Oh, that sounds much better. I will give it a try.

Is there any multiplayer?

[x2yzh9]

Yep. I havn't tried it out yet, but I expect it isn't the best simply because of the kind of game this is.

[Journier]

for those wanting to buy the game im going to give you info.

I played Supreme Ruler 2010 in beta test back in like 2004. The game had the SAME speed problems then as it does now. I have a better computer now and i think the game actually plays worse in 2020.

Micromanaging stuff isnt too bad honestly in 2020.

However, Understanding the UI and where everything is will make you hate the game until you can memorize all the windows.

But really the positives are....

Sometimes playing the game as a small nation and slowly swallowing up other nations around you can just be so fucking enjoyable.

Having an economic detail like Supreme Ruler 2010/2020 is also really fuck awesome. You wanna be the prime exporter of wood? or water? or something rediculous? Go for it, build up on your huge national reserves and start exporting that shit!


Also Hint to you guys, this should still work.

At very start of game, buy all the oil barrels you can off world market, the price will slowly keep rising due to demand and youll be able to make all your money back and more in a year or less. (in 2010 you could do this and just fuck the entire world economy as USA creating huge oil prices.)

Combat IMO seems very simple, Atliest on surface. I just spam motorized infantry or whatever the humvee looking infantry or whatever my nation has for motorized infantry and they work well mixed with a few tanks. or you can just spam artillery, artillery, artillery and maybe 1 tank and just take over the entire world without losing a unit.

You can tell you advisers to fuck off and actually make some headway or let them grind you into the ground.

[thobal]

Those are full words.  He probably means "Those unit models are ugly, do they have any 2d counter things instead?"

Yes, that, exactly.

[x2yzh9]

I suppose so, but on a larger scale combat eventually needs you're input, to a degree.
I had battles in both Egypt and Saudi. I was putting up a defensive line of units at the Israelites via withdrawing a few units from the Egyptian Front and fresh units from the homeland. This eventually led to a combat stalemate, I made no progress in Egypt[I was literally in the next fucking tile over to Al Quariha or whatever that Egyptian capital is] nor was I pushed back. Heh, my territory there looked like a horse speeding on. Eventually no combat was fought between me and the Saudis and we sued for peace, and I could resume my conquest of Egypt. Needless to say, I eventually conquered all of Africa, then fucked over Sau, Yemen, and Oman for their oil.

So, I've been playing and I took new zealand as my nation since I've always been fond of kiwiland.

So far I've manage to get the largest GDP on earth, while I'm not the biggest producer of petrol in the planet and will never be, I have quite a few nations as my oil bitches. I managed to keep all internal production on surplus and been trying to secretly acquire more and more radioactive material for my nukes and subs.

My only allegiance is with england, which makes sense, of course. I'm hoping they will go to war and I will get to piss the world off and then show them I have more missiles stocked up than they can deal with.

Trying demo.
Decisions for me is to buy this, stalker COP or minecraft.
so I might as well play a demo first.

[Journier]

make sure to buy 2020 gold, not 2020, or global crisis expansion :/

gold is both together with all scenarios + support...

I made the mistake of buying it off steam thinking it was the 2020 gold edition but steam apparently only has 2020 regular , so i got screwed out of the last year of patches or some bs.

[Saint]

Tried the demo, micro managment hell.
I gave up.

[Soulwynd]

I thought it would be so. But I hardly had to micro manage anything, with the ministers taking care of most everything for me. I just tell them what to do and tell them to go to hell if they do it wrong.

[Saint]

THE BUILDING!
I TRIED!
I SWEAR I DID!
OH GOD THE HORRORS!

The game's like DF but, still not even close, DF isn't the same kind of micro managment.

[EuchreJack]

Play Israel... Conquer Middle East?

Actually, Israel does that without your input in this game.  Nearly every game starts with Israel attacking their neighbors.  If you ally with them, you can keep their war machine going longer, especially by buying oil and trading/giving it to them (I buy oil from Saudi Arabia and give it to Israel for added irony, as Saudi Arabia is the country they are fighting).

It is adjustable to a degree. You have ministers for every department that manage day-to-day affairs. And you can tell them to fuck off and manage that department and then let them continue managing it. You can be the king of you're country or just the minister who watches and orders units-Military units automatically fight enemy units if they're in range, and sometimes go back to refuel and such, but you can order them with individual orders too. But doing it individually if you have a big army is very tedious,. which is why they give the army AI a brain.

Actually, half the micromanagement is due to fighting with the AI ministers.

[Journier]

make sure to turn off most ministers, such as the trade minister.

fun thing to do is to starve the world for oil, thereby driving up oil prices to ridiculous numbers, and you can stockpile all that delicious oil for yourself.

then sell it when it hits 600$ a barrel.

mmmm

[Puck]

Waaaaait, isnt that made by the same people who made "hearts of iron"?

If yes, does that mean its also buggy as fuck and will likely never been fixed?
