Democracy 3 Africa

I have recently revised Africa 3, to update my initial review. When it first came out, I blasted the game for : - Being a blatant money grab, as the D3:A is basically DLC at the cost of a standalone game, when even at its best could barely count as an expansion pack. - Ridiculously imbalanced assassinations. - Lack of proper integration with other DLC and mods – everything is done through the Democracy 3 menu, which...

As the leader of Kenya, I brought my country to economic greatness, banned female genital mutilation and made women and men equal in my society.

Although that perhaps sounds slightly sinister the truth is that Democracy 3: Africa is a very...

There's plenty of things to say about this game. Most of the reviews that have come out today, or will come out in the future, mostly say the same thing: "This game should have been a DLC." I agree, but since that will be the narrative of the other reviews I'd like to talk about everything else. First: the content from the original. Most of the original policies are duplicated here, with only minor changes. But the...
