Small bugs regarding Obamacare and custom candidates

 Hi. There are one or two bugs. One is that for some reason, Democrats favour 'repealing Obamacare'. Second is that while we are able to mod the given candidates like Clinton and Sanders, we are not able to mod custom candidates like we were for TPM2012. I hope you will fix this. Otherwise it looks like a cool game so far with a good update of the issues. Oh, and you didn't make Trump ugly enough.

We'll definitely address the Character Issues numbers for Obamacare and Secure the Borders in our next build.

As for modding custom characters, can you be more specific?  We haven't changed anything in that area from 2012.

Hi. My mistake. I was able to mod my custom Jed Bartlet of the West Wing. I didn't find the correct file.


You should also look into "Russia Military Muscle Flexing". No Democrat supports Putin's actions in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, even if they are doves and/or naive. Obama has committed to boosting America's military presence in Eastern Europe and Hilary will be more hawkish if she wins, including regarding Putin's actions in Syria.


It should instead be Supporting/Opposing Dovish/cautious line on Russian Muscle Flexing. The Democrats being more 'dovish' will support greater diplomacy to ease the New Cold War while the Republicans, except for Rand Paul and Donald Trump, will be more hawkish.


Also, it seems rather odd that speaking out on tax cuts, health care, Russia can swing voters by 12 to 17% when other issues move between 1 and 10%. It has to be a really good [JFKennedy, FDR,Cuomo, Lincoln, Reagan] or really bad [Palin/Rumsfeld like gaffes, ] to send the polls swinging like that.

Perhaps there can be a mechanism that improves the quality of the speech-not just physical stamina points, intelligence and charisma but mental stamina?


What about the "Pivot to Asia-Pacific" as an issue?

Lovely game so far.

In regards to the Russian Issue, issue description outlines that the pro position is that the US should actively oppose Russian whereas the con position is to solve our differences diplomatically.  We'll take a pass on the issue names to make it a bit more clear.

what does take a pass mean?

What about ''isolationism'' as an issue on the policy platform? Trump and Paul represent isolationism to varying degrees.
