The Campaign Trail: Post Your Maps!

[Calthrina950]

I played as Trump, with Scott Brown as his running mate, and I sought to hurt him as much as possible. This is the scenario that was produced:

I've been working on a scenario based upon this game, but with an alternate Democrat in place of Hillary Clinton. And I've posted two threads, with questions. Still haven't gotten any good responses....

How can I see the county results?

There's another link here: http://fiction.wikia.com/wiki/File:Map_of_the_2016_Election_Detailed.png.

That link includes various sizes at which you can view the results. And a response to one of my threads would be greatly appreciated.

Give it up. Pick better scenarios.

Why would I give this scenario up? What "better" scenarios are there?

Make scenarios that aren't just you making maps of you losing at games.

It was actually my intention. I've been trying for a while to create a landslide scenario in which Trump is defeated. I deliberately sunk him so I could get state-by-state breakdown of the results, along with the percentages and so forth. I have made other scenarios not based upon Campaign Trail games.

Okay, so here is a 'hack' I found a month or so ago.

I'm the guy who got the ridiculous world record for Donald Trump on Normal. (all 50 states including DC, Popular Vote at 99.87%).

basically, I found a way to adjust the difficulty weightings for each setting.

Step 1: Pick any scenario, Presidential Candidate, and Vice Presidential Candidate

Step 2: before you select the difficulty setting, right click anywhere on the browser screen and click 'View Page Source'

Step 3: CTRL-F "difficulty" - you should get to this line. Copy that line

campaignTrail_temp.difficulty_level_json = JSON.parse("[{\"fields\": {\"multiplier\": 1.1, \"name\": \"Easy\"}, \"model\": \"campaign_trail.difficulty_level\", \"pk\": 1}, {\"fields\": {\"multiplier\": 0.97, \"name\": \"Normal\"}, \"model\": \"campaign_trail.difficulty_level\", \"pk\": 3}, {\"fields\": {\"multiplier\": 0.95, \"name\": \"Hard\"}, \"model\": \"campaign_trail.difficulty_level\", \"pk\": 4}, {\"fields\": {\"multiplier\": 0.9, \"name\": \"Impossible\"}, \"model\": \"campaign_trail.difficulty_level\", \"pk\": 5}]");

Step 4: Right click anywhere on the browse and click 'Inspect Element' . Go to the Console.

Step 5: paste the difficulty setting line onto the console, but before you press enter, feel free to adjust the numerical value of any of the difficulty settings.

For instance, if you want to make the game so effortlessly easy (basically, you have mind control powers on the entire nation), change the 'Easy' multiplier as follows

campaignTrail_temp.difficulty_level_json = JSON.parse("[{\"fields\": {\"multiplier\": 1000.1, \"name\": \"Easy\"}, \"model\": \"campaign_trail.difficulty_level\", \"pk\": 1}, {\"fields\": {\"multiplier\": 0.97, \"name\": \"Normal\"}, \"model\": \"campaign_trail.difficulty_level\", \"pk\": 3}, {\"fields\": {\"multiplier\": 0.95, \"name\": \"Hard\"}, \"model\": \"campaign_trail.difficulty_level\", \"pk\": 4}, {\"fields\": {\"multiplier\": 0.9, \"name\": \"Impossible\"}, \"model\": \"campaign_trail.difficulty_level\", \"pk\": 5}]");

note how I changed the number from '1.1' to '1000.1'

Step 6: Play the game on whatever difficulty setting you adjusted. Laugh at how ridiculous the results look like. If you don't want to interfere with the Hall of Fame results, just stick to adjusting the 'Easy' difficulty multiplier.

Using this trick, I've won games as George Wallace, Ralph Nader, etc (all 50 states too). Notably, if you do this in the 1860 scenario as Lincoln, you still won't win any of the southern states because he isn't on the ballot. A funny glitch occurs though where one of the other candidates gets negative electoral college votes.

I'm not sure how to do this. I have Google Chrome, and despite my efforts, nothing appears to have changed. How exactly this shortcut work?

Seems to work in Firefox.

I was given a tutorial video for this hack on AlternateHistory.com that works for Chrome. So I know how to use it now.
