Player Power in Commander in Chief

The Player hits the ground running, instantly facing internal and external dilemmas. Every decision has an in-game consequence.

Internal decisions involve managing budgets, security, education, health care, deliberation over proposed laws etc Every decision you make will change the political climate. For example, raising taxes will generate criticisms and protests while lowering taxes will result in players having less money to implement other policies/actions.

External decisions involve military issues, global monetary and economics, trade agreements. Liaise with other Prime Ministers, Presidents, Monarchs and Dictators. Players can determine the course of world events by invading a neutral country, toppling an unfriendly regime or plotting assassinations. Be prepared to face the economic, political and military consequences.

Consult daily newspapers to gauge the public and International response to your policies, use your laptop or phone to communicate with other government officials or leaders.

Players have a choice of three different modes of play, “Free mode”: the player's objective is to remain in power as long as possible and to further his influence throughout the world. ‘’Missions mode”: challenges players to complete specific scenarios with different difficulty levels such as new elections, army invasion, energy crises, terrorist attack. ‘’Multi-player War Game mode’’: play solo or with up to 16 people online and confront one another in the course of military campaigns taking place in real time.
