6/7/2023 0 Comments Police state democracy 3Once you’re assassinated, it automatically ends the game. This time I played about 2 hours (double the time of yesterday). I survived more assassination attempts (I think 4 this time) but one finally did take me out. I just kept increasing the police state & invasiveness of the surveillance in response but the tag-team was still too much. They also found another group later joining in to help them. Shortly after my re-election groups started to openly oppose me & like my prior game one threat became very high. But the security briefing also gives you a one-line intelligence read on any factions or extremists that could become a problem. Both positive & negative ones like what’s shown above. You’ll get quarterly reports that let you know about events. I had some major crises, but yet I made it through my first term & was re-elected. If I felt my ministers weren’t giving me enough political capital to horde (There were times I passed weak policies to save on it) I fired & replaced them so I could get more capital. The next essentially re-rolls you a turn. Getting your intelligence reports comes from the gun icon on the right corner menu. The above screen may seem daunting but this is how you can gauge your popularity & the effects enacting your policies have on people. I authorized drone strikes, wire taps, & armed police as my intelligence briefings went south. I took turns passing both pro corporation & pro people laws. This is Germany but you can see a screenshot of how you can set things up or yourself. I rigged it basically to two parties at completely opposite ends of the spectrum with high voter apathy in elections. My second play through tonight, I played at the United States. I had some hits from time to time on the budget & global economy but kept things well balanced. I received achievements for eliminating poverty & pollution & creating an egalitarian society. The third time was the charm & even though I was popular with 81 percent of the vote, I was taken out by this religious extremist faction just a turn or two before the election. I was extremely popular but my last three turns I kept getting assassination attempts. I refused to enact any spying policies & had weak intelligence on purpose just to see the result. This allowed opposition to rise up against me little by little. I’d say about 60 minutes into it, I started getting security briefings of an extremist group that started threatening me all because I made prayer optional in schools versus it being at the default parental request very early on. The first play through I played as Canada, I didn’t really make much of any adjustments at first, & I just passed & enacted policies I would probably enact. The more unhappy your cabinet becomes the more the loyalty goes down, & their capital, but replacing them might cost you one or two capital if they are on the verge of resigning so you can fire them with 1 and maybe get yourself 3 or more in place. You can also fire cabinet members with your capital as well, or you can strengthen past policies (greater degree of enforcement). The second play through I ignored it on purpose… I’d be curious to see if I could go back through those games & analyze & compare & contrast some of those states to see the effect of ignoring or enacting that policy had on other things…. Organ donation is an option under one of the options & on the first play through regardless of popularity I passed it because I felt it was the right thing to do. So in the example above, to enact this particular popular policy it will cost you all of your available 19 capital. You can also add wire tapping & some other unpopular policies.Įach turn you’re assigned a certain amount of political capital to play to enact these policies. This added content allows you to pass policies in relation to these like internet censorship, police drones or drone strikes, & also make church service compulsory for a few examples. They have social engineering, clones & drones, & extremism. I downloaded it as well as the extra packs for it. I was intrigued by the fact that there was a political sim game so I decided to give a try. I was looking for a few games I could play on my Macbook Air that wouldn’t use a lot of space or memory.
