Also, here's a 1968 mod with just Nixon and Wallace:

Managed to steal Nixon's thunder as Wallace/Jackson in 1972. I doubt Wallace would've done this well but I ran as an anti-busing, anti-war but moderate on military spending, moderate on civil rights but reaching out to Black communities, pro-union economic populist (but anti-universal healthcare) who focused primarily in The Midwest and Appalachia.

Played on hard difficulty. Did find it kind of interesting that Snowe does gives a larger advantage in the competitive blue-leaning NE states than Huckabee does in the red-leaning Upland South/Tidewater despite the latter having more favorable presets all else being equal. Fortunately diving to the center on a stimulus package and dodging the same-sex marriage question was enough to reel in OH/PA

I think it's a joke. There's no way the maps are realistic.

As someone who views the subreddit of the game quite frequently, they can get quite meme-ish in there sometimes and this meme culture often finds it's way into mods. For example, in a 1996 mod version that makes the game more competitive Bill Clinton gets impeached for having sexual relations with a soccer ball. It's best not to question or try to take these kinds of mods seriously.

Also some of the mods are aesthetically bad or feel incomplete. Do any that you know of feel exactly like the base game?

I think 1996 is rigged in Dole's favor. I've never managed to get Clinton to win and it seems like Dole always wins in a 400+ landslide no matter what mod I'm in.

Huh

Is this a joke? I’ve easily won over 500 EVs as Clinton repeatedly on easier difficulties, and well over 400 on Normal.

I am attempting to defeat every Bush at least once

I just played as Dukakis as won with the same ticket as in OTL. Here was the map:

NPV Margin: Dukakis + 2.6%
States within 1%: Maine and Kentucky
State which had the margin closest to the NPV: South Dakota
Tipping Point State: Ohio

Edit: Have finished 1992.

I played as Clinton with this map


Margins: + 10 = safe, 5-10 = likely, 2-5 = lean, <2 = tilt

NPV Margin: Clinton + 2.3%
States within 1%: Nevada, New Jersey, Maine, Ohio, and Georgia
State that had the margin closest to the NPV: Tennessee
Tipping Point State: Pennsylvania



Vice President Al Gore (D-TN)/Senator Bob Graham (D-FL) 324 EV 49.2%
Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)/Representative Dick Cheney (R-WY) 214 EV 47.9%

NPV Margin: Gore + 1.3%
States within 1%: New Hampshire, Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio, Nevada went to Bush by exactly 1%
State the was the closest to the NPV: Florida
Tipping Point State: New Mexico



Senator John Kerry (D-MA)/General Wesley Clark (D-AR) 284 EV 49.4%
President George W. Bush (R-TX)/Vice President Dick Cheney (R-WY) 254 EV 49.5%

NPV Margin: Bush + 0.1%
States within 1%: New Mexico
State that was closest to the NPV: New Mexico
Tipping Point State: Wisconsin

2004 is definitely rigged for Bush.

Maybe this is a new version you're talking about, but 2000 exists on the regular, original Campaign Trail and I have prevailed as Bush there (Normal difficulty) on multiple occassions. I make it a challenge to win WI, OR and NH and have carried all three on one occassion (I've carried WI many times but OR's harder).

That's true, I feel like I have won as Bush-Cheney in 2000 on normal in the regular mode. I'm going to try now.

EDIT: Won 294-244, same map at OTL plus NM, WI, and IA, won popular vote by 38,000 votes 48.5%-48.5%. I guess you're right.

Yeah, I personally think Campaign Trail is more reliable / realistic in some ways than New Campaign Trail, so I use New Campaign Trail only to play mods that aren't available on the regular Campaign Trail. If an election year is on both sites, I'd advise using the latter as it seems to be generally better. That being said, it may be a moot point since Campaign Trail isn't working on my computer, so I have to play New Campaign Trail, not the original, for the time being. I don't know if it isn't working for anyone or if it's just my computer, but if Campaign Trail is working for you I'd advise using it for any election it has.
