Pre-Election Update for The Political Machine 2024 Released

October 30 - [SD] redskittlesonly | 0 Comments

Final major update to political strategy simulation updates issues and voter enthusiasm to give most accurate model yet

Stardock Entertainment released the final major update for its political strategy/simulation game, The Political Machine 2024 today. The new version adjusts the top political issues along with voter enthusiasm as of October 2024.

“We are seeing a lot of movement on voter enthusiasm,” said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock Entertainment. “The election is solidifying around a handful of key issues such as inflation, abortion and the border.”

For the enthusiasm update, Stardock has attempted to simulate the effect early voting is having on turn-out and how it might affect the election.

“It’s been challenging to have the game’s underlying model factor in voting that occurs over multiple days,” said Wardell. “But I think we are getting there. We will see how close we are soon enough.”

As for the game’s much-celebrated deep-election simulation features, where AI Donald Trump runs against AI Kamala Harris in pure sim mode, the outcome remains too close to call but with a slight edge for Trump.

“The model continues to call out North Carolina as a state we should be keeping an eye on. We are still investigating why it thinks North Carolina and not Pennsylvania is the linchpin state,” said Wardell.

Transform your empire with colossal structures that redefine galactic strategy and exploration.

Stardock is pleased to announce that the "Megastructures" expansion for Galactic Civilizations IV will be released on December 12, 2024. Players will have the opportunity to harness the power of stars to create monumental structures like Dyson Spheres and Stellar Gateways, offering new strategic options for late-game civilizations to turn the tide and achieve victory.

“Megastructures offers players the chance to think on a grand scale, allowing them to reshape their empires in innovative ways,” said Brad Wardell, CEO at Stardock. “We’re excited to see how players will utilize these new features to enhance their gameplay experience.”

Each Megastructure presents unique benefits and challenges, encouraging players to engage in careful planning and resource management. As empires expand, players will encounter new diplomatic opportunities and potential conflicts with rival civilizations.

Key features of the Megastructures expansion include:

Dyson Spheres: Harness stellar energy to power your empire and support advanced structures.
Ringworlds: Construct massive habitable rings that provide essential living space and resources for your population.
Stellar Nexus: A versatile Megastructure that functions as a command center, research hub, or trading post.

So. when can I buy the Sin of Solar Empire 2?

Is it confirmed SOASE 2 will release on Epic early? If so I'm out of this group and won't support this company anymore. I stuck with you exclusively through Impulse but you folded and I bult a library here. I'll be damned if you'll push me to start another.
