What to do after filing
For a live campaign, start with rallies and advertisements because they create campaign points. Raise campaign cash before ads when needed, target the voter group and issue fit you expect to perform best with, and poll to check whether the campaign is moving. Lobbyist endorsements can add periodic support later, but do not replace direct campaign actions.
How support is allocated
For each county and voter group, every candidate receives a score from accumulated campaign points plus biography points. The group’s voters are divided among candidates in proportion to those scores.
Biography is the starting foundation
Biography strength is a weighted combination of all ten skills. It is multiplied by the candidate’s affinity with that voter group, with a minimum affinity of 1, then multiplied by 10.
Campaign points build on that foundation
Rallies and advertisements add targeted campaign points. Because voter allocation is proportional, the same point gain has a larger effect in a close or low-score contest than when an opponent already has a very large lead.
Mechanics
How results are calculated
These rules come from the game calculation. Live market values and event-specific settings can still change the final result where noted.
Biography strength
Rule
10% Charisma + 8% Communication + 10% Creativity + 7% Networking + 5% Performance + 15% Leadership + 12% Analytical Ability + 12% Financial Acumen + 10% Resilience + 11% Technical Proficiency.
- Biography points = biography strength × voter-group affinity × 10.
- Affinity is treated as at least 1 for this calculation.
Voter share
Rule
Candidate score ÷ total scores for all candidates in that county and voter group.
- Candidate score is campaign points plus biography points.
- The resulting share is multiplied by that group’s voter count.
- Final election computation prevents a negative score from creating negative support.
Worked example
If candidates score 600, 300, and 100 with a 10,000-voter group, their expected shares are 60%, 30%, and 10%: about 6,000, 3,000, and 1,000 voters.
