Democracy 3: Africa

Stability Issues

I was lucky enough to get this title during the recent pinata sale, which I was very excited for having played the first Democracy 3 for many hours on end. The first thing I encountered however, is the game repeatedly crashing on me whenever I advanced my turn. I was able to work around this by changing from fullscreen to windowed mode, and to a smaller resolution. I very happily then played through my first scenario. If you played these in the past, its pretty much the same deal with some slightly different tweaks to various personalities, groups, and overall population beliefs and behaviors. The game, for the price, is definitely worth it. However... After my first scenario I logged out and didn't revisit the game until the next day, when, while still in windowed mode, I encountered crash after crash after crash whenever I advanced my turn. It's for this reason that I have only given the game two stars. These issues, at least according to Google searches, have existed for quit a long time, even the patch notes have fixes for crashes while advancing the turn, but sadly, these still seem to exist in at least the GOG version of the game. I would say avoid for now.
