To make a speech, you choose up to four sound-bites from a prepared list. Speeches are a great way to make voter groups happy.without actually doing anything concrete. Unlike manifesto pledges, Speeches can be made in the 3 turns leading up to an election. This is good news as the election is due in one turn! Failing to meet our pledges will mark down our party as being 'untrustworthy' but more on that later. The box turns green, and the rosette icon on the slider is also green. We pledged to reduce this slider to 23% or lower, and we are currently at 17%. That image shows a policy pledge that has currently been met. In addition, you can also view the progress of them in the actual policy and simulation data screens: Once the promise is made, assuming you win the election, you can revisit that screen to see the progress you are making on your promises. Its not as good as really delivering those changes, but its effectively 'for free'!.
That shows you the effect your promise has had *immediately* on the voters. Note that in the start of the game, its assumed you made no promises before being elected.Įach manifesto promise has a cost in political capital, and an amount by which you promises to raise or lower a specific value (could be policy or simulation value) during the next turn. You have to ensure you meet the active (colored) promises before the election, and choose new ones (if you wish.this is optional) for the next term. There is a scrollable list of both promises you made before the last election, AND potential promises for the next election.
The manifesto tab is accessible from the main electioneering screen and looks like These promises are for the *next* term of office, on the basis that you promise to do certain things IF you get elected. You only get ONE chance to make these promises and it happens in the turn just before an election. Manifesto pledges are promises you make to the electorate in the run-up to the election. This now opens a more complex and larger screen than before, with some new tabs: Note you can disable a mod/expansion without uninstalling it if you want to load a saved game you started without the new features, or want to try a game without them.ĭemocracy 3:Electioneering adds a bunch of new features to the game, which are mostly accessed by the familiar 'parties' icon at the top right of the main interface. If the expansion is installed it will be listed here, and will be colored green if set active.
This screen shows you mods you have installed alongside the official expansions. To check you have the expansion installed correctly, you can navigate to the mods link on the games main menu: Democracy 3:Electioneering is an official expansion for the game, produced by the original developer: Positech Games.
