Here’s another screenshot, this time of the Strategy Screen where I’m selecting regions for my recently created ad.
Again, you can see it’s similar to the user interface of the current President Infinity, except for a few icons that are different.
Another screenshot from the port – Strategy Screen
Looks clean! 🙂 the Map itself is what I am most curious about
Beautiful! Very clean UI
While I have not payed on my Mac for a while, I’d be all over an iPad version.
The new icons look very crisp!
Any plans to allow people to drag on this screen to select multiple regions?
@SirLagsalott, for what sort of action (ad selection?)?
Yes. The spam clicking required to select multiple regions, especially in situations like the UK with tons of close seats, is unnecessarily tedious.
@SirLagsalott,
Ya, I’ll make this easier once the port is completed. Perhaps bringing back a ‘Watchlist’ option and then an ‘Add all on Watchlist’. Perhaps some other options such as ‘Select all on screen’.
I have some ideas, with the senate trial taking place, you should limit or stop the sitting senators that are running for the dem nomination being able to campaign. Obviously we don’t know how long the trial will last or if they will do the same number of campaign events/rallies with the trial taking place. It’s just something you should think about doing after the trial. Also surrogates, you should include an option to make them automatic and to also pick a state or states to target, like for example if I want my surrogates to focus on Iowa or other early states.
Also, some people and groups have coendorsements, such as the New York Times or Labor Unions
Is there any way to model that?
And I noticed that there’s some weird thing going on with lower tier candidates surging out of nowhere, it’s not realistic at all.
Hey Anthony, I emailed you about paying with the wrong email for my game. Please can you reply and fix it? A waste of $8 is still a waste.
@MrRush,
I’ve been out of the office for a few days, will get to it soon.
@Lucas,
“Also, some people and groups have coendorsements, such as the New York Times or Labor Unions. Is there any way to model that?”
Not currently. It might make sense to add a feature that allows for two or more candidates to win an endorsement – we’ll see.

Good ideas – I suppose a scripted event option could be added to limit CPs or EPs for certain candidates. It’s similar with sitting Presidents – they’re busy.
Some people think presidential nominees can affect the turnout for Congressional candidates. Would it make sense to model that by picking the sitting president before starting a campaign in Congress Infinity?
No Iowa caucus prediction ?
@Rophil,
Did one over a month ago. 🙂

My best guess is Sanders will win.
@Lucas,
“Some people think presidential nominees can affect the turnout for Congressional candidates. Would it make sense to model that by picking the sitting president before starting a campaign in Congress Infinity?”
You mean counterfactually? No plans to add that feature.
If you mean add a component to CI that simulates a President’s actions, that’s an interesting idea but tough to see how to implement it. Perhaps have scripted events, but that would probably make sense to do in retrospect.
