In the fun-but-buggy Android version, all new Supreme Court justices are automatically named "Unemployed".

Curses / Re: What is happening in your Liberal Agenda?

Yeah, it is just not feasible to display more different alignments using only colors. If more alignment types for political figures are added these would have to be displayed in a different way, probably by showing the name of their alignment using text. If these are relatively minor modifiers like Libertarian Conservative the easiest way would be to just mention this alignment once (using text) when that politician is being elected or appointed, and continue to use the base Conservative red for name color.

If you want the screen to always display everyone's exact alignment, this would require reformatting the screen to make room to list text descriptions of their alignments (perhaps splitting into more than one screen); I'm not sure this would be worth it but i suppose it could be an option.

IMO, an interesting and realistic twist could be to enable some modifiers like Populist and Libertarian that can adjust attitudes on several of the issues. For example a Populist Conservative could have attitudes tending to be further right than a generic Conservative (C+) on certain social issues (immigration, flag burning, etc) and attitudes tending to be further left than a generic Conservative (M) on certain economic issues (Labor Laws, Election Reform, etc). A Libertarian Moderate would tend to have C attitudes on economic issues and L attitudes on social issues.

This would work well for Presidential and Cabinet candidates and Supreme Court justices, enabling some slight individual variation from the Liberal and Conservative mold. Could also consider adding a few other issue-specific alignment modifiers like Religious, Paternalist, or Environmentalist to help mix things up a little.

What do you guys think?  ;D

Woww what a liberally awesome idea!  :) Would it eventually be possible to expose some more of the game data to modding by XML? I see there are XML files for Creatures and Loot etc (although there is some hardcoding there); other things that would be great to mod would be Activities/Crimes and their associated Juice and Heat values, and possibly Locations with tags referring to the Creatures and Loot encountered there.

Curses / Re: How do I capture or buy a safehouse in the Industrial Zone?

For me, in the Android version I was able to take control of the Industrial safe houses and Crack House after liberally spraying them with graffiti extensively enough. I also sprayed over most of the GNG tags but not sure if that mattered.

I love that LCS is on Android but too bad it's so buggy; I really hope this will continue to get updated <3
