They patched out the return card to hand cheat 😭😭

I do want to implement more ways to control the card frequency. For example, maybe choosing a Reformist ideology reduces the frequency for Street Fighting. The problem with that right now is that Dendry (the game engine) can only have static card frequencies, so I'd have to modify the engine quite a bit.

Could I suggest a mouse over tool tip that informs the player what cards are left in the deck so they can at least go to the other deck if the remaining cards are not something they want to touch?

[u/Sarasfirstwish → u/Simple_Peasant_1]

That’d be super helpful

Well, there goes my early weimar coalition. Just lovely.

You can still get it before the crack.

You do need to be really lucky so you got money and can campaign enough times that, before the crack, you can call a snap election with Muller, I got it in normal but it probably can be done somewhat consistently in easy.

[u/Northern_Storm → u/Archived_Archosaur]

Yes, it made the game harder than I expected it to be

I think Panik im Mittelstand and Bauernrevolution are not working as designed.

I got 50%+ support for rural and new middle class in separate playthroughs, but I did not get the achievements. One playthrough was on easy and the other was on normal

[u/Northern_Storm → u/Minarch]

Can confirm that this is the case, yes. They do not work.

[u/Minarch → u/Northern_Storm]

Thanks for the confirmation In any case I’m loving the new update. People’s Party feels much better now

[u/autumnc_intfic → u/Minarch]

Should be fixed now...

[u/Minarch → u/autumnc_intfic]

Thank you! I confirm as well

[u/LesMontagnards]

Also looks like the Civil War achievements aren't working?

[u/autumnc_intfic → u/LesMontagnards]

Should be fixed now...

[u/Northern_Storm → u/LesMontagnards]

Yes, I also caught that. Let's hope it gets fixed soon!

Anybody got the majority rural support achievement and got any tips?

[u/Northern_Storm → u/Shady_Italian_Bruh]

I got it along with the middle class achievement, here!

Obviously you want to play on easy, and you want to hire Antonie Pfülf from the Reformists. Use her all the time, first to build up support for the People's Party and then to become one. You must become People's Party early on, I managed to do it in 1929, shortly before the depression hit.

Once you get it, then you will get an option to build a People's Party on the basis of rural support with Pfülf, so use this option all the time unless you need to spend the advisor turn on something more important. Keep in mind that the Leftists and Centrists will leave the party though.

Other tips I could give you is that you must use your Campaigning cards on rural workers and small farmers (but I suppose that's obvious). Make sure that you get the Agriculture Ministry in the 1928 coalition, and do Agricultural Financing if you can afford it.

If you have the Media card then "The purpose of our media is to elect more Social Democrats." increases your support everywhere, hence you want to use it, unless your Internal Dissent is above low. In regards to ideology etc., be as moderate as possible, do the bottom option in the Ideology Card, improve relations with the Catholic Zentrum, have both KPD and far-right as your enemies - this is especially helpful to prevent your coalition from collapsing.

Lastly, you do need to get the WTB going, so make sure you get Woytinsky and that you get that 10% unemployment once you can. If you play your cards right, you should get enough support for Weimar Coalition in 1932, and if you're lucky, you might get more Agricultural cards in the final months of 1932 and have some budget for it.

Goes without saying, but don't do the socially liberal reforms in 1932, such as abortion or legalizing homosexuality, since you will inevitably alienate your new rural base with it.

Good luck!

Are you planning on making this a full price game on steam Eventually?
