How to play Shadow President
Game modes: single-player
You’re essentially in charge of the United States and must balance domestic needs with international relations. You’ll have to make policy decisions, manage crises, and sometimes take military actions. All the while, you’re trying to maintain public support and avoid getting impeached or causing global conflicts.
Here's what you can do:
- Domestic Policies: Keep the home front stable by managing economic and social issues. High inflation or unemployment, for instance, can lead to dissatisfaction and hurt your approval ratings.
- Diplomacy: Use diplomacy to improve or maintain relations with allies or adversaries. Strong diplomatic ties can help avoid conflicts.
- Economic Actions: You can impose or lift sanctions, grant foreign aid, or open trade relations. These actions can stabilize regions, but they might upset your base or other nations.
- Military Intervention: Deploy troops or carry out airstrikes when necessary, but be careful; this is costly and can lead to a backlash if things go wrong.
- Nuclear Options: Use nuclear weapons as a last resort, as they could escalate into global nuclear war, ending the game.
