Voting Systems+ (DLC REQUIRED)
A revamped version of the latest dlc for Democracy 4, "Voting Systems". If you thought some of the policy effects were underwhelming and existing policies/sim values weren’t connected enough to the new systems, this is the mod for you.
COMPLETE FEATURE LIST:
- Everyone is more upset when their voting/donation rights are infringed upon. These two actions are the primary way to create change within a democracy, so it didn’t make sense to me that they were only slightly upset about these rights being infringed upon.
- "Democracy" is affected at a higher rate (both positive and negative) with almost all policies provided in the DLC. There aren’t nearly enough inputs to "Democracy" in the game, and it didn’t make sense that restricting voting would only reduce it by a few percentage points.
- When you set "Phone Voting" to "Forced", it now reduces the happiness of retired people and also reduces their turnout.
- "Voting Campaign" increases "Voter Turnout" at a lower rate. I saw this more as one of the social-engineering-type policies due to its extremely low cost, so reduced its effect accordingly.
- Low "Education" results in a more apathetic voter-base. Conversely, high "Education" results in a more engaged voter-base.
- "Phone Voting" now increases youth happiness.
- "Prisoner Voting" now slightly increases "Voter Turnout".
- "Youth Politics Council" now increases "Youth Turnout". I figure that participants in this program are far more likely to become politically engaged once able.
