# Update History

*Note: New Updates for this game, regardless of type, will be posted first as soon as someone can add them. If the latest update is not added here, please be a kind soul and add it yourself. Be sure to add the date it was released and (if possible) a link to both a Social Media post and/or a direct link to the game’s website post on it.*

Most, if not all of the following text below, is copied from the various webpages they were found on.

Legend: If a header says “Update #.#.#”, it is considered an “official” update to that game. When it is a “Sneak Peak #.#.#”, that is a minor update to the game, usually adding more content to that game’s current election. An example of this is every 3.0.0+ Sneak Peak, which mostly were continuous updates for the 2020 US Presidential Election.

## Update 3.1.1

This update was released on September 12th, 2019, and was released for both Windows and Mac.

This update changes how the game engine handles undecideds (undecideds tend to move to leaning more rapidly), continues to update 2020 (adds latest polling, Republicans > adds Sanford and Walsh, decreases stats of various Democratic candidates, increases stats for Biden, sets Republican debates threshold to 25%, and more), adds a primaries news story after weekly public polls released that gives boost to candidate 1st in polls (if primaries competitive), decreases how powerful Ground Ops are, fixes a bug with %s in primaries, and more.

### General Update Notes

* Adds a September 10, 2019 start date.
* added ‘pop undecideds’ functionality (game engine treats ‘undecided’ as an unstable state, and ‘pops’ voters to a candidate with + momentum who is tied for 1st in their Favorability scores at a rate that tends to cause fewer undecideds)
* Constituency Screen > moved up and down buttons for leaders to right, made bigger

decreased how powerful Ground Ops are (Org. Strength x Footsoldiers), now if up to 7 days out is full powered, else up to 20 days out is 0.5, else up to 40 days out is 0.3, else up to 60 days out is 0.2, else up to 80 days out is 0.1, else up to 100 days out is 0.05, else up to 200 days out is 0.01, else is 0

### Primaries

* Primaries > added weekly news story after polls, gives + momentum to leader 1st in poll
* Primaries > fixed bug in %s if turnout was a low value for a region (%s would suddenly be split evenly between all candidates, then switch back to accurate %s)
