Mini Rant about the US Presidential Election System.
.The US presidential election system is far too complicated. The fact this event tree was made is emblematic of the bad design philosophies of the mod. For reference, the tree goes about two presidential campains and primaries, which sounds good on paper. However, its not even remotely clear how these events apply to the final presidentail election result. This event runs over the course of a year, making it very difficult to go back and correct a mistake as any decision out of the dozens could have led to the wrong president winning. If you get the wrong president, expend to spend at least 20 minutes trying to get the right one. This event tree still has bugs in it, none of which would be present if it was a simple question of 'who wins the elections?' that allows the player to choose with reasonable amounts of information on hand. Instead, the devs spent what must be countless hours of dev time to script countless events that really only annoy a player trying to get their president of choice.

The mods utter disrespect for your time and patience as a player permiates every aspect of the mod and bogs down the whole experience.

From what I can tell from an hour of re-loading and trying different combinations, it is impossible for Alf Landon to win in this mod.

Yeah, definitely could have done a lot better if it had just followed the path other mods have taken, where you just pick who you want to win. Having the player go through an event chain where you run the campaigns of both parties is just pointless busywork.
