that, sir, deserves +1 karma!

I realize it is late in the development cycle to be asking about this and/or possibly making suggestions, but I'm curious if The Political Machine 2008 will possibly deal with duplicitous candidates. For example, with the issues that pop-up and must be dealt with in some way, lets say that you choose to use an approach that pleases the electorate in Ohio but would do so at the expense of voters in say Mississippi and causes them to shift more of their support to the other candidate. Will PM2008 offer that sort of subtlety, or more of a straightline choice A results in a gain or loss nationally and not so much regionally or locally??

You can give speeches and take out ads that only affect a particular state. Similarly, some issues are only significant in certain states (farm subsidies, help for seniors, etc.)

I hate saying this- but I see controversy potential- National Association for the Advancement of Colored people will offend some people heavily. A lot of Blacks take offense to the world "Colored" to describe them, as it was used in the South heavily in Jim Crow days, and was also used in Apartheid.

It doesn't offend me, but it would cause controversy- I'd recommend changing the name to something else.

Please don't get into a row over this- I just don't want Stardock suffering a PR black eye.

"National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" is the official name of the NAACP. What would Stardock change it to?

Don't know- I could be wrong honestly. I just see some of the more activist friends of mine with hair-trigger activist senses going ballistic. That would be bad for Stardock business-wise.

Some people deserve to be offended.

Seriously, if they're going to get in a tiff over the funny name of an organization mirrored directly off the real NAACP, they need to pull their heads out of their asses and see the world, rather than spend all day with their faces glued to teh intarwebz.

If there's one group I really dislike, it's activists who get pissed off over things that don't matter.

Hey Frogboy do you think that you and the other developers can add some other Galciv leaders?

I hope Stephen Colbert puts you on his show, that would be some great advertising! The game looks great.
