Suggestion: On top of an in depth in game archive to show all previous and current politicans, eletcion results, administrations, etc. an end of era summary (Points scored, election results chart, etc) would be really nice. 

Also not to mention in the archive former SCOTUS case results, who voted on what, Law passage results, wars, Events etc. 

For text simulation an absolute KEY is history tracking.

That is something that makes FootballGM So enjoyable, an otherwise very simple game.

Agreed,   Sports games like you mentioned, I often find myself checking current players against all time greats or record holders.      
I think it would be nice to have something like you all do In the play test at the end of a decade or era and list out some top 10’s (or more in a historic ranking) - top overall, but also drill down to top governors, congress, generals, etc.     rank for that time period and also all of history.

I'm now up to the year 1803 in Scripted Events, using the historical dates. 

• French Revolution can now end with the restoration of the Bourbon Dynasty. 
• Another thing I've been doing is adding a section below the descriptions in brackets that gives some of the history of what actually happened. It's generally only a sentence to fill in a detail. For instance, in a game, Hamilton and Burr might be dead before the Bank of Manhattan is created. Therefore, the event gives the details without the names. In brackets, I might say, "[Historically, Burr created the bank to break the banking monopoly held by Hamilton in Manhattan.]" or something like that. 

One thing I should do, just to balance things out a bit is have more events that score points for Traditionalists, LW Populists, and RW Populists. This will probably be something I do much later, however.

Created an event that allows Napoleon to declare war on the US and invade America.

The Louisiana Purchase can now repeat if it is failed or defeated, so long as the events for the scripted event are met.

I'm pretty sure there already was one, just flagging in case it's duplicated now.

There's two that can pull the US into the Napoleonic War, but I've converted one of these for a land invasion by Napoleon himself. There's also the possibility of Napoleon invading if he is rescued from Saint Helena. 

[vcczar]

Added an event for if Bribe Napoleon to Pressure Spain to Sell Florida occurs. In the new event, it is possible that a leak of this bribe occurs and damages the incumbent. This is similar to the event I created that does the same if a bribe is given to Talleyrand to avoid the Quasi-War.

[vcczar]

Just to give you an idea of how long its taking to do this update, I'm on scripted event 117 of 1,641. It's taking about all my free time to get 50 of them done. I'll have to do Legis Props and Actions after this. 

I'm hoping to figure out a way to delegate this once we get the KS funds and I can figure out the payment per project. What will be difficult is that I can't fathom anyone else being able to go through these events even 10% as fast as I am. What's most likely going to happen is that I'll have to do this, and delegate other things. I might be able to school one or two people that have a lot of time. I would require 50 of these to be done a day at a minimum to get payment.

The Tecumseh's Confederacy event now allows for the possibility of Indian Sovereignty if war vs. the Confederacy is avoided.

Is there any similar situation for the Council of Seven Fires?

Not as yet. I'll add it if there's demand. The "Indian Sovereignty" is basically a blanket policy to accept tribal lands as sovereign. So it would be included. It basically blocks out Westward expansion so long as it is recognized. 

[vcczar]

The event "British Capture Washington DC" now allows for the chance of the president being captured. If captured, the VP takes over until the war ends or the captured president can negotiate a surrender. 

[vcczar]

Now at Scripted Event #146. I'll stop here for today got a lot of other work to do. 

[vcczar]

Era of Good Feelings (event #149) is no longer 100% guarantee for an increase in econ stab, dom stab, party pref. etc. It's now 75%, which means there's a chance one gets all the effects, some of them, or none of them. 

[vcczar]

The US-Canada Treaty (historic 1818 Treaty now can lead to war against the UK. If the treaty is not signed, then OR, WA, ID, MN, and ND all become disputed territory and there's a 25% chance of war with the victor gaining rights to these lands.  

[vcczar]

If the US does not acquire Florida quickly enough, it is now possible for the UK or France to take Florida from Spain. 

[vcczar]

Panic of 1819 now has a chance of of being less or more severe, rather than automatically going to Economic Panic. That is, it could be a reduction of -1 or -2 or 0. 

[vcczar]

The President can now actively interfere and stop the Compromise Proposals in the Missouri Compromise event if he/she has disharmonious. 

[vcczar]

It is now possible for the Republican Party to never be formed and the Whig party to last longer than it did historically. 

[vcczar]

It is now possible for other name changes to parties, but it is rare. It often depends on some fringe president with both houses of congress under their control. 

[vcczar]

So the parties can now evolve into Green, Libertarian, Populist, Socialist, Communist, Fascist, Progressive, Dixiecrat, etc. parties. The president has to have a lot of requirements to convert the party and it's still only a 10% chance. However, if it does, there is a massive ideology shift and trait gains to make the party become that party, but it also results in a lot of people flipping away from the party. These aren't really party changes anyone wants for winning the game, but they are interesting what ifs.

That percentage should be adjustable by the economic situation, political and social stability, and excuses for extreme policy from external threats (real, imagined, or exaggerated) to be be directed domestically, at that given time, on top of just standing ideological shifts. Basically, catalyst conditions to manufacture sudden such shifts.

Yeah, I might add other conditions later on. I sort of have to pace how I evolve the game so I don't get bogged down in one area for too long. 

[vcczar]

I've now on scripted event #200. I'm trying to get 50 done a day.

People love this btw. I imagine a scenario where a Populist Party forms and then an almost Democratic-Republican coalition forms against them (Party flips) 

[vcczar]

I'm now up to the Bank War (Jackson administration). Crazy how quiet the 1820s are in regards to foreign affairs compared to the insane 1790s, 1800s, and 1810s.
