Popular Post MrPotatoTed Posted July 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2022 Hi all! This will be a single-player playthrough, 1772 through the future. Our single player will be @10centjimmy, for as long as he is able to do so. I will control the other nine CPU teams.@10centjimmy will be starting with one of the Red Moderate/Conservative teams. While he works on his draft list, here is the blue team's draft. I'll give them generic names for now, until it comes time to choose faction names. BLUE ONE (Mod/Cons) George Clinton Robert R Livingston Elbridge Gerry John Hancock John Sevier Richard Bassett John Page Alexander McDougall Paul Brigham John Milton John Archer John Hanson George Muter The Man, The Myth, The Legend: Daniel Hiester John Mathews Samuel Allyne Otis Ethan Allen Horatio Gates Joseph Stanton Jr John Hiester Benjamin Guerard Arthur Middleton Richard Montgomery BLUE TWO (Lib/Mod) Ebenezer Hazard James Sullivan Peyton Randolph Mesheche Weare Moses Robinson Richard Caswell Cornelius Harnett Peter Muhlenberg Return J Meigs Jr John Hart Gunning Bedford Jr Samuel Ashe Henry Southard William Smith Christopher Gadsden Philip Livingston Robert Brown John Collins Lambert Cadwalader John Paul Jones David Bard Johann De Kalb Robert Howe BLUE THREE (Trad/RW Pop) Thomas Jefferson Patrick Henry John Tyler Sr. Charles Scott George Mason Thomas Heyward Jr Samuel Maclay Theodorick Bland William Maclay Daniel Boone William Preston Squire Boone James Madison Sr Francis MarionJeremiah Van Rennselaer Abraham Yates Jr William Grayson Michael Jenifer Stone John Lambert Thomas Barbour Aaron Kitchell John Barry John Penn BLUE FOUR (LW Pop/Prog/Lib) Samuel Adams Hugh Williamson Thomas Chittenden Elias Boudinot James Warren Arthur Fenner John A Treutlen William Montgomery George Bryan Melancton Smith Amos Singletary Jonathan Ingersoll Jonathan Grout Thomas Paine John Smilie William Ellery John Patten George Taylor John Smith Richard Bache Thomas Burke The only President to ever balance the budget, Francis Lightfoot Lee Thomas Stone BLUE FIVE (Cons/Trad) John Dickinson Richard Henry Lee Josiah Bartlett Thomas Tudor Tucker Edward Telfair John Page Nathaniel Niles Anthony Wayne Alexander Gillon William Floyd Andrew Pickens William Preston Benjamin Harrison V Robert Yates Thomas Sumter Francis Willis Timothy Bloodworth Lachlan McIntosh Thomas Nelson Jr James Clinton Cornelius Schoonmaker John Williston Hugh Mercer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umbrella Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Been lurking for several months, and I was wondering how that first draft goes. It looks like each faction starts with some people already. Is this pre-determined, or they randomly assigned? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like each faction starts with some people already. Is this pre-determined, or they randomly assigned? It kind of works like an expansion draft in sports. Every politician active at your start point will enter the draft pool and you'll have an opportunity to draft them. Or you can have the CPU do the draft for you. Once everyone has been drafted, the game begins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like each faction starts with some people already. Is this pre-determined, or they randomly assigned? Much like WilltheScout described above. Just one more point: using default rules, each faction/player is assigned 2-3 starting ideologies. For example, the Conservative-Moderate faction can only draft conservatives or moderates from their party. You can only draft other ideologies if you've depleted the pool for your starting ideologies. This rule can be turned off if you don't mind things like a faction being made up of Bernie Sanders and Joe Manchin on the same team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 @10centjimmy’s got my ancestor Richard Adams Jr and some close cousins Dana and Trowbridge. Also 4th cousin to John Adams. Trowbridge and Dana are something like 1st and 3rd cousins respectively. Generations removed, of course. Richard Adams Jr is a direct ancestor. He was in the Massachusetts colonial legislature during the Rev War and was a delegate at the state’s first constitution. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPotatoTed Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Red3 will attempt to relocate James Wilson from overpopulated Pennsylvania to underpopulated Georgia. He fails. Red4 will attempt to relocate Robert Morris from overpopulated Pennsylvania to underpopulated Georgia. He fails. Red5 will attempt to relocate William Moore from overpopulated Pennsylvania to underpopulated New Hampshire. He fails. No other move attempts.
