Alpha 7

Alpha 7 is now available to all kickstarter and late pledge backers!! In the past weeks many new features have been added and tons of elements improved. Starting from the possibility to create custom parties. The complete changelog can be found here.



Germany



The country comes with proportional electoral system and the optional possibility to have candidate preferences. Seats of the house are adjustable up to 500. In future there will be mixed electoral systems as well and each country will be able to switch to new systems.



In parliamentary republics and constitutional monarchies, the government needs the support of the majority of the parliament to enter in force. After elections, coalitions may be formed to reach this goal. Motions of confidence can be asked by opposition as well.



Localizations



The game now supports localizations. Some incredible guys already started working on french and portuguese. If you want to fan translate the game please get the information on our discord server in the #translation channel.
