EDIT: DAUMEN HOCH AND RUNTER:) This Bug described below kinky my Game Score, which I was able to repair (had to load back a few (4) years.
Maybe it was because I set up a Transport Network with Austria ... Who knows:)
Fun fun at all times and if you can live with a little Bugs (otherwise nothing significant noted) can easily access here.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately ...
Until recently I was still good Things to give this Game a Positive Feedback, because it really makes you fun and also has enormous depth of Play.
But now, after several Hours Of Fun, I have also reached the Point that can probably be called a "Game Break Bug."
As far as my Situation is concerned: I started with Hungary and after several peaceful Years I began to Integrate Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria into my State. This worked wonderfully, the Economy was running and my Population grew steadily.
Then came 2030, everything was wonderful. But when the day came again when the Calculation took place (The Inga Values calculation update) I didn't come to the next Day.
I tried to load an older Game Score and simulate it beyond the Date. This worked and I was good Things again. Then, however, came this Freeze one more time, on another Date. And this was repeated. So the Game is no longer playable for me.
I really hope that the Developers here deliver Bug Fixes (which I strongly doubt, however) that the Game is a lot of Fun in itself.

Really difficult to write a Review to the Game ...
On the one Hand, it is an excellent policy simulation, which offers you an extremely many Possibilities and promises a very high Depth of Play. On the other Hand, we have a nearly inactive Developer who develops a Full-price Update every few Years and doesn't patch Bugs ...
Let's Try the whole thing a little structured: Pro's: ♦ Very good politics simulation ♦ High Depth of play with many Possibilities ♦ Man "shapes" his Country, Politics, one's own Party and one's own Future very independently ♦ good Feeling through many Videos too Television Speeches, but also to Events (Demos, strikes, even to Chernobyl, which is listed on the Map) ♦ Power grab both peacefully and At Gunpoint possible Contra's ♦ The Game runs when it goes, Reasonably stable
♦ Installation Files are incomplete (Game requires xVid, which you have to install yourself, E.g. here: Https://www.xvid.com/) ♦ Game crashed if necessary at the Start with Error Message "exceptionall _ access _ violation (Fix meanwhile homemade, see here:
Game Forum) ♦ Graphic Let's get to the Conclusion: Overall, it's a very good Game with Corners and Edges, which can be fixed with some Personal Work (see Solutions under Contras). However, I expect a Full-price Game not to have to do just that! In an early access title, such Errors may occur, but for one thing, I expect a Patch from the Developer and Participation in the Community even there. If you then fail at such points "at a Full-price Game" yourself, I think that is a great pity.
Especially since the Game really has potential. I just hope the Developer will involve the Community at the next Part and have an Insight. Maybe even release the Game as early acces and build it up with the Community.
So we currently have an unfinished, completely releasted Game at Full Price, which has a lot to offer due to the Concept and The Depth of the game and still manages to disappoint one somehow. It's a pity ...
Due to the Solutions that have now been found, I nevertheless make a Recommendation for the game, as it could captivate me enough to find Solutions to the Problems, which took 2 Days ... So the Game can't be That bad, can it? ;-)
