![]() (Not many are in a position to gamble that their fortunes would be better with the country sliding further into disarray that another leadership change invites.)īut you're absolutely right, Rayne has to give enough reason to conservative nationalists for enough of them to believe the Far Right Wing is unnecessary and untrustworthy. By election time when it's obvious he's a historical force to be reckoned with, they've had time to swallow the deal and discover it was a palatable price to pay for the broader stability and safety he produced. So long as he's not driving opponents into each others arms, especially the military and national police, then their distrust of each other and lack of better options encourages them to concede the day, write it off as just patting a naive dreamer on the head, and just wait for you eventually self destruct like almost everyone else does. That's a miraculous legacy for 10 year in office.īut when I think back on it, this country was in a perfect storm of upheaval, and I think the ever present fear of everything falling apart at the seams was enough to make it hard to tell Rayne "no" when he wanted to cut gordion knots. I couldn't cough up suspense of disbelief by the end of year 4 on the playthrough. I agree the reform agenda accomplished for a first term was incredible. It is true, that "you can't please all the people all of the time". though, so maybe that made it much easier (let's just say that I thought it best to not investigate any of the Oligarchs.).īut yes, the utter failure of my Rayne to manage to appeal to the Bluds (despite seemingly effortlessly winning over practically everything and everyone else with it seems no issues at all) definitely served to bring my ego back to Earth in time for the election. I agree though, in that this - like most (possibly all) situations in the game actually played out, I think, quite logically for the most part - although having said that, I was quite surprised that the very first game, I was able to pass significant (albeit modest) reforms with a pro-western, free market system, end up with a maxed out economy, no war (due to ATO), end up with improved healthcare and medical (despite only maintaining funding for both), and ultimately got elected with no issues. Bravo.but you don't have to oppress them to get re-elected. This was a great bear trap by the writers. And it was all so predictable but for the fact I let all the "Mr. I really made a fool of myself, and did it publicly. Boy I sure felt bad I got that kid killed. I showed up thinking I could start to smooth things over, without being foolish and forgoing security. Originally posted by Hayde:Exactly what happened to me. I think they were really angry about having "their" language not used in schools any more, so after that I had no guilt about being more "forceful" about integration. I actually expected the no-security one to either work better or, if things turned ugly, end up much worse - but for me the outcomes were surprisingly similar. Both times I ended up running from the mob, but no one died in either case either. Though I didn't end up getting anyone killed - I did it too different play throughs, once with security (I didn't expect "with security" to mean being surrounded by a cordon of armed soldiers, and wearing an obvious bullet-proof vest - so in retrospect not that surprised that had a negative effect), and the second time with no security. ![]() That last point - it's probably true, but it didn't HURT and after that they deserved retribution. Which quite possibly helped sooth the worries of all those people who were against all my modernisation, privatisation and pro-ATO plans. I took that as a sign that the Bluds enjoy being oppressed, so after that I gave them their wish. Goes without saying that things didn't go so well. My plan was to show that despite supporting some potential atrocities across the border, and also making a law that Sordish schools should teach non-language subjects in Sordish (because that's the National language, seems like a no-brainer), that I didn't hate them or want to wipe them out - I just wanted them to integrate and not be terrorists. Originally posted by MoreEvilSquid:When doing an otherwise successful democratic reform run (that didn't "help" with Bear Trap directly, but did close the border to assist in Wehlen's anti-terror activities), I decided to show up to this ceremony.
