Supreme Ruler 2020-Let's colonize the south pole!
« on: July 01, 2010, 04:50:29 pm »

This game's pretty awesome, and I have only one beef about it[The fastest game speed setting is way too slow.] but there's a lot of pros.
-The map is actually based off real satellite imagery. Really. I'm not joking, it's not them lieing for some PR thing, if there's a country, it's in supreme ruler. Wanna play as chile? Sure! Brazil? Sure! Pakistan? Sure! If it's in the world, it's there.
-This game has a steep learning curve. And I mean steep. I'm gonna have to say it is, in retrospect, steeper than DF. It's like the god of micromanagement.
-Drastic economy. Oil is a precious[And I mean fucking precious] resource in 2020, because you'll have to, metaphorically speaking, suck saudi arabia's dick to get enough oil you need for you're expanding country, which could provide reason to invade them. FOR TEH OIL
-And much more.

I've been searching for a fix to the slow time thing and there's nothing. There's a cheat called enddays which makes 5 days fly by in about 3-4 seconds but it doesn't work. Research, production, building and diplomacy don't work while you're using it. And buildings take a LONG time to build.

The game's sorta mainstream. It's made by paradox. Here, http://www.paradoxplaza.com/SupremeRuler2020/

That's a game scenario where all the countries are split into pieces. That means the USA is turned into every state and other countries are fractured too.


EDIT: Those pictures are crazy. Everyone's capital is Berlin.

I'm pretty sure you can at least with the new expansion.

What do you mean by gross unit effects? As well, what do you mean by counters? Use full words, argh.

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

I don't believe you can use 2d counters. The game is pretty fun though, a screen from my recent game of playing as Israel after a month of war with Jordan and Syria that they provoked.
That'll teach 'em. Fully conquered 'em, yes I did. I'm looking at taking over Lebanon, considering they're surrounded by me, and weak. I don't know what the U.N. Repercussions might be, however.

EDIT:Just took over Lebanon. Didn't affect my UN situation too much-The only full war enemy I have left is Iran, and I'm going to have to get a full transit treaty with Iraq[And hopefully a criminal extradition treaty as well.] to not have to go halfway around the world to get a chance at 'em.

Is there way too much micromanagement in this game? Because I got interested.

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.
