Megalomania
Being rich is fun and all, but do you know what's really fun?
Power.
So, with your massive media empire, you've decided to destabilise and overthrow the world's governments!
Take a look at Megalomania, and see what you can discover. Tutorialisation is limited, as part of the fun is figuring out what everything means.
Version 1.0.1: Fixed a bug with the "Political Faux Pas" event that caused one of the choices to wipe out progress in a region instead of advancing it. The fix was literally a single character in the code!

I felt dictator who is controlling the media!!!!
My score
Only nitpick I have is that it becomes a bit of a waiting game near the end, I think you should make your influence rise faster once you get 100% in certain countries. Either way, a great submission!!!
I have some suggestion on it:
1.When i am in the middle stage of the game,the local event is generated too fast for me to think and select the option.You may slow it a bit.
2."caribbean islands" region is so small that it is hard for me to find it when local event happens in there.You may make the region where local event happens flash instead of just turn blue so that i can find it.
Great game. The mood is so well done! The end game is a bit slow, but that's ok. It may lack a loose condition though.
But that's minor issues. The game is really cool, the music is perfect and the graphics work well.
Really solid entry! :clap: :clap:
This is a well done game. Trying to balance your influence vs. paying people off. Keeping an eye on certain countries that are close to destabilization. The only real suggestion I have is to add more events, although trying to balance all of those events can be difficult in a 48 hour jam. I had a lot of fun with this one. Thanks for making it!
The art is fine.
I like the BG music aswell.
I find the game to be somewhat moody and humorous.
It was fun trying to take over the world.
I wish i had more time to read the events though.
Overall, nice game. -WitekWitek
Just a heads up – your mac zip archive seems to have incorrect file permissions. I had to run `sudo chmod -R 755 /Users/daleprice/Downloads/Megalomania_Mac.app` after unzipping, before I could open the game.
Really uqniue take on the theme. The time flays bay playing this game. It was fun!
