Are the screenshots on the Political Machine 2012 site from the actual game? It has Romney vs Obama but I was hoping not because it looks identical to the 2008 version. I enjoyed 2008 but have been patiently waiting for its strengths to be built on and for Stardock to take it from good to great with 2012. This also gives me worry, from Brad's post - The Political
Are the screenshots on the Political Machine 2012 site from the actual game? It has Romney vs Obama but I was hoping not because it looks identical to the 2008 version. I enjoyed 2008 but have been patiently waiting for its strengths to be built on and for Stardock to take it from good to great with 2012. So I'm hoping TPM 2012 will not just be a repackaged 2008 with updated candidates and issues that also happens to strip out features from the previous version. I already have 2008, after

Well, nice to know the epic sandbox I've been playing since Monday is now rendered a giant waste of time. I suppose it's my fault for not checking the forum, but I'd looked over 1.06 and decided to take the risk and it worked perfectly. Who knew the 1.06 related update that popped up later that night would indeed wipe out my saves. A prominent notice with any future updates warning us it will invalidate any saved games and thus leaving the choice up to the players would be neat. (Although on
Thank you thank you thank you, especially in regards to multiplayer.
No way around it this is disappointing news. What really got me excited about this game and spreading the word was the expectation of playing long, epic multiplayer games with groups of friends. To find it will be watered down with missing features that are in the singleplayer is a bummer. I would rather occasionally be stuck watching a drawn out battles than not have them at all, we don't get into these types of games expecting to be done in a couple of hours (unless the computer ow
