Political Opportunity is MEANT to be a race at the turn's beginning?

from PolMach Forums
I'm not sure I like that as the AI is so fast... but is that how it's meant to be a race to see who can click on it first?

The AI's speed is directly linked to the difficulty level. A pushover candidate will take a few turns to see the ?'s, where a difficult candiate will jump on those like a starving pit-bull. At first it may seem to detract from the strategy of the game, but as long as youre on the look out for those puppies when the turn advances, you should be all right. Plus I think it ads some excitement to the more methodical pace of the game play. You suddenly have to make a split second decision...should I use my stamina to try and get that, so should I focus on the task at hand?

Just be glad we changed the Interviews to spawn as one per candidate. In the end, the activists are more of a fun bonus than a game breaker (thought that Time-Waister sure pisses me off sometimes!)

Activists can be extremely powerful.

In two of my games getting a Hollywood producer gave me a big chance to upset the Democrat in California (you have to love 225k ads maintained at 7k per turn).

I think this feature should be changed.

Or at least an option put in.
