Congratulations!
Superique
This is absolutely true!
Is this for the old game or for the new one?
I think all of you, developers, should take a look at our sugestions because they would enhance a lot this wonderfull game!
Bump
Voting should be more real in the political machine. Some polls should be open while others are starting to be counted. The electoral votes and the popular vote could be counted gradually while it would appear your predicted number of EVs. That would give us lots of suspense, specially in a close race...
[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="4" id="3134970"] Quoting Superique, reply 3 Quoting GoaFan77, reply 1If you won on that platform in California without a second Clinton sex scandal I think they need to put more weight on the states starting political views. There is another reason for that. The game engine consider also your awareness on the State (MR 70% vs HC 68%). As the game was really fast (just 21 weeks), this 2 points helped me and I won there.
I live in Brazil, so I discovered this game on 2010. I really liked it and one friend of mine loved to play this in my house. Two days ago, he said that he wanted to buy this game but I think that Stardock doesn't sell it anymore, do you? If "yes" is your answer, where can I buy it?
Added an analysis!

I just decided to do a quickplay of 21 weeks with Mitt Romney and the result was really good. The First Part I started with a 2 points lead, about 45% for me and 43% for Clinton and the polls were actually showing that if the elections were held on the first week, I would win about 300/380 EVs and therefore be the president of the United States. It wasn't so easy at all, Clinton started to neutralize my early lead but
I think people here just don´t care about The Political Machine =(
It was really hard to win and I've stayed behind Reagan untill the last two weeks of the election. The problem was that Reagan had much more money than I and it was quite difficult to just wait and see if things were going to change for me. I decided to make the issues that I lead, the most important ones such as Health-care, Iraq and Improving the Economy. My Running Mate was Michael Dukakis. This is was how it was going to be before the campaign: [
Really, I'm not kidding. What is the dificult part of doing primaries? The same national map, your awareness should increase when you win on a state and it should have the momentum thing. And we also need a debate, that would be nice, specially on multiplayer! Maybe political endorsements from other politicians.... I don't but it seems to me that this new game will be an evolution, Gamers deserve a Revolution! :P
I'm waiting a Political Machine Game with Primaries... Like a minor and funnier version of the President Forever Game. Please Stardock make this!
