Replenish your treasury through My party
Open Politics → My party and choose Raise funds to replenish your party treasury. To run an election operation, select an active contest, adjust Budget and Activists committed, review the expected advantage and influence cost, then choose Launch the operation.
From fundraising to a campaign operation
- Open Politics → My party to reach your party treasury, fundraising and recruitment controls. Start here when you need resources for an election campaign.
- Choose Raise funds to replenish the party treasury. Fundraising allows one action per calendar month, so plan around that limit when preparing for future operations.
- Set a recruitment budget to prepare an activist recruitment action. Consider what you want available for campaigning before deciding how much to allocate.
- Choose Recruit to bring in activists. Recruitment has its own limit of one action per calendar month; raising funds and recruiting are separate actions.
- Select the election you want to campaign in once its campaign is active. When several elections are underway, check your selection: parliamentary seats and elected executive offices are separate contests.
- Adjust Budget to set the party money committed to the operation. Treat that allocation as money you are preparing to spend, and consider what you want left afterward.
- Adjust Activists committed to set the activist contribution. Check this resource separately from your money allocation, because money and activists are distinct resources.
- Review the expected advantage and influence cost. An operation requires sufficient influence alongside money or activists, and a stronger campaign does not guarantee victory.
- Choose Launch the operation to commit the campaign action. The money, activists and influence committed to it are spent when you launch.
- Check your remaining resources before planning another operation. You must leave seven days between operations, and the next action still requires an active election campaign and sufficient resources.
Money, activists and influence have different roles
| Option | How it works |
|---|---|
| Party money | Raise funds replenishes the party treasury. Operations spend the money you commit, while fundraising does not replenish influence. |
| Activists | Set a recruitment budget and choose Recruit to gain activists. Operations spend committed activists, and recruitment does not refill influence. |
| Influence | Campaign operations require and spend influence. Its monthly recovery depends on party support and cohesion; keeping promises helps, while breaking them costs influence. |
| Credibility | Fulfilling platform promises improves credibility and influence. Breaking those promises damages both, making delivery part of managing your party beyond election day. |
Check which resource is actually limiting your next operation before choosing a response. Fundraising addresses the party treasury, and recruitment brings in activists, but neither refills influence. Keep your plans tied to the resource you need rather than assuming every party action solves the same shortage.
Why fundraising or another operation is unavailable
- Check whether you already raised funds this calendar month. Fundraising permits one action per calendar month, so another fundraising action must wait until the next month.
- Check recruitment separately. It also permits one action per calendar month, with its own allowance; do not confuse the recruitment limit with the fundraising limit.
- Check whether the relevant election campaign is active. Politics → Assembly → Upcoming elections shows the calendars for chambers and elected executive offices; prepare the relevant contest in My party.
- Check the interval since your previous operation. Campaign operations require seven days between launches, even when you have resources available for another action.
- Check influence alongside money and activists. A replenished treasury does not refill influence, whose monthly recovery depends on party support and cohesion.
Announce pledges and follow their delivery
Your platform can contain up to three commitments involving laws, taxes, spending or electricity capacity. Fulfilling promises improves credibility and influence, while breaking them damages both. Prefer targets you can realistically carry out, and review the conditions before announcing them.
- Choose a commitment in the platform editor from the available law, tax, spending or electricity-capacity options. This establishes what your pledge will concern.
- Set the commitment’s target to define the change you are promising. Choose a target you are prepared to pursue during the mandate.
- Choose Pledge for the commitment you have prepared. Keep the platform limit in mind before adding further commitments.
- Review the conditions and likely reception of your proposed platform. Use that assessment to decide whether the promises fit your plans.
- Select Confirm platform to announce it. The announced commitments are promises whose delivery the game follows during your term.
- Return to your party’s promises and report during the mandate to follow delivery. Use this record when deciding which commitments still need attention.
Announcing a promise does not change a law, apply a budget or build a power plant. Carry out the corresponding decisions through their respective screens. Follow delivery in your party’s promises and report rather than treating the campaign announcement as implementation.
Console money commands and party funds
The official command list documents treasury-money commands but does not document a party-fund or party-activist cheat. In particular, add_cash adds state cash and set_cash sets state cash. Use Raise funds and Recruit in Politics → My party for the party resource actions described here.
For a console explanation, help lists commands and help money explains the money command. Help and display commands preserve achievement eligibility. A successful cheat permanently disables Steam achievements for that campaign, and turning a cheat toggle off does not restore them.
