limited representation of candidates (only three parties and the incumbent) and the very dull campaigning and lack of competitiveness in comparison, as well as the low voter turnout rate compared to Reichstag, make this election very much a minor sideshow compared to the Reichstag elections, which are a far greater and more worthy set of election projects, if your going to do the Weimar Republic. Almost all political historians of the era tend to agree. I would HIGHLY recommend one or more Reichstag elections (though, please, not butchered by PMI FPTP) over this Presidential election.

I was going to do that, but unfortunately since we don't have a German election system to choose from (except the non updated, Chancellor forever) I am going to do this for now, I may add some what if candidates, and party's to make it interesting, since it is such a limited election (along with alot of events) I just don't know what if's to add yet.

Why is it that just because perfectly good game engines that are fully workable that aren't "updated to current standards," are declared tantamount to useless, unusable, and not even to be considered as options by many younger people. I, for one, will not be held hostage to Anthony's wonky priority system and denied the majority of election scenario possibilities by that. I have, and will use, K4E where needed - which, again, is a majority of potential election scenario opportunities, and I won't let Anthony dragging his feet or the "avant garde, everything must be shiny and new or I can't use it," neurotic nonsense of the younger people today hold me back. So, there is a perfectly functional and working election system available. You don't have to use it - but please don't use a "lack thereof," as any sort of reason to be respected by me, I'm afraid.

Lack there of as you can't purchase the campaign editor mainly anymore, lol. Therefore, since that isn't even an option, it's impossible to work on said scenarios.

The text files were edited manually after being opened as notepad files and the bitmaps were named, cropped, and placed manually. Believe it or not, when I first arrived on these forums, everyone was doing that, and it wasn't a problem. And, you typed as though you (erroneously) "knew" there ever was an editor, or that making or editing scenarios is actually now impossible. You told you this fallacy?

I'll see Thank you for the offer. Don't have anything on the mind rn but I always thought a Germany 2017 would be fun, with more parties (like Volt, Free Voters, some of those minors) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My West Germany 1949 (polished and expanded version) and East Germany 1990 election scenarios are both close to being ready for release (barring one or more annoying bugs or errors). I hope to release them both at the same time. Also, to @WVProgressive whose shown a definite interest in the latter at a couple points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Put them into the scenario folder which, unlike the Infinity games, is found directly as a sub-folder in the actual game data folder, not created separately in the Documents folder.
