I was kinda wondering about this. What if a bit more RPG aspects where added to his play.

goes to the church more, increasing religious, but decreasing something else. Or if seen at the casnio, or pub, the religious wouldnt like as much..

give speaches drunk, Increasing the crime, and less respect of intelctuals, or perhaps have public excusions..

Id love to see more of this style play have a bigger effect on how the island veiws you. to me something like shooting someone at a speach would have an everlasting effect. Same with el predentie is constantly at enterinmment and never having visted a church, or clinic.

My point is, could the things you do have a more larger effect over time? Not just the simple, boost production slightly, or bandaid fixes they are now..

I think this is a great idea Tropi'je!

While it has been cool to run El Presidente around in T3, simple boosts to production are fine but more actions to perform with him would be great.

I think Kalypso/Haemimont could also easily "game-ify" (see gamification...it's all the rage these days) El Presidente a bit more, for instance you create a fairly basic avatar at the beginning of the game and can unlock various abilities, outfits, speeches, and other easter eggs as you complete each island mission or get achievements.

Having your own little island kingdom that can be unique each level is great, but this could add some consistency and carry-over from one island to the next as you build El Presidente into the awesome ruler we all know he is!

Thank you for mentioning:


The technique can encourage people to perform chores that they ordinarily consider boring, such as completing surveys, shopping, or reading web sites.

Perhaps Haemimont could "gameify" reading the manual. It has been done in other games -- it's called "In Game Assistance." T2 has a little of it.

Personally, I think Gamification of some phase of a game sounds a lot like adding suspenders to a hula-hoop.

The purpose of the presidente visiting building, is a temp way to increase satisfaction/entertainment/production. Making it complicated would NOT make it more fun.

It's not about making it complicated computertech, it's simply about giving us, the players, more options for El Presidente.

The feature of running him around is incredibly simple now and could be a great platform to add a few other cool things for him to do. Personally, I loved getting the achievement where he awards a medal to a general at the armory, so any other thing like this where Presidente can interact with our island a bit more is great.

Some of my ideas for this:
- Presidential parade
- Rallying/commanding troops in battle (NOT RTS, but him leading groups of soldiers rather than running blindly into combat with his pistol only to be wounded)
- Meet & greet (rally hosting or even him just stopping to interact with citizens as he wanders around)
- Crime/Liberty speeches (temporary boosting of liberty or lowering of crime in specific areas where Prez gives a speech/hosts a press conference)
- El Presidente earning outfits/bonuses based on achievements and beating levels (as mentioned above)

Anybody else got any good ideas for things you'd like your Presidente to be able to do?

I would agree with some additional things to do, but not as suggested earlier (like minus in one faction to increase another). Little more speech options at the palace.....able to talk to the people if clicked on.....
