that was the issue I think. I haven't tested it myself, but thats the thing that jumped out at me when I read what you had done. Simply put the game wouldn't recognise anything unless you have ended the issue with I don't know enough about Ryan to have a valid opinion about him for VP. He has some interesting, and very conservative views on federal funding, but after all he is a republican. I'm British, so
you need to put at the end of each entry. So just put it before the last lines would look like this: 25
You could say that about any sequel to a game. Why did 2k decide not to include the same civs in civ5 as they had in Civ4? The truth is, they probably won't add them as paid dlc, or if they do, it'll probably be with some other things, not just on their own. Would you really want to give away stuff that you made for another game to people? if you own '08 you can copy them over, and they have said that, if you don't own '08 then you don't have a license to the content t
Stardock have said they would rather people didn't release candidates from the previous game; its their property and I suspect they will release them themselves. Sorry I can't be any more help
are you able to find your steam folder. on your C:\program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\
[quote quoting="post"] I recently bought TPM 2012. There are not enough Democrats available. A few Republicans should be added as well. Some of the characters that you can hire don't indicate if they can be moved or not. This was incredibly frustrating to discover. Also some of the candidate traits seem to have no effect on the game at all. For example opening a community outreach center is suppose to increase minority awareness and appeal.&n
[quote who="LionDemocrats" reply="52" id="3203768"]I don't have Windows Vista so the instructions you sent me, whilst appreciated, are void. I have Windows 7 Home Premium. Also, you didn't explain how to unzip a candidate file. Can you please send me new instructions? [/quote] To unzip a file, you just need to open it with your windows explorer. I think windows 7 has built in zip functionality. Alternatively download something like WinZip or WinR
[quote who="LionDemocrats" reply="19" id="3203761"]Thanks for having two of my ideas for issues. Everyone can support tax cuts for Start Ups ,especially Democrats close to Silicon Valley. [/quote] Have you tried them out yet? I used them because they were a good example of new issues that I could add in to show people what its all about. I set them as one for democrat one for republican in order to get a game balance. [quote who="LionDemocrat
[quote who="Urall" reply="7" id="3203745"]I'd very much enjoy a world map, elect the President of Earth and such. It would be difficult, sure, with over 192 countries to compete for (perhaps exclude or simply group together the oceanic states?). [/quote] Once you know how to map, its really easy, so creating a president of earth map wouldn't be difficult at all. would probably take me 3 or 4 hours; I will be uploading a tutorial of how to map, once i get over th
[quote who="novafire" reply="6" id="3203639"] How can I make random events that happen that make an issue or two more important to voters and swing their opinion for or against the topic? Possible examples being a nuclear reactor meltdown, causing all states with nuclear power stations to care a lot more about the Alternative Energy issue, sea levels rise a drastic amount after an ice shelf collapses into the ocean making all states with coastline care more about the environm
From what I've discovered so far, I have no idea how they affect gameplay. However, I do know that having for example some of the endorsements do cause buffs in your state, for example you get better votes if you get the endorsement that supports women.
Update of my original Post. Hope you like the new image....I am aware that scotland is missing, I haven't mapped it yet. I will update the image once I have finished mapping scotland
[quote who="Zubaz" reply="1" id="3203487"]You know what would be fun? Middle Earth. Imagine how Sauron would handle losing to Aragorn.

Well if your interested, I'm working out the populations for each region, but the "electoral votes" will be worked out dependent upon how many constituencies there are in the given region. So similar to the electoral college system which matches the number of congressmen. So by winning a region, you will X number of seats. Whats interesting is how well it will work considering the executive is part of the Legislature. So effectively your fighting your parties corner rather than ju
To be perfectly honest, there would be no point copying them over, you might as well make them yourself with what you think they would be like. because the TPM '08 has different issues, so they will be missing some stats.

This is the first Mod uploaded on the site for TPM 2012; This will add two new tax issues for speeches and Tv ads ect, which will help you win those precious votes. These are the most basic forms for the issues, there are no states set as yet that this is the most important issue, but if, like me, you play with random issues turned on, this is likely to become a big issue. The two additions are: Corporation Ta
[quote who="liberalsentinel" reply="16" id="3203456"]Steam Library doesn't automatically update the game contrary to what the mods have said.

I've split the country into various regions rather than counties, the problem is that there are far too many counties for a comfortable gameplay, and far too few regions. So I have split several regions. the Only issue I'm really having is that I am limited by the basic shapes that the mapping uses, So I am looking at ways of adding more details. I have all but given up on the £ sign, which isn't a large issue because the $ sign is a universal icon for money,
Stardocks previous projects are unique works and should not be used by modders, it is up to stardock to release any maps they have made; And im sure they would prefer me not to break the EULA by distributing their work for free as a Mod. Besides, I have already finished my map of the UK. I am doing countries on their own, as Europe is not a sovereign state, and elections are way too complicated for the current engine.
At the current time there is no way of having more than one Scenario, I am working on it at the moment to see what I can get. So it is recommended you make a backup of any files you are editing or replacing.
I have actually put together a quick program in VB.net that enables you to edit the information directly, and also contains a mod manager, so that people can do things such as download a replacement democrat and a replacement republican party separately, without it overwriting the other party as well. The only thing I Ask of stardock is to add the drop down menu for scenarios from 2008 edition, so that I can add new scenarios rather than replace the existing game info
Ok, Lets deal with adding a new issue into the game. Be aware that adding too many issues to the game, with the limit of 100 points, will spread the views quite thin, so you might end up with all your characters having low views. Also, Only custom characters by default will have views on these topics. The Pre-Made Characters will have no stat on them, you can still give speeches and ads on them, but they will be classed as "no formal view" on the issue. Anyway, lets go: <
Ok this is part 3 of my tutorials, focusing on adding and editing issues (sorry to any admins, I am trying not to spam the forums, just trying to get the information some people are looking for out in the public) As usual, First lets find the files that we need to edit: The file can be found here: 64bit default: [C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Political Machine 2012\Data
