What was the idea here?
>game is called democracy
>you play as a dictator (there is no parliament nor cronyism)
>doesn't depict any personal gains from a lobbyist (you can't be corrupt)
>name party the Socialist Workers' Party
>cut taxes and welfare spending
so basically Blairism
>what‘s the point
It’s literally a spreadsheet simulator, in the most literal sense.
Man, I was so disappointed when I first tried this game and saw that that was all it was.
>OP is Ameritard
>Didn't even play the game, pretending part of content is missing
>Can't imagine any other political system than the American one
Go on, pass bunch of upopular reforms. Go see how that works for your re-election and how it affects your cabinet
Wrong on all fronts
>its da amerimutts
Meds now
If you actually played the game you'd know none of what you said contradicts OP.
Game is pretty easy, unless you play some really fricked up Nation, and there aren't really many ways to play the game if you get what I mean.
Haven't played democracy 4 since the demo. Does the game still have a "liberals" group that is both pro gun and pro affirmative action? Pretty much quit right there because why would I bother playing a game about politics by someone who seems to have no understanding of politics.
A liberal stupid voting group because it is so broad. I'd prefer something else like "progressive"-group
I can't stand Cliff Harris as a developer, all of his games have a gimmick but end up being shit and boring within 2 hours.
What a literal who developer, looking at his list of products other than the op series i only recognize gratuitous space battles
Isn't Big Pharma quite popular?
I appreciate his blogs, guy is an idea guy and a yesdev. Agree his games always kind of miss the mark in the fun department though. He seems to make things more for himself than anyone else, but is still fairly successful. Which is the definition of based.
Maybe he already knew it or wanted to learn it. Or maybe it has some desirable features on the game engine side, aside from the rendering pipeline.

Well, they build a custom engine for Democracy 4
sounds like they learnt an important lesson

I've never heard that element of based-ness put so fricking well.
Shit game. There really isn't much more to say about it.
It's just an extremely barebones replication of the political system. Since basically the only thing that matters is how laws and society interact with barely any random aspects there is always an optimal to go for which is just give people as much welfare as possible without losing money. Then in the end you always loose because rare metals continously increase in price with no cap as far as I've seen. To be fair that part is pretty accurate though.
This game taught me that it's hilariously, trivially easy to constantly keep GDP going up while also improving the quality of life of all citizens
I wonder why they decided to make this game with Irrlicht Engine a 3D engine, the game doesn't use any 3D graphics.
>Max education spending
>max healthcare spending
>raise taxes to 50%
>every other policy irrelevant
>Being a dumbass and raising taxes
>Not becoming a tax heaven
>Not investing the tax heaven money into your rural areas so your GDP grows even more
Only problem with being rich is that you can't outright ban immigration cause the game is made by morons.
The problem is that GDP has a limit so there's a point where you HAVE to raise taxes because GDP simply won't go up anymore.
