Gaming Trend posted their review of Ashes: Escalation and gives it a 90/100! "Well beyond simple DLC, Escalation polishes every aspect of the base game.

As the end of the election is upon us, I thought it would be fun to take a look and see how the current statistics of player data were going in The Political Machine 2016 . We have ‘Exit Polls,’ which consist of data that we collect from the game on things such as what candidates people are playing as, what party is winning in games, what issues are deciding the wins, and more.

Since there is some confusion, I wanted to make a post about this. Originally posted by  Draginol : Hi all! Sorry for the delay. I pushed the release date back one week.

When we released Ashes, we got a lot of feedback that the campaign was too hard (when it was first released). W...
