Senate election frequency

from GalCiv2 Forums

Do senate elections occur fixed or random periodically? The latter one would make it more reasonable to keep an approval level high enough during a game, since this value does matter only in the turn of election.

It occurs one every approx. 52 turns (I think)

I will need to research this a bit.

Twice yearly, actually, starting the week after you change government (IIRC).

And GC2 years are only 48 weeks, not 52.

That's correct, it only matters during the turn before the election, which is rather a shame since it's hardly realistic.

Not that unrealistic actually...

I would go into great detail about this but I will not.

I think it is fixed in an even pattern.
