No anything will be work with this Mod.
Seems to be that you have to clear your Democray folder in your "My Games" folder.

@Gikgik

What a shame, that mod doesn't work. No matter what i did. it either doesn't show up in the mod list, or if downloaded manually, it will show up in the list but it won't actually be ingame anywhere, and i scoured all the policy trees and never saw anything involving a palace. :/

It did work once, ..Once. wtf happened? is this mod incompatible with a dlc or another mod or something?

Use the Democratic Decay mod.
It contains a Palace policy.

I tried refreshing the content, redownloading the game but nothing.
can someone help?

That's a good idea!

A variant of the Palace policy has been added to the Democracy in Decay mod. There, it's the poor people who despise the Palace.

"Socialist and fascist dictatorships, as well as conservative monarchies, have had lavish palaces."
-Author

I'm sure they did, but did their socialist citizens lack opinions about these palaces? I doubt they liked the notion.

This is an issue of wealth, not liberty. The game seems to "map" things along these two different axes, weatlh allocation and social freedom.

A government that labels itself "socialist" (or anything), can still have very anti-socialist policies (or any policy against the government's self appointed label). An expenditure on a "palace" seems even more likely to be swayed by personal satisfactions and reallocation of wealth to the wealthy (anti-socialist and anti-equality, not anti-liberal).

To claim that this is anti-liberal would be to imply that taxation itself is anti-liberal. While I would concede this philosophically, it isn't in line with the game's mechanics and terminology.

Cool, but socialists should be more upset than liberals. It's an issue of wealth allocation, not social freedoms.

Socialists should oppose this policy, not liberals, since it doesn't inpinge upon anyone's freedoms.

I keep getting assasinated, this will be a nice thing to have.

One thing I learned through this game... fuck the liberals, everything they want is destructive to society.
Angry Video Game Noob 4 Nov, 2014 @ 10:27pm 
I think this diсk enlarging policy should only improve tourism, upset all the male straight part of nation, and piss off liberals with socialists.
Hadur III 3 Nov, 2014 @ 10:10am 
Good one. Also socialists should not like.
D/D/Dexter 26 Oct, 2014 @ 10:51am 
I think this policy should also piss off Socialists

I'm playing with most of your mods enabled. Everything is fine until I want to enable the "Palace" policy. CTD everytime

The Palace budget represents all kinds of government-owned buildings, monuments and parks. Maximum spending on the palace represents extravagant spending on government real-estate, with extreme levels of luxury, decoration and security. Introducing an expense that is less than 1 per cent of the total budget, adds very little to the game.

Socialist and fascist dictatorships, as well as conservative monarchies, have had lavish palaces. Liberals, be they economic left or economic right, oppose material privileges for the political elite.

Make the palace cheaper, and why are Liberals made mad by the palace?
Kairon Woulfgang 30 Aug, 2014 @ 8:23pm 
I just thought of a good mod that might complment this one.
foreign embassy.

The prevention of assasination with higher spending of the palace needs to be increased, significantly. Especially with the technology nowadays, you can only try to assasinate the Head of State when he's somewhere outside the palace or his official residence.

Update 1.20:
* Cost reduced by half.
* No longer affects frequency of Patriots.
* Some benefits are now regressive (diminishing returns).
Gikgik  [author] 11 Jul, 2014 @ 7:49am 
The maximum setting for the Palace slider is "Forbidden City". It corresponds to the Forbidden City in Beijing, covering 72 hectares (100 soccer/American football fields).

I consider making an update where the Palace is slightly cheaper, and making the benefits more regressive.

Wow, that is an expensive palace; unless the price tag includes hi-tech killer guard robots posted 24/7. 99% assassination protection(?), unless they're planning on nuking your palace. I guess you could always build a nuclear shelter underneath it.

It should upset the Socialists also.
