Oh that's been my new favorite tactic. I said you'd get research and a vote. I didn't say it would be enacted or that we would build that...

I need to spend more time with it, but there is an unexpected level of nuance to that, isn't there? You can drag your feet a LOT, and you can promise a choice on the next law to be enacted or to research a technology without comitting to it actually being deployed. Accurately conveying democracy in a game is pretty much impossible, but I do like how well they let you play the policy delay game.

Yeah, I'm really loving having only semi control.
