I understand that the game is supposed to get harder and harder but this is moving past fun to down right irritating.
Can you please either get rid of the newspaper or stop the computer from being able to do things while its on my screen? I can't count the number of times I have missed an opportunity at a question mark because before I can move I am greeted with a newspaper and before I can close it my opponent has already got the advisor, moved it to a new state, and placed an ad in yet another state. Often I am unable to do anything before my opponent completely finishes his turn because of that paper.
Also, are the computer opponents held to the same financial constraints the player is? I am stuck on Clinton right now because I simply can't come close to keeping up with his spending. I just quit a game because in week 6 he had 5 tv ads, 2 radio ads, and 9 newspaper ads with only 5 HQ's. I was still trying to pick up states and BOOM half the country is in his corner.
I have tried everything I can think of from not moving until I had all the endorsements, which looked promising until Clinton finished the game with 12 TV ads and suddenly I was the also ran, to replicating his every move which I simply couldn't match monetarily despite having a user made player with just as high of a fund raising skill.
I like a game that gets more challenging but this is quickly becoming more frustrating than fun.
