President Forever + Primaries includes the 2008, 2004, 2000, 1992, 1980, and 1960 scenarios. Some of these scenarios have not been released yet, and will be automatically added to your game once they are completed.
Please define the differences between easy, medium an hard difficulty.
Hi orbops,
Easy, medium, and difficult fluctuate based on the AI implementation. Basically, medium and difficult computer players do more things than easy computer players.
I think you should have all GOP candidates in 1992 David Duke in 2008 have all third parties candidates like the Green and everything like that. 1996 should be there and that is it.
How do you download separate scenarios like “New Jersey Gubernatorial.” Also, is there anyway to have the data report from primary states the way it reports in the general election?
Example after Iowa happens it just shows the results…but is there anyway to take you to election night and have the data report and get a look at the counties and stuff?
Hi Sean,
To download scenarios, go to http://scenarios.theoryspark.com . There are instructions for how to install there as well.
No, there’s no way to have Primary elections show like the general election with President Forever 2008 + Primaries.
