#DEMOCRACY 3 STRATEGY GUIDE FREE#
Tax hikes and toll roads have all but killed the motorcar and the money raised was used to build a national monorail system and get free bus passes to everyone. It's also one of those games that has no narrative, but you can't help but create one as you go.įor example, by the end of my first game I turned the UK into a socialist wet dream. However the fact it's very accessible might make it worth a try on sale. However if you don't like 'head games' don't expect it to win you over. If you do, Democracy 3 is simple, fast, rewarding and to the point, unlike many of its ilk. You probably know by now if you like that sort of thing. This is very much a head game, all statistics and numbers and links. The UI is so minimalist and so useful I can only just about believe it exists. Thus, you can track back the chain of reactions to the real 'source' problem, or to a policy you can change to improve a node several links away.

And if like me you prefer a more text based display, clicking the node gives you the same data in lost format and you can click the names of the nodes on the list to jump to them. This enables you to visually identify very quickly what needs to be done to improve a certain node.Ĭonversely, hovering over a 'source' node (such as a policy) can show you what that node influences- meaning you can get a clear idea of what will be effected if you change that node. The faster the flow, the more influence they have in that direction. After a few seconds every primary input into your GDP (good or bad) is highlighted. Say you want to improve your GDP, just find the GDP node (not always easy once you start enacting extra policies), and hover over it. Some nodes are policies that you can change (such as policing levels, income tax rate and so on), others are information (crime rate, oil demand etc). It's based on a system of links and nodes, each node effects other nodes positively or negatively. The game's simulation is very complex with many systems interacting with other systems cascading into more systems that overflow into. I don't think I've ever seen such a good UI.
