[quote]That is definitely Monopoly man!Hey, isn't there a monocle piece that you could give him?[/quote] Hmm... thats a good idea! Though that also gives me a great idea for another bobblehead I could make. Colonel Klink. "Hooooogaaaaaaannnnn! Vote for me or its thirty days in the cooler!"
I gotta go with JT's guesses. I think the last one is Ted Kennedy. While we're on the subject, would anyone like to take a guess at my created candidate. Here is a hint: he's big into real estate. ;) [img]http://members.dslextreme.com/users/tomthebitx/youknowwho_Max.png[/img]
Right now he isn't an unlockable character in the game, but you can create him though in the figurehead editor. In another thread in this forum there is a topic about FDR where one fellow made a pretty good look alike.
[quote]Being a president nerd, I took it upon myself to create some of my favorite omitted presidents in the editor. So, at least visually, here's my best FDR.(if you can do better, let's see it!)[/quote] That is a sweet looking FDR sixtimes. I think for that vintage feel you should get a shot with him with the fancy hat head piece. Once I saw that I thought that a FDR as sweet as that needs a VP too. I gave it a try and came up with this. [img]http://members.dsl
I was thinking about building HQ's at work today (slow day) and I came up with this. If we're talking money only and forget about awareness for the moment, a level 1 and level 2 campaign HQ will pay for itself in 25 turns. A level 3 HQ will pay for itself in 20 turns. A level 1 HQ costs $250k and gives $10k a turn, so thats 25 turns for it to generate $250k. A level 2 HQ costs $250k + $500k and gives $30k a turn, so thats another 25 turns for it to generate $750k. A level 3

The Democrats you can unlock in the game are Carter, LBJ, Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, & JFK. As for the Republicans you can unlock, they're Grant, Nixon, Roosevelt, Reagan, Lincoln, and Washington. There is one less Democrat to unlock because you play Clinton in campaign mode and he comes unlocked already.
Hey there, I was in the middle of going through the Republican's and unlocking them when I noticed the AI had a Fixer just sitting in a state and doing nothing. Usually when we buy a fixer, they sit off to the side unseen until we unleash them on an opposing operative. I guess in this case the AI didn't have a target it wanted to go after so this Fixer was just sitting there on a state unused. <img src="http://members.dslextreme.com/users/rifkin/Fixer%20at%20FL.JPG" ali
I was thinking about this before. Yea if you look at the counties map it would look like a sea of red with blue spots where the big city areas are at. But I prefer the way we have now. There is some suspension of disbelief when you play this game. Like a candidate in California giving a speech (5 stamina) in the game is representing the candidate making a trip up or down, hitting different big cities along the coast line. If it got to a point where it's so realistic that we are micromanagin
I haven't beaten Washington yet, but I did beat his blue equivalent last night, JFK. My strategy was similar to Tim above and should work the same.. Weeks 1 - 30 I was working on getting as much weekly income as fast as possible and putting HQs down. Make sure to get some clout coming in early too because he'll start grabbing some of your own endorsements if you don't move fast enough. Once I get to week 31 I start spending my turns like ths: 1 - go to a wobbler state that could go
JFK was a bit tougher than Jefferson for sure. Boy he just never runs out of stuff to do during his turn. But I stayed with my same strategy and was a late come from behind victory. At my worst point I was 14 points behind in the national polls, but my late TV ads were just too much for his dozens of newspaper ads. Also I made sure to boost my clout earlier like you suggested Kahn so I was able to get all the cheap endorsements for me, but JFK was just as fast getting his own. At least he d
I couldn't believe what happened my next time around. I might have just had bad luck the first go arounds with Jefferson. This time around I was of course behind 3/4 into the race by around 6 points nationally. Nothing to get excited over. Once I began putting TV ads in my states that were wobbly either way I began to notice some of his states were being put into play, week by week some states I wasn't expecting. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin were all getting into that coul
Hey folks. I've been enjoying the game a lot so far. Of course like a lot of you out there, my goal is to unlock all the characters in campaign mode. I started off unlocking the democrats. Carter and Clinton were pretty easy with my big spending strategy. LBJ and Wilson gave me more a run for my money. Jefferson is where I hit a bump in the road. If the campaign were only a couple weeks longer I think I can overtake him. However, I don't have that
