The Revolution
In 2047 the city votes on giving the Steward the government. The vote is on week 12. "No" wins with Opinion at +15 that week. If the Chancellery postpones it, a petition from three Analog Assemblies can force it back.
Objective
"No" on the day of the vote
Stars
- Win the level
- Win within 10 turns
- No Lights Out
The game's hint Assemblies and the No campaign move Opinion; fakes move it faster, at a risk. The Feed forgets a little every week.
- Won
- The city voted No
- Lost
- The Steward won
The Law
Win "Yes", or postpone the vote (from week 9) and keep the Steward’s Power under 70 to the end of the year. While the vote waits, the Steward grows.
Objective
"Yes", or the vote postponed with the Steward under 70
Stars
- Win the level
- Win within 10 turns
- No Full Delegation
The game's hint The Yes campaign moves Opinion your way every week. Directives make you cheaper but feed the Steward: at 70 you cannot rely on a postponement.
- Won
- The Steward won
- Lost
- The city voted No
