Democracy 3

Why is this game so fucking bad? It's like the devs made it to where if you start to do good your entire economy crashes for no reason. It happened like five times even though I was lowering taxes and investing in small businesses the entire economy just dies. Also they really don't understand how trade tariffs work since all it does is kill your economy and provide almost no jobs.

that's some pretty discriminate bait

Go play the fucking game. You will bring the entire country together have the most educated and healthy people in the world the best technology and no crime and have come back from five stock market crashes only to be assassinated by liberals because they hate that you gave the police guns to fight crime.

0/10 shitty game

You gave the police guns user don't you know you are supposed to fight crime with hugs?

Also apparently giving the police and intelligence agency maximum funding and giving the police sub-machine guns does nothing to stop a liberal from walking up and shooting you which is fucking retarded.

...

Yeah that shit is also retarded if you don't let them in how the fuck are they rioting?

Take a guess.

Can i dismantle democracy?

Try Darkest Hour.

No you get killed by liberals for the dumbest shit and if you even think about securing your borders or encouraging nationalism you get killed by niggers.

I think you need to play around with the innate liberalism sliders at the start of the game. I don't know what they do but I'm pretty sure there's some configuration that means you can fix everyone's problems without pipe bombs raining on your limo. There's also tons of mods for it. Maybe one of those has the answer.
What I don't like is how some beneficial things become negative when their number gets too high.
I don't get it. They were fine with loving their country until I guess some people started loving it too much and like everything in the game, it pisses off the liberals.


How indeed. It's a mystery how race riots can happen with a secure border.

I have no idea, it was at least a year ago. IIRC I had no problems other than I gave everyone guns. Then, in a wonderful irony, the people who didn't want anyone to have guns because they were afraid someone would get murdered, got guns and murdered me. At which point the game bugged out and went to the "Game Over" screen instead of the "Congratulations! Nationwide Purge of Leftist Filth Begins. You are winner." screen. That was an immersion breaking bug, and I NOPEd the fuck out and never went back. At 100% Patriot approval and 100% Police approval, "liberals" should be getting deported back to Israel.

gee I wonder why…?

The really dumb thing is the only thing that makes liberals happy is to fuck over your GDP because apparently liberals don't give a fuck about good healthcare or education.

The only time I got assassinated was playing America. Its an easy game. I always ended up getting 99% or more of the vote. Are you just not good at spreadsheet simulators?

Protip: skip your first turn so you can afford flat tax that costs like 42. It will offset pretty much all your deficit and you'll turn a profit no problem. After that, work on education on "low productivity" while reducing crime. Community policing is OP.

Finally, focus on green shit and just get all the car subsidies and shit and environment wont be a concern. This wins every game.

That's the thing I got around 90% of the vote on my re-election but then the liberals killed me because even though 90% of the country voted for me liberals aren't happy because the police own guns and I wasn't taxing the rich so much that they all leave the country and take our GDP with them. Because apparently liberals are only happy when your country is burning down and don't give a shit about education or jobs or healthcare or anything.

Makes sense.
They can't convince everyone their policies are necessary unless the country's in the shitter.

You know that you can check the triggers for each terrorist group right? Gaia's Fist or whatever is Environmentalist so if you look at their demographics, you can see the largest issues they have contention with. Its not really about making your country the way you want, its abput stopping red bars from getting too big

There's also a way to grow or shrink the sizes of different groups. Cant get shot by a religious nut if there arent any.

It hasn't been like that for over half-a-century, and you know it. They can't convince shit.

>Can't get shot by a religious nut Muslim if there aren't any.

But user, its those patriotic racist hurting them minorities, that's why they're rioting outside your capital firing at you.

You see I did that and the only thing that was pissing them off was I gave the police guns. That's it. Then I looked for something else I could use to placate them and the only things I can do to make them happy was spend billions on welfare which I could not afford or make drugs legal and make underage drinking a thing and both of those cause so many goddamn problems that it's not even worth it.

Ive never had to give my police guns

Well I did because it's either that or spend 100x more on other bullshit that the liberals still hate but not as much. I guess I could do neither but then I have Mad Max crime conditions and that's not good for anybody.

The Bush administration ended with a financial meltdown, and the wars in iraq and afghanistan were a wash.
Things weren't on the level of the great depression, but they were bad enough to get king nigger the part of Herbert Hoover to what will hopefully be Trump's FDR.

You're not much more than textbook-wise on history. Aren't you?

Like all of my games in Simcity 2000.

Are you building 9 by 9 grids?
You should build 9 by 9 grids.

gay penis sex thread

oh no

Don't you know? Leftists warp reality around them so all your efforts to use reality on them are futile.

Sounds legit to me in all honesty.

very nice

Is Turkey in the game?

Are we talking about dicks?

I tried it in the reverse and things ran smoother. I think the game is hampered by the fact that the developers let their personal politics (left oriented) influence the viability to political ideologies in the game. I never tried a centrist position, that said.

Just play Geopolitical Simulator, mate
It's like Democracy but fun and even more schizophrenic


The only thing I'd fix about GS is that the liberal choices usually give you the best bonuses for idiotic reasons and that nofuns countries are considered safer than yesfuns ones

I prefer a shekel cleansing over another great depression and another World War for kikes.

...

What a shit game.

(Checked)
Look at the knock knees of the one on the far left (of the picture). It's gratifying to know that even if he (?) loses weight his legs will be permanently fucked.

Now that sounds like the ideal political simulator to me.

Okay.

What.


I was hyped for this game, then I pirated it and regretted it.

Glad I fucking did. You know there's something wrong when CIV allows for more realistic end games, up to a reasonable point.

Of course axes bear spears Satan, you can just cut off the ends :^)

Pretty accurate.

Seems like a spot on simulation if you ask me

What do you expect from liberal game developers who would never give conservatism a chance to succeed in the game?

It could be that the game has some sort of agenda. I wonder who made it?

...

...

Care to elaborate? Genuinely curious.

All I remember is that this is the dev that made that shitty Sim wannabe called Kudos(?), and that Democracy 2 stank of leftism.

At least it's canonical :^)

Fixed.

Axes can chop the spear off in half, doubling the weaponry for your unit but making it lose faith in the tool as he can no longer compare his own with his friends' so he just goes home
Have you ever tried to shoot a stick? It's very thin and uncomfortable, can't be hit directly unless you use extreme caution
It's hard to take objects out of the engines when they get stuck

Get out.

Most games use a top-down model of society. Tropico did that by categorizing people into borg-like interest groups with shared goals that influence their approval rating, which in turn influence the approval of the individual. The individual behaves according to their needs and their approval.

The problem is that it will just result in people imposing their politics on the model or achieve something nowhere near reality. Tropico did the latter but that was fine because it was only a facet of a larger game. You had to balance economics, policy, and infrastructure as well as politics. Democracy 3 does not as far as I understand it.

The only way you could convincingly build a game based around politics is by building each individual from the ground up and calculating the way they interact with society as a whole, basically making it DF-tier deep and DF-tier impossible to run on modern computers.

You just don`t know how do play the game. Idea is to play centrist for long as it is economically viable before starting to impliment policies that will decreese or increase size of those political groups.2 Easiest groups to eradicate within 10ish years are immigrants and religious. By drooping their numbers to 0 you essentially become free form ghettos and racism. Getting rid of the religious by increasing science spending (+space progame/mars mission) and chaining education on evolution you will eradicate. One you get rid of the religious you can play around the abortion laws, allowing you to pass more laws that would upset liberals/claw their numbers down. Slowly but surely you will either eradicate all religious,immigrants and liberals or conservatives, socialists or capitalists.

I was always able to "win" the game almost every time. By "win" I mean having zero debt, large tax income, high employment etc. And of course, manned Mars mission. Although I never won in Australia.

For some reason, I always end up having no ethnic minorities, no religious people, high tax. Police forces armed to the teeth.

Where the fuck do you think you get the money to invest? If government purchases exceed tax revenue, you're going to run a deficit. Keep that up, and your economy goes down the drain. So you can sit there with a lot of nicely developed small businesses and $15 trillion dollars of national debt.

Trade tariffs, (assuming this is on imports), add taxes on imported goods to both increase tax revenue and to discourage the importing of goods by your nation. This hypothetically instead encourages growth in your nation as it has to produce more of its own goods. This can also possibly lead to an increase in your national exports.

National debt doesn't matter at all as long as servicing the principal doesn't become a greater burden than the deficit bought you in gainz.

True, but most people don't know that. Haven't played the game, so I don't know if there's any sort of social penalty or something for having a deficit

Get the fuck out.

Any mods that fixes this leftypol shit?

Reality has a leftist bias.

>>>/israel/


Don't expect anything good from Antifa.


It's been a while since I played Democracy 3 but you manage approval ratings and budget, but not much else.

Then every other country's going to cock-slap your exported goods with a tariff, and your economy tanks as its purely domestic demand is swamped by a supply scaled for global teading.
Better to just give domestic businesses tax cuts instead, gets the same effect without other countries getting sick of your shit.

This is why I stopped playing. It's not a 'political simulator' or 'political strategy game'. If you take politics in a direction that the devs don't like, you fail and/or die.
Shit game.

From a purely gameplay perspective, it creates a balancing act scenario, where you want your meters to go up but have to pay attention to all the meters instead of just focusing each one in turn. From a political perspective, people like hating things. Think of it this way: If gays start making their own nightclubs, you don't even notice. If they start taking their boyfriends to dinner at regular restaurants, you kinda notice. It's when they start marching down the streets in leather chaps and pink boas that you start wondering where the fuck all these faggots come from.

Which goes for all political games

No it doesn't, it just makes big corporations and foreigners want to bring their cash into your country, create their own industries where they can exploit your workers and laws and export the shit out of anything produced, virtually taking away a bit of your economy. Tariffs work by making sure those individuals don't go around buying and foreclosing small businesses as they please.


Didn't Victoria II allow you to either be an enlightened leftist or a mean spirited colonizer with pros and cons for both or am I mixing titles

IRL people enjoy watching faggots, antifa and Holla Forums get their shit beaten in by police. It's a cathartic experience.

Talking about vanilla , no pretty much. Slavery is shit all things considered, you'll always want to outlaw slavery asap. Also if you don't pass many reforms you'll be fucked by rebels unless you're an illiterate country. Vanilla V2 has so little content there's not much to compare honestly. It's better than many other games, you can still play a fascist dictatorship if you want but it's not that great

Especially when it's sovereign citizens. Especially.

...

The media has a leftist bias.

Step outside, and you'll no doubt meet someone like-minded.

FTFY

Sport, do yourself a favor and look up the times in the 20th century when US tax rates were lowest.

Then, look at the times when they were highest.

Okay It's been awhile since my Highschool US History class, but isn't that the system of government that we threw out because it fucking sucked and put the Bill of Rights in it's place?

Yep, they threw it out after about a decade, IIRC. …But do you really expect MUH SOBBERN CIBIZUMS to care about minor details like that?

Awful bait

U WOT

That's how you crash welfare and everything else with no porfit

Because you need to bleed your citizens dry if you want any hope of a stable economy, at least if you're going by the Murrikan model and need to spend 70% of all tax money on the military so you can continue to rule the entire world with an iron fist.

I usually get 2nd turn Flat Tax and have a disgusting surplus, so I abolish all the other taxes at that point.

Never lower taxes. My country has never lowered taxes and we're an advanced economy with social welfare and excellent infrastructure. National debt is at a pretty comfortable 60% of GDP we have a triple A rating.

Lower taxes is something you promise but never deliver.

...

i played as germany fixing many of their crime and economic problems, you never manage to have a flourishing economy due to the global market ups and downs and the climate change, where the GDP is tied whit enviroment damage


Ecologist agenda, all the anons complaining about liberal bullshit are upset because the democles sword crushed their heads when they wanted to build their autistic facist trainwreck nation.

The game is too easy to be honest; even with complacency maxed out at -75% I can still get >90% of the votes with GDP, health, education, unemployment, crime, and poverty at their respected optimals, and only occasionally will the GDP go down if the world's economy hits 0. I can accomplish all of this while still having a balanced budget.

...

Superpower 2 was more complex, and you could invade people.

It's really, really satisfying seeing retards get their comeuppance. Especially when its from a patient and good cop.

Incredible how patient cops are in front of this filth.

Not even trying/10

The problem with this game is there is no corruption. Everyone is honestly out for their beliefs, where are the corporate and religious lobbies asking for favors in exchange for campaign money?

And your cabinet actually will leave your employ because they have a moral compass or disagree with your stances on issues. Like yeah sure, that really happened.

I was assassinated by corporations for lowering taxes in this game. Nothing makes sense

Just like real life.

Nah it's perfectly doable, and easier to run then DF. DF-tier would have everyone playing out their exact day to day interactions on every level, while a more realistic way in which politicking happens can be extrapolated on to a spreadsheet and animations and other shit would merely be aesthetic set dressing. The individuals in question can just be names and a bunch of tags that are only relevant to affecting their influence on politics, and these names simply go through a quick extrapolated set of interactions which in turn leads to mechanics of forming interest groups then you just have the rest remain top down. The "independents" group would simply be the default primary collective group of everyone in the landscape of all individuals in the city and interest groups would merely be sub groups that are branched from that group. The UI would simply tell you the interest groups are not branches and the independents group is simply never alluded to at all.

my friend had max approval, removed all crime through arming police with military weapons and giving everyone guns, and made america great.

He was assassinated by liberals for having gun laws be too lax.

I think this game is just a good example of how stupid liberals are.

What's that one old game where you were the American president with a "control panel" to interact with everything? Reading this thread made me remember I have yet to try it

Shadow President?

...

Gonna give this game another try. I recall that in vanilla, there were two or three policies (I think it was darwinism X creationism in schools and sunday shopping ban) that alone would cause your country to either be full atheist or full zealot if you didn't keep it mixed. I wonder if they fixed that ridiculous shit
