I've played about 15-20 games so far and I've noticed the CPU candidate (my opponent) gains endorsements extremely quickly. My extremely quickly, I mean winning 2-3 endorsements within the first 3-5 turns sometimes 2 endorsements at a time pop up after ending a turn. I just started a game and my opponent won literally every "red" or conservative endorsement before turn 10 and then on turn 11 got the Environmental group endorsement. The candidate had 1 outreach center built and their Experience rating was a 4 under their candidate characteristics.
I was playing tough/painful levels when I experienced this. Its happened with my custom candidate and a custom opponent as well as a game I played as Obama with Romney as my opponent. Since Romney has a high experience rating (which lowers endorsement cost I didn't think as much of it. However after noticing this with a candidate who had a low experience rating I'm wondering if this is a bug or there is some other element of game-play I don't understand that is helping the CPU gain endorsements so fast.
anyone else noticing this?
