Murrman104 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Honestly I don't think Kingmaker is op. For every great roll you have 4 kingmakers with no traits, no interests and 1 bad XP (take a look at my crowd in the 1916 playtest). I have something like 6 Kingmakers of them 1 will give pretty amazing rolls most of the time (William Jennings Bryan) , 1 is a high risk high reward ( Bill Haywood who can give stuff like Controversial or Iron Fisted etc) and 4 who really give nothing bar the election boost and maybe an XP . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwa777 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 So question, I am looking ahead planning my next moves. Currently my faction has (at least I assumed Taft, Dirksen, and McArthur as faction leaders). But the rules say only 1 faction leader? Or can I have more?

So you can only have one faction leader at a time and there are pre-requisites for who is eligible (ideology, interest, exp, traits, etc) From a quick glance at your sheet, and you may want a Red to double check, I believe your only eligible option for Faction Leader is Robert Taft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see 1950 start on Tuesday 🙂 Love the enthusiasm but not likely to see 1950 elections quite that fast. I will be part of that problem this weekend as I work a split double shift tomorrow so not likely to be able to make much progress until Sunday afternoon. But the rest of the week after that I should be good. I will get us to the next phase before I go to bed though.

ShortKing Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 This is the first playtest I have been a part of that I did not have the military-industrial card.
