Also, nations where politicians win elections in the first on those kinds of mottos are once great civilizations and empires in deep decline, and probably headed to either the dustbin of history or reinvention only from the ashes of complete collapse. But you're fully aware of this, right? Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony_270 1,106 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Will probably introduce a 'change_barnstorming_power' event type. It will allow for modeling the decreased effectiveness of barnstorming and rallies for much of 2020. Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony_270 1,106 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Might add an issue called something like 'Policing and racial unrest', including law and order and BLM. Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony_270 1,106 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Also look at % bonuses bug. Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony_270 1,106 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 One interesting dynamic is a stark divide in how much Dems vs Reps care about certain issues. So issue profiles for certain issues basically follow partisan voting patterns in states. Global warming is a good example. In some cases, the two issues could be considered two sides of the same coin (Reps -> law and order, Dems -> racial justice and BLM). Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony_270 1,106 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 This release will probably include the first new graphic designed for the higher resolution system - the Start Screen Lady of Liberty image. Link to post Share on other sites

Is it done overall nationally? On a party level? Or on a state level? Are you considering any changes to this system based on your observation? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In the Editor, you can set issue centres and profiles by region. Basically, regions are the Voting Blocs in the game currently. If Voting Blocs is implemented, then you could add, say, voting_bloc="republican" issue="global_warming" profile="low" and then voting_bloc="democratic" issue="global_warming" profile="high". You can currently set a universal party-specific issue centre modifier (so it moves the regional centre for a specific party's primaries towards the party's centre), but you can't set a party-specific profile. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TheLiberalKitten 350 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 @admin_270 Could the bonuses bug be because of the Favorability feature? Like one thing I noticed while playing around with the editor is this message. I remember before favorability this didn't pop up. Just wondering! Link to post Share on other sites

Like one thing I noticed while playing around with the editor is this message. I remember before favorability this didn't pop up. Just wondering! Yes, that's exactly correct. The problem is that the system switched to a Favorability increase, but that's unpredictable and doesn't translate neatly into %s. I am in the process of changing it back to %s.

Anthony_270 1,106 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 This means campaign designers who upped this based on the Favorability will have to re-tweak their campaigns. Link to post Share on other sites

I am in the process of changing it back to %s. To be clear, the bonuses will add a certain %, but the game engine still uses Favorability underlying the %s. Link to post Share on other sites
