Bushwa777 Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Need some advice: I am doing my 1st Pres Election and while I think sheet does most of the behind work for me how do I: 1) Are the Pres or VP from a faction with the lobby card that relates to the state’s leading industry? +1 in that state if so (add +2 if they also have the matching expertise). (Cannot add more than +2, even if both members of the ticket have that expertise). See Industry Rules in the Miscellaneous Rules section for details. Are the Pres or VP from a faction with the lobby card that relates to the state’s *worst* industry? -1 in that state if so (subtract -2 if they also have the matching expertise). (Cannot subtract more than -2, even if both members of the ticket have that expertise). How do I find this out? 2) How do I figure out EC needed?

Arkansas Progressive Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Something I think I've noticed: I don't think anyone's using the popular/unpopular legislation section for points. To be fair: it's a long way down and I'm not sure if it's even in the game rules anymore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas Progressive Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 When starting out, many factions do not have interest/lobby cards (that are active) due to being below the minimum threshold. Do factions still get cards or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebrk85 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 If they have 5 pols of a given interest/lobby they would get a card. Whatever they have the most in (that qualifies for their ideology). If the faction has none with 5 or more pols only then would they not receive a card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwa777 Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 Question on civil war. Currently we put generals and admirals in charge. If civil war happens: 1. Do both sides do this? 2. What about if your faction splits? Do you get a chance to do both if say your president of us and Secretary of war for csa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to 3.0 if the Civil War occurs all politicians that join the movement are unavailable while the war is ongoing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPotatoTed Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 9 minutes ago, Arkansas Progressive said: events, leadership positions, improving crisises (govs/cab) Plus serving as faction leader, which is the main way. And being the protege of a kingmaker with command. Probably one or two others but those (Plus what @Arkansas Progressive said) are the big ones.

Umbrella Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 22 minutes ago, EYates said: Would someone mind clearing up for me how politicians can earn command points please? Here are all the ways I found: 1. 9th or 10th place get +1 to their first draft pick. That has a 1/6 chance of being command. 2. Career tracks have small chance of adding command. 3. Continental Congress president has 20% chance. 4. Committee chairs have a 10% chance. 5. Faction leader has 20% chance. 6. Party leader has 75% chance first time elected, and 25% chance after. 7. Secretary of State has 10% chance first time confirmed. 8. Military Leadership roles get 20% chance if major war is active. 9. Ambassadors get 10% chance if at war with their country. 10. Successful implementation of events have a chance for president and cabinet members. 11. Successful governor actions that aren't automatic have 10% chance. If this action improves a meter, the chance increases based on the size of their state. 12. A politician who proposes successful crisis legislation has 10% chance. 13. Successful filibuster has 10% chance. 14. Politicians who propose legislation that successfully move a meter have a chance, 10% for senators and 5% for reps. 15. Military personnel who win a major war have a 10% chance. 16. Winner of a difficult or medium battle has a very small chance. Note that losing a medium or easy battle has a small chance of LOSING command. 17. A military member winning the majority of battles in a phase has a chance. 18. Keynote speaker has a small chance. 19. Winning presidential election has 50% chance. 20. Re-elected VP has 25% chance. 21. Governors winning election have 33% chance if they already have command. 22. Senators winning a third term have 25% chance if they already have command. There are a couple more fringe options in the miscellaneous rules, but they are rare cases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
