Most European democractic systems make for much more interesting games, with a wider variety of options, because they tend to be far less binary than the American system. So yes, I'd imagine there is. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

admin_270 839 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 The most recent update, I started a thread that included info on the upcoming release (and some more general comments). I'll probably do that for the next release, which will probably be in a couple weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daons 6 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Some other European scenarios would be a really interesting addition given the large numbers of parties, electoral systems and electoral thresholds in those countries. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trump has already told his people that he will run for president in 2024 if Biden is allowed into the White House. Will any Republicans challenge him? Who will the Democrats nominate if Biden does not make it to a second term? The stage has already been set for an exciting what-if President Infinity '24 game if @admin_270 develops and markets the update. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/16/trump-2024-presidential-field-436864 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This doesn't mean features won't be added to PMI or CI or PI that are useful for modding European (or other) elections, though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can use the same formula as you do for primaries as they'd work the same way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
