[quote who="liberalsentinel" reply="16" id="3203456"]Steam Library doesn't automatically update the game contrary to what the mods have said. [/quote] It's a "silent update" as I call it, it doesn't tell you it updated it just does...
Just wanna point out Rick Santorum's (as well as a few other Republican Candidates) platforms should of been updated to be in favor of "Chik-fi-let" as well as a few Democrats be against...
[quote who="jkgt9" reply="5" id="3202306"]I managed to have an electoral tie in political machine 2008, and nothing happened. It winner just defaulted to the person who had the highest popular vote. Since the 2012 is the same thing as the 2008 edition except with less features, I am sure that nothing will happen in this edition either. [/quote] ^Makes sense, seeing there is no big secret House feature it would make sense that the winner of the tie is the popular vote winner...tha
So I was going through the "Strategic Map" and figured out a few ways an electoral tie (269-269) is possible, I tried to set it up so the computer would get 269 and so would I and that's hard enough so I gotta ask, any of you Stardock people who read this (or anyone whom this has happened to) what happens in the game-end screen in the event of an electoral tie?
I think personally the suspense from it is sufficient...however I'd like to see like a system where say there is a counter for popular vote then the state switches to the color of which ever candidate won the electoral votes...

[quote who="LionDemocrats" reply="1" id="3200831"]what is the 4-pack?[/quote] You get 4 copies of the game, which you can gift to others.
Good to know you guys aren't as stingy with files and their modification difficulty as some developers are...I think I'm gonna try to create a huge Fan-Made Expansion for us PM'12 fans...

I'm sorry you never got to see the second coming of FDR. Not that it was all that great the first time, in my opinion.[/quote] I think FDR was one of our best ever...also about the electoral college, it ensures states elect the president (states rights) but in order to change it we need a constitutional 
I also wanna see probably an implementation of "Faithless" Electors, electors who do not follow the majority vote of the state (Pretty rare currently so I'd say make it eh 1 or max 3 every election (Still a big threat for advanced players who are running a close election... Also I think why not add "Foreign endorsements" which would be random based on what you're doing as in say "UK Prime Minister BLAH endorses the campaign of CANDIDATE to see as next US President" Als
[quote who="Maute" reply="3" id="3200093"] Quoting Zubaz, reply 2I edited the republican logo to be the libertarian one and will be editing other files to switch it up. I can't make it a three party race . .but I will do what I can. Oh, cool! Just having different parties represented would be awesome, even if it's still just two parties against each other at a time.

Haven't even got to try multiplayer, I just created a game in hopes someone would join but hopefully it doesn't glitch for me... EDIT I just played most of a 41 turn game and I think it got froze at turn 30 and it went on and on until the other guy left for some reason (I was beating him with Santorum xD)

[quote who="LionDemocrats" reply="31" id="3199191"]plus, what do I do with Steam? Is it the same account as Impulse/Stardock and Political Machine 2012? [/quote] Stardock/Impulse are not connected to Steam for Steam is owned by another company.
[quote who="LionDemocrats" reply="30" id="3199169"]I thought you were going to issue me a new -product code. My first one was rendered invalid. I am very disappointed. I waited all day for the game despite the fact I have the Olympics to watch. I don't want to have re-purchase the game. The credit card charge in Cyprus are higher than in other countries and I am an university student with big medical bills and my father doesn't have patience.[/quote] I saw you said you purchas
