President Cartwright is a ruler in the Industrial Age, being introduced after the player acquires Okahe. He is the president of New Cragshire, Rantford, St. Marque, and, depending on player choice, Garrincton.
Description[]
Cartwright was the elected leader of a united country, but due to economic problems and differences between the north and the south, the southern provinces declared independence under the leadership of General Dee. Cartwright waged war against Dee, and the player can choose to side with either leader. He describes his country as one of "good and upright businessmen," implying he considers his states more civilized than the south.
If the player sides with Cartwright, they will fight against and defeat Dee. If the player sides with Dee, Cartwright will become the president of Garrincton but will be defeated.
Trivia[]
Cartwright is based on the real-life Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. Like Cartwright, Lincoln was the leader of the northern states in the American Civil War. Lincoln would end up winning the war against southern leader Jefferson Davis.
