Run a top-notch campaign by leveraging Political Arena’s real world data. Learn what issues drive your constituents to the ballot box, scrutinize the latest polls, and analyze the unique demographics of every congressional district.
Master the art of negotiation and become a Washington power broker. Navigate D.C.’s maze of special interests by analyzing the strengths, weaknesses and ambitions of your friends and enemies … even hold unfavorable information as leverage to gain concessions. Single out powerful allies -- the legislative leaders, the rising stars, the kingmakers -- and do everything you can to get on their good side.
Play the news cycle and try not to let it play you. Strategically time your actions to generate the most (or least) attention from the press.Announce your campaign, introduce legislation, and time campaign events when the media is least distracted -- or publicize compromising information when the public has its eyes elsewhere. Friday is a great time to announce that pesky IRS investigation into your spouse's finances.

I love a dumb pun and also playing for the lulz so I am more than a little excited to have Steam Achievements enabled for Political Arena. We werent originally planning to add achievements this early, but our first major feature rollout will be a lot more interesting if you dont max out your politicians skills (more on that rollout in the days and weeks to come) . IMO, the only real way to encourage that behavior is through ironman and achievementsso, here we are!

\nThere are only a handful of achievements right now theyre more meant to signify the types of achievements you can expect going forward: a mix of straightforward firsts (write a bill, pass a bill, etc), specific game events (Joosing) andanarchy (cast the deciding vote against your own bill).
