I am a big fan of the Game "Political Machine" but I am having a great deal of difficulty with gameplay, and it is getting rather frustrated. I was wondering if anyone can help me with the following issues:
1) My opponent NEVER seems to run ou tof money. He zips along ALL over the map, dropping Advertisments EVERYwhere, and not just newspaper ones but TV and Radio. How in the WORLD can he afford all this?
2) This one is the MOST frustrating: EVERY SINGLE GAME at the 20 week point (Half way there) EVERY UNDECIDED STATE ON THE MAP suddenly swings towards my opponent. How in the world can this happen? Can this be prevented? it happens EVERY Game! It is incredibly frustrating, because it SEVERELY reduces the ammount of work my oppoenet has to do to win the electoral votes. For example, if Bill Clinton is leading in Montana, why the hell should he have to visit, since it is supposedly a Republican Stronghold?
3) Do TV appearances REALLY make a difference? I do well almost EVERY time but it seems ot have no bearing whatsoever on the polls.
4) Does the VP candidate do ANYTHING useful? The answer is not in ANY Documentation! What factors should be included in choosing a VP Candidate?
5) How do you create your own Candidate? The answer is not in ANY Documentation!
6) Is there a comprehensive Strategy guide here or on ANY site on the Web? I have searched everywhere and found nothing.
I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me with my questions. I love the game, but it is becoming pointless to play anymore because it appears computer-operated opponents get a RIDICULOUS advantage.
