Impulse says the full version is available for me? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Hi! I'm sorry if this is a repost, I really did try searching relevant threads for anything like this. I opened impulse, and in the 'my games' section it says Demigod is available for download, version 1.00.045. I try to click on history and it reads like a readme file for the full game. I have a download limit so ill only be able to get this game once considering the size, so considering I haven't heard of other people getting the game i'm a bit hesitant to just start

I believe they make your speeches more effective in the given state.

Reply to How do you beat Washington? in Political Machine PolMach Forums

I beat him first go (keep in mind, I used to play pol machine 2004, so don't feel bad). The strategy I used was to start the early game building campaign headquarters and fundraising in california. Don't stop until you're earning at least 300,000 a turn, preferably at 400,000-500,000. While doing this, also establish two facilities that will give you 7 political capital and 7 PR clout. With all of this done, you should be institutionally established. Aim to get as many endorsements as

[quote]He did it to be safe and make sure nothing fishy was goin on and we should all be happy Iraq had no WMDs. But instead of thanking the man for making sure, he gets the countrys lowest approval rating because all the liberals want ALL PEACE ALL THE TIME. You shouldnt diss the man for trying to do the right thing, especially when the last Democrat president spent most of his time in office doin the wrong thing(You all know what im talking about).[/quote] Shorty if the costs

Reply to Easily the worst game I have ever had the misfortune of purchasing in Political Machine PolMach Forums

While it is more Political Machine 1.5 than Political Machine 2.0 (if you get what I mean), I love this game very much. And with a price of $20, I think it's great value.

I understand Boogie, there's only so much you can do on a europe map with a two-party system. To anyone interested, i've started work on the first mod. It'll be a "run for mayor" type of thing done in a fictional setting. I'm borrowing the drengi map, but every kind of stat is being overhauled to work in this more local setting.

Hardware Mouse option is not sticking in TPM Support PolMach Forums

Just thought i'd report a minor bug that is annoying me at the moment. Whenever I turn on the hardware mouse cursor in the options menu (I play windowed so it's important), it resets to off when I restart the game. Weirdly, all my other settings are sticking fine.

Reply to Way too biased? in Political Machine PolMach Forums

I don't think the game is bias. MAYBE the withdrawal numbers could use a bit of tweaking for independents, but when you consider that it's the only thing able to complain about I think stardock did a great job keeping any ideological inclination away from the game. For example, if you look at Barack Obama's stats they are quite high. If a programmer was right-wing and had no misgivings putting that into the game, Barack Obama's credibility and other stats would be lower I think.

Reply to Why I disagree with socialized medicine in Democrat PolMach Forums

In my opinion, people who live on reasonable salaries have zero choice. It isn't choice when you have 1000 options on paper, but can't afford any of them as they are all well beyond your means. Why is it impossible for alternative treatments to be available in an environment of state-run healthcare?

I've also noticed a clear bias towards players who play the game well. Appalling elitism!

Modding discussion in Political Machine PolMach Forums

Hi all, This game is so moddable! I've been fiddling around with all the folders, and most of the text/image files, and I think it'd be quite possible to make your own custom scenarios. However, I tried to do a test scenario, got all the text right, but whenever I load the game it still comes up as the nation of europa. I copied the europa text files, but I made my own state images, my own trace map, as far as I know all the necessary references to the europa map images were taken away,

Not sure mate, no crashes for me. It sounds like to be just your pc, or a bug affecting only some people.

Reply to Way too biased? in Political Machine PolMach Forums

If the game is anything near as moddable as 2004, it should be quite easy to make the independents think whatever you want them to think ;)

Reply to In PM 2008, how can you spend more than 100 pts on the issues? in Political Machine PolMach Forums

Hopefully it's a mistake, and not an attempt to cover up poor AI. I haven't bought 2008 yet, but one of the major selling points for me was better AI from the 2004 version.

I must say this is an extremely quiet release. No advertising anywhere, no mention on the front page about what is going on, and the only information about what/when is in a forum thread.

Reply to Nope-Still Can't Vote For Obama in Politics PolMach Forums

Gene I may come across as a starry-eyed Obama supporter, but i'm not really, i'm not even American. I do like him quite a bit, and would much prefer him over Mccain, but the reason I sound so worked up is the stupid thing he's being attacked for. I don't mind someone saying "I don't like his policy on bla bla bla", but all of this discussion about him being a secret muslim is just inane. And yes, my last statement was designed to be self-contradicting and pompous. So try not to call me
