Let it be known, actually really like the mod, obviously i haven't played it all yet, but its australian and its already night here so im gonna finish it tomorrow.

Two playthroughs in and i feel like the foreign policy aspect of the incumbency sim is very shallow. For 30 questions i think only 5 are foreign policy (two gulf war, nicaragua, post-soviet russia and free trade).

I think for the 1989 to 1993 period thats a pretty small amount that glosses over what would have been really important decisions for the presidency such as the immediete responses to both the Berlin Wall falling and Tiananmen Square, the Colombian drug conflict/Escobar, the Yugoslav war, the Algerian civil war, 1992 in Venezuela/Chavez rise to power.

Obviously all of this cant be included but i feel like a lot was missed.

Besides that, mod has been very good, i like it.

context on images:
first two - 2008 and LBJs economy. First is from wall street, second picture is from the 70s but its more a general question on how they handled the economy and how at fault each were for the hardships that came after.

second two - obvious i hope

third two - 1964 Civil Rights act (civil rights more broadly) and PEPFAR, essentially the policies that are near unanimously seen as good by each.
