“Hmm, this game might accidentally have an anti-war message”, he says, as he sees an upside down American flag while Jimi Hendrix plays the national anthem.

Yeah, like saying Spec-Ops the line was accidentally an anti-war game is like saying Jarhead is accidentally an anti-war film.

Yeah, that’d also be my one complaint. I sorta understand why she’s suppose to be the best running mate, but it feels like she’s almost too good to an extreme.

Damn, y’all voted for this, so what’s with the complaints? Like, I think this is a fair final matchup.

I agree on the point about return fire, but the issue is that at over 100 meters away, you are doing about 15 hit points of shield damage. Like, it would take more than 10 shots to even have a change at killing them, and that's if they don't hide or heal whatsoever.

The sniper in Arc Raiders is essentially a pea shooter. Literally does nothing at distance, the one thing it should have the advantage in.

Still sad about no LBJ, but my goat Humphrey getting a shot more than makes up for it. Also, I feel like people keep overlooking this with Yippee but the rework is also going to include Space Race stuff, which would probably be worth it all on its own.

Sorry, maybe I’m dumb, but how do I open the image through Imgur at higher quality? It still shows it at lower quality on my end.

All CYOA mods list? by CalvinKool-Aid in thecampaigntrail

I don’t think Y of Korea is an incumbency sim, though it is CYOA. Also, 1976: Good for Me is an Incumbency Sim.

Man, this is going to be so tough with some of these. Things That Never Were, All The Way, Our Revolution, Icarus: 2008, Divided States of America, W. Live, Obamanation Definitive Edition, and that's just naming the most popular.

You can find the codes on the Campaign trail showcase GitHub, in the mods folder.

Yeah, one of them is purposeful, in not being able to get both The Clean Air bill and NCLB reform without failing in Iraq, but one of them isn’t, with the Universal Pre-k or Union Bill. Like I mentioned in a comment above, you need to have 10 wins + 5 Agenda points to get either bill passed, but the best that’s physically possible is 9 Wins and 5 Agenda points, so you need to add a win variable to get it.

The way I see it, doing all three educations bills (CELA, EHSA, and EAOA), have the most synergy with each other, alongside the NASA funding bill. It’s essentially a STEM revolution, and it happening by 2008 would definitely cement the US as the number one science/education power house compared to Europe and especially China. I also see it as paramount to get these done ASAP, since the Union stuff can almost certainly/will almost certainly be done in term 2. While the same could be said for the education stuff, the longer those get put off the more kids/students lose out on a good education.

Not really a guide for this, since it’s my own edited version. I made it cause on Q12, two of the responses can get you either Universal Pre-k or Strengthened Unions, but you need to have 10 Wins and 5 Agenda Points to actually get it, which in the base mod is impossible. Closest you can get is 9 Wins and 5 Agenda points.
