new game mode: Generals and Politicians

This isn't designed to replace the existing system, but be an additional, optional, game type. You only play it if you want to

I'm down for options.

I see it going like this....
Me :Bro get PA it's awesome
Bro: but I suck at those games, can never balance my economy.
Me: no worries bro, you lead the army and I'll handle the eco sending you a never ending army of death.

In any case politicians never create resources so a better system would be for the politician to siphon energy/metal from other players then redistributing it to players of his choosing while keeping a chunk for himself

Basically your saying the game type needs tweaking in case one player does not play it properly. This is why many games have matchmaking in different game types independently so noobs and idiots dont spoil everyones fun.

Pork-barrel mode? Yeah. Put that in now!
