    Kull-I disagree, for three main reasons:

    1. This would be an election scenario, and, as such, is blessed with replayability, with minor tweaks, for any national election. You could turn it out into the 1996 or 2004 elections easily...

    2. To my knowledge, the closest things done to this were the Modern Civil War Scenarios (New England, whole US, etc), and Dracon's Aussie Civil War...none of these, imho, were flops...

    3. If I did this, I would want a scenario to do with low expectations, because that is the real chance for greatness. No one expected ANOTHER good WW2 scenario when Red Front came along...no one thought OCC was possible...ToT seemed dead at first...these are the places you can rise to glory, not in repeating other's successes, IMHO.

    That said, I'd love to get together with, or hear from, anyone interested in such a project. Failing that, I'll try on my own

      If it has anything to do with the Election, than "low expectations" will certainly be a feature!

        At this rate, I'll be able to finish it, play-test it, and hold a survey to find out which side wins the election the most frequently...would be nice to see such power in the hands of civ fanatics

              No, it's fairly safe to say that bush has won, unless Gore should pull a miracle out his ass in contesting the results. It does not really matter what happens on Friday unless the court swings to Bush. (Cases do not drag along for a month in the SC... they get a day, tops).

                Stick to scenario discussions please. There's umpteen zillion versions of this "my dad can beat up your dad" topic on the OTF, if you feel compelled to waste your time.

                  Yeehaw, you really can buy an election!!!
                  (I'm overall refering to Bush, but the same would naturally apply to Gore). And freedom of speech? Give ol dubya a few months and I'm sure he'll try to take care of that Nuissance.

                  Using Electoral Votes as objectives would be great, The capitol would be the only city in each state, and the rest would be filled with population or fanatics for each candidate (although I feel bad for those who would actually be a fanatic for either of the major ticket idiots). You could have campaign tactics be special attacks. Ex. Gore could be the only one with spy units, and he could frighten Greens into joining his side using the bribe unit function. I don't know what the others could do, but I'm sure there's something!

                    James-Thanks for sharing those useful ideas.

                    Now if I can only lure K and Smash back into the on-topic discussion...
