Player Progression
This is the office ladder as a click path, not a story. You hold one office at a time.
Phase 0: you just spawned#
Dashboard shows Independent, no office, 25 actions, ₳250k Campaign Funds, Favorability 50, PI 0.
Do this: Create a Character leftover clicks, then Getting Started.
Phase 1: build (still no office)#
As an Independent you enter the independent primary rather than a named party's primary. You can also Campaign, Fundraise, buy ads, run polls, Support/Attack, Barnstorm, influence NPPs, and publish news.
Target before you file: PI 40 to 60, Favorability 60 to 70, Donor Level 3.
Phase 2: join a party#
- Open Parties.
- Open a party close to your sliders.
- Join.
You immediately get primary access, Party Influence accrual, a share of the party action pool, and leadership races later.
Switching later hits Favorability and PI and resets Party Influence.
Phase 3: first primary#
- Open Elections. Filter home state / region, low office (State Senate, House, MP, MdB).
- Open the race. Confirm the primary window is open.
- Quick Poll.
- Declare.
- View Campaign. Spend Campaign (PI), request NPP endorsements. Do not attack same-party rivals.
Highest primary score per party goes to the general.
elections
Phase 4: first general#
Same race page, now with a live tally. Final ~4 turns are ~30% of the pool.
- Keep PI up with Campaign every day.
- Ads to hold Favorability 65 to 70 (above 75 wastes money).
- Endorsements matter more than in the primary.
- Log in hourly for those last four turns.
campaign
Phase 5: you won. What to click#
Profile shows the office. New nav: legislature, bills, maybe cabinet.
- Legislative office: open the chamber, vote, propose bills (10 AP plus NPI per provision).
- Executive: nominations, sign/veto, country tools.
Bonuses (on top of 4 base AP):
| Office | Extra AP / turn | Extra funds / turn |
|---|---|---|
| House / State Sen / MP / MdB / Sangiin | +1 | House ₳5k / State Sen ₳3k |
| Senate / VP | +2 | Senate ₳15k / VP ₳25k |
| Governor | +2 | ₳15k |
| President / PM / Chancellor | +4 | President ₳50k |
| Central Bank Chair | +3 (stacks) | (see country hub) |
Non-US offices grant the local equivalent. Country hubs have the exact table.
Phase 6: go up#
You cannot stack elected offices. Win the next race before this term traps you, or wait it out.
Typical US clicks: State Senate → House → Senate → Governor → President.
Parliamentary: win a seat → party leadership → PM/Chancellor after the chamber result and confidence.
Presidential races are NPI races. Build NPI for many cycles before you file.
Your first week#
- Party joined.
- PI climbing with Campaign; Favorability 60+.
- First low-office primary identified and polled.
- You are not filing Senate/President as your opener.
- You know which screen is Dashboard vs Elections vs Campaign vs legislature.
legislature
If you are not in office#
You can still run the whole campaign loop and a corporation. You cannot write or vote bills.
Corporation path (optional, later): Corporations in the nav.
