Infinite Political Capital (Discontinued)

Description
With v1.129, you can now turn off Political Capital in the Options.

Since this does the same thing I was trying to do with this mod, I'll stop trying to fix it.

__DO NOT USE__

Doesn't work as you can't change political capital via modding (at least as far as I can tell)

Current workaround is go to :
Steam\steamapps\common\Democracy 4\data\simconfig.txt

Edit the 2 values
POLITICAL_CAPITAL_MAX_MULTIPLIER = 2.0 (Change to 200.0)
POLITICAL_CAPITAL_PER_MINISTER = 3 (Change to 300)

This increases the cap and gives you 100x more political capital than normal

Thanks for the info. Its all a bit beyond me though as I am a computer noob. I made a thread about it, hopefully the devs will make some in game options for it.

Thus the simplest way is to edit your own simconfig.txt (make a backup just in case) and change the values there.

You'll want to look at :
CAPITAL_FROM_EMERGENCY = 12 (How much PC you get from Emergency Powers)
CAPITAL_FROM_POPULARITY = 8.0 (Self-explanitory)
CAPITAL_FROM_MAJORITY = 25 (I think this is the 'election honeymoon' thing?)
POLITICAL_CAPITAL_MAX_MULTIPLIER = 2.0 (What determines max PC = PC per Turn * 2)
POLITICAL_CAPITAL_PER_MINISTER = 3 (Max PC per turn gained per Minister)

@Rommelthedesertfox

So the way the game counts your Maximum Political Capital (PC) is :
Max PC = Current PC per Turn * 2

The problem with trying to mod PC is that the only way I can see are :
1. Editing the simconfig.txt
2. Creating a new situation that works similar to Emergency Powers
3. Editing 'Emergency Powers'
4. Editing Popularity PC

1. Can be done on a user's end but can't seem to work via workshop. I think the game doesn't let you override stuff in original files.
2. This was what I tried to do with this mod, but it didn't do anything. Most likely because #3
3. This also can be done on the user's end (e.g. to make Emergency Powers start trigger at 0, meaning it auto starts giving +12 PC per turn) but not on the workshop end because also overriding. Also the number +12 comes from config.txt so this is likely why any other policy/situation/simulation trying to add PC does nothing.
4. Also located in simconfig.txt

@GGLoner Do you think you could make a mod which disables the Political Capital maximum? I find this really annoying, why shouldnt one be able to bank Political Capital??

With the new update, you can now turn Political Capital off in the Options.

Since it achieves the same thing as what this mod was trying to do, I'll stop trying to fix it.

The fact that we need this is a problem. I don't get why they just don't give us the feature.
