This update focuses on three core pillars: stability, political depth and replayability.

🔧 Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements

  • Fixed several reported issues affecting gameplay flow.

  • Corrected inconsistent behaviors in specific events.

  • General performance and stability improvements.

🌍 Improved Translations

  • Texts revised for clarity and consistency.

  • Corrections to previously misinterpreted or unclear phrases.

  • More natural localization for a smoother experience.

🎲 Increased Event Randomness

  • Greater variability between playthroughs.

  • Less predictable event outcomes.

  • More possible combinations during a political term.

The goal is to ensure that each campaign feels different and forces players to adapt their strategy.

📰 Press Meetings (New Feature)

You can now face journalists directly. Answer difficult questions, manage public narrative and control the media impact on your popularity.

Political communication is now a strategic layer of its own.

🏛️ Party Congress (New Feature)

The Party Congress has been added, allowing you to:

  • Make key internal decisions.

  • Reinforce your leadership or face internal tensions.

  • Adjust your party’s ideological direction.

Internal politics matter as much as external governance.

📜 Amendment System (New Mechanic)

A new amendment mechanic has been introduced, allowing you to:

  • Modify laws before final approval.

  • Negotiate strategic changes.

  • Adapt proposals to the political context.

This adds greater tactical depth to the legislative process.
