How to win easily every time (NEW AND UPDATED!)
By Spudinky
So after that update in 2024 that broke the game I said I would make a new guide but then I didn't until somebody reminded me, then after a few days and hours of testing different strategies, I found one that would work but then forgot to make the guide until someone again reminded me so, here we are. The game gives you a lot less freedom in what works (as far as I've tested it's impossible to win without doing vegetarian or vegan mandate). But you can still win the game in a way the devs probably didn't want you to (We kill the third world to save the west and leave only white people alive)



TLDR: I got a working strat again

Ban Outdoor Cats
Malthusian Curriculum
Meatless Mondays

Then hit ready
Session 3
You will only have 5 Political Capital at this point, so go ahead and research Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Sequestration (BECCS. You will have crop shortages, so just fix those by putting the excess production onto Organic Crops, then hit ready.

2 on Reintroduce Apex Predators

For Policies do:

Crack Down on Crypto Mining
Feminist Science and Technology Studies

Devs unintentionally made white supremacy the winning play lol, kinda makes sense looking at statistics.

Extremely useful guide.

Some small details though: "Space Colony" never became available and "Space Elevator" wasn't made available until after Session 8. Likewise "Reconcile Town and Country" only became available in the very last session of the game while I didn't have enough points to "Masculinity Detox" in Session 7 while also putting two extra points in "Advances in Ecosystem Modeling" and "Reintroduce Apex Predators" so I had to skip it in order to keep the other two.

Overall these issues didn't impact my game but I thought I'd bring them up anyway.
