  This is THE game if you want to be Head of State for ANY country in the world. You have total control over a country of your choice including tax rates for each and every sector of your populace, resource control over every resource imaginable that a country needs to survive, the ability to wage war as you see fit, the ability to rename all your cities/towns and your country as well as move your capital if you want, the ability to be an empire via colonies if you choose to make a country subservient to you after you conquer them or outright annex the defeated countries, step into each major conflict of the 20th century, be diplomatic and forge allies or trading agreements, espionage allows you to steal research from any country or military unit designs, you can choose which type of units your military has access to and which they don't to build, you can set the A.I. to wage wars that you've started or are defending from so you don't have to micromanage the battles, put the first human on the moon, launch satellites that give you strategic advantages galore, level entire armies with nuclear weapons, weaken armies with chemical warfare, and all this as a real time strategy! Can start in 1914, 1936, 1941, 1950, 2000, 2020. Each year has its own scenario and if you play in sandbox mode you can decide how history unfolds. Also has eras that the entire world is sectioned off into "states", such as there are effectively hundreds and hundreds of countries like Virginia, Alaska, Siberia, West Germany, Bavaria,Tuscany, Province of Moscow, etc. Amazing how many choices you have in the game as to which country you want to be depending on the area you choose to start in. The multiplayer is quite fun, as you and your buddies are playing a game of Risk that is as realistic as it can possibly get. I prefer sandbox mode, as you can guide your country without a set "end" to the game. Essentially you can govern a country for as long as you wish in sandbox and mold it to your liking in any era of the 20th century. Want to spread communism as the U.S.S.R. Can do! Want to make the world safe for democracy as the juggernaut that is the U.S.A.? Go right ahead. Never let the sun set on the British Empire, m'lord. Want to unite the entirety of Africa as the African United States and protect your domain from empires wishing to colonize your people and lands? Get right to it. See fit to ensure the safety of the Germanic peoples and the culture of Western Europe as the strong hand of the Reich? Then your will shall be meted. Can I say, "WOW!"? If you like strategy and/or simulation games, this is THE title for you.

  Before I start, even though I may have a small amount of hours, I have experienced enough of the game mechanics, as I already own SR:CW and SR:2020, and I know how these games work. I have always had fun with this series in the past. And even now, I can enjoy myself playing Supreme Ruler Ultimate... for a while that is. I would love to support the developers at battlegoat. I really would. However this game has so many large issues that NEED fixing, yet since I discovered this game 2 months ago. Nothing has changed. First off, the AI is much better than the previous titles. So I will praise Battlegoat for that. However the negatives outweigh the positives in this game. The economy has always been a massive factor in Supreme Ruler games. And that is why it must be done right. But in this game, the economy is done poorly. Instead of fresh water (which is a necessity for any poputation) they replaced it with rubber. RUBBER! The only natural rubber resources are in 3rd world countries. Perhaps this is supposed to be balance. But it is the worst balancing attempt I have ever seen. Also, the bond system people requested to return from SR:2020, was not brought back despite the communtiy requesting it. (The bond system allowed you to manually take out new bonds or pay off debt) Now, this new debt system works in Supreme Ruler Cold War (not sure about 1936). But not this game. It is SO broken, that when a minister takes out a loan, it translates into free money! NO debt is added! Also, in the start dates, nobody has any debt (but I will not continue this complaint as the debt system does not work) At times, you can suddenly start losing hundreds of millions a day for no reason. One day you just made 28 mil, and the next you start losing 100+ mil day after day until you take out a "free-money" loan. I, personally think the research system in this game is better than any SR game, with the tech trees, and the 4 different tech races all in one (Race for the Bomb --> Space Race --> Internet Race (race to develop the internet) --> Race to Mars). And this also combines with the military system, by researching units models. However, the WW2 stuff was rushed during the development of SR1936, and it seems the devs made no effort trying to add to this. (Seriously?! "Tank Designs '39?") The world war 2 tech is extremely shallow in comparison to the time periods of the Cold War and 2020. And WW2, what a disaster. The Chinese are an unstoppable, filthy rich, military superpower by the time the Japanese invade. (SERIOUSLY?! China wasnt even a country back then!) USSR is weak as hell, and gets annexed by Germany very fast. The USA never joins or trades with the allies, even after they declare war on the axis. Oh, and there is a global shortage of Industry goods. And Consumer Goods get random unexplained shortages as well. However I can have fun with this game, the many errors ruin the experience and immersion. Also, this game is FAR from finished. Most of the errors I have listed have been reported as I have seen. And the developers have said time and time again they will look into and fix these issues. However instead of fixing these issues, they took the game out of early access! This is obviously a BETA product and is not at all ready to be released. Yet they did release the game. And what a massive pile of shit it has turned out to be.... Here is a summary Pros: -Diverse selection of start dates and scenarios -Much improved military AI -Very detailed world (2020 and cold war, not 1936) -Speeds are very good -Diverse technology -Diverse selection of units Cons: -Same music, tends to get annoying with the same song over and over -The AI likes to turn the world into a massive love fest during the 2020 scenario. Allying random nations across the world, and barely starting wars -Economy is too broken to even be considered functional -Weather system does not actually do anything -World war 2 is terribly thrown together -USA and China are mega-superpowers during WW2? -Replacing Fresh Water with Rubber makes no sense -A nation with full friendly relations with you will often refuse to make any diplomatic deals with you (other than trading items for items/money) -The sphere of influence makes sense during Cold War, and kinda during 1936. But the whole sphere thing during 2020 makes NO sense, and will end up in ruining relations with other nations. -AI does not seem to react to you conquering neighbours, unlike in Cold War and 2020 -Random shortages of resources that make no sense -Soundtrack recycled from other Supreme ruler games All in all, i give this game a 6/10. Do not buy this game. It is not worth it, as the developers have released a beta product, and neglected to fix the game. To shut people up: SOME of these things have been fixed, however I still do not reccomend the game to anyone

  This is one of those times I started playing a game and was mad I hadn't heard of it before. It really does deserve a much larger fanbase. Anyway, it is an awesome game with a very small, but dedicated team. Pros -Much larger unit base than any other comparable game. You know how Civ gives you a few units for each era? Well, this gives you hundreds, if not thousands. -Intensive combat system. Models many of the intricacies of war, inclusing missiles, a detailed supply system, and many more things missed in other grand strategy games. -Detailed economy. Models a decent variety of resources, all with profitabilities that fluctuate as supply and demand change, as well as your own country's internal economic factors such as inflation, unemployment, and infrastructure, -Large amount of researchable techs. This game offers a very large and detailed tech tree that has a wide variety of effects on your nation. -AI allocation. While this game has a steep learning curve, the game offers AI advisors that can pretty much run your nation for you. Their actions are hardly ever ideal, but it really helps when you are still learning. -AI military difficulty settings. This is really something I have to applaud them for, as it is the ideal for how such a system should work. When you change the difficulty up a level, you are not giving the AI units a stat boost, instead you unlock more tactics for the AI to use. On easy, they do little besides charge your positions. However, on the harder difficulty levels, the AI can pull off challenging strategic manuevers. -And many more awesome things! Cons: -With the huge variety of units, there is a noticable amount that use ill-fitting models. For instance, the US marines will use AKs and Strykers use the LAV model. -Some military aspects are imperfect. Aircraft squadrons receive aircraft to replace lost ones, and since destroying an entire squadron in one go is difficult, you will occasionally run into situations where the enemy army is destroyed, but you cannot move up due to the concentration of enemy aircraft. This also occurs with artillery, but to a lesser degree and for a different reason. -The biggest gripe I have is the diplomacy system. My biggest problem with the system is that when a coup happens in a country you previously liked, your populace continues to like it. While you might want to attack it and reinstate the old government, you cannot without taking huge amounts of grief from your populace. The problem extends to when you liberate a country. You can rarely seek treaties with them because all of the civilians in both countries still hate the other. Ultimately, while the game has quite a few bugs, I am willing to forgive it. The (sometimes serious) problems are simply a side effect of having a detailed and complex game. It is flipping awesome, and if you like EU4 like games, then you will most likely love this.

  This is the last time I will purchase from this developer. I want to support games like this ...because it plays so close to what I like in games. My preference is sandbox mode and this game is such a non event when you play this setting. How can I interact with a virtual world that does little if anything to connect me to it. PRO: This will satisfy your desire to conquer the world. CONS: Same thing lacking here as in other Supreme Ruler games, there is nothing that invests you into this virtual world. If you are waiting for your virtual world to make sense, not going to happen. You are just going to wait until China or Russia attack (ie. If you are a NATO country) and then decide how long before you counter attack. The AI will make you walk to Moscow or Bejing because it won't know to accept a peace deal at its borders once you have removed them from occupying a foriegn territory. Esentially the same game you have already in your Steam account .. just some different paint. Save your money, wait for a sale. Message to developer - Please work on how the AI (other countries) work against or with you. Never does a player feel connected to this world. Perhaps more in game messages, maybe International news or something that highlights what is occuring in the virtual world. Human players are way too disconnected from the rest of the AI to feel connected to the experience that we are ALL hoping for. How are the players suppose to get a sense of the international community? Everything a player does is reactive to the virtual environement with no real chance to be proactive. It would be nice to know that China is focusing on certain countries or regions ... maybe I send over an aircraft carrier to send a message that may influence China ... one way or another. If you develop any other games (and I hope you do) I will be waiting for reviews before supporting it. I have bought them all ... but no more. T. PS. I am a big fan, I just want more of an experience.

  A geopolitical and military simulator that realizes 99% of its potential, but is CRIPPLED by an abysmal UI. First, the good: For the most part, this game works. It allows you to play a huge number of nations from 1936 to 2020, and lets you continue playing indefinitely into the future. It fairly accurately represents global conflict throughout the 20th century. The one real gripe I have with how the game itself works is the all-or-nothing nature of its peace deals. There's no mechanism for Germany to establish a Vichy France, or for the US to withdraw from Iraq while maintaining control of the oil-producing facilities. Additionally, limited wars are never fought. Nations may sign ceasefires and retain ownership of their currently occupied territory (which is great, and realistic), but nations don't go to war with limited objectives. If the USSR invades Finland and CAN fully annex it, it WILL. Its not going to stop after it achieves the goal of moving the border farther from Leningrad. The bad (is really bad): The UI is terrible, and there's really no excuse for it. For the most part its only slightly frustrating. For example, there's no central option to auto-deny certain trade requests, you need to go to each country individually and change that setting, which is a little tedious, but not the worst thing in the world. Nations can sell military units to each other, but there's no way to get details about the units being offered. Is "Type 4 AT Gun" good, or is it 40 year old technology? No way to tell. There are a number of little things like that which, on their own, wouldn't be that bad. Where the UI really has an impact is in regards to the military. Which is a shame, because you can have literally thousands of different units. You can micromanage things down to which types of missiles you put on which airplanes. And you're doing it all in a box the size of a postage stamp in the bottom left corner of your screen, which is AGONIZING. Keep in mind that you could be playing the U.S. or U.S.S.R. or China during the cold war, you can have potentially thousands of units. And you can view SIX of them at a time as you scroll through the list. In addition to the bafflingly tiny size of your unit list, there are other issues with the military experience as well. You can assign an advisor to automate your military, but this can only be done by unit, not by region. So you can automate your garrisons, but there's no guarantee the AI won't move them to the front. You can't issue orders to your units if you select them from your (tiny) unit list, for some reason you need to select them directly from the map to do that, further increasing the frustration caused by the microscopic U.I. I cannot fathom why your options for interaction would depend on the manner in which you select the unit. I WANT to like this game, I really do. If I'm playing a nation like South Africa in 1949 and I'm only managing 50 or so units, its not bad. But every time I have the urge to do something big like take the Caucasus oil fields as Germany I give up after 20 minutes because unit management is so unnecessarily tedious. Sure, I could automate the attack and let the AI do it (generally competently, the AI in this game isn't bad). But that would be missing out on playing a huge chunk of the game. And there's no good reason for it. If the developer had just made a fullscreen popout for military management, this would be one of my favorite games ever. There are fullscreen popouts for things like the trade window, research tree, and unit statistics. But not for your unit list as a whole. I cannot understand that decision.

  I haven't played any Supreme Ruler game before but even for a noob like me this is a good game and very polished for early access. If you enjoyed global strategy in the veins of Paradox grand strategy titles (Crusader Kings 2, Europa Universalis 4) you'll love this. You can play different campaigns starting with Nazi-Germany in 1936, US or Soviet Union in the Cold War era, up to the bleak post-nuclear future in 2020. In addiditon, you can take control of any country you like in Sandbox mode and try to shape the future. Just like with all the other grand strategy titles you love, your possibilities are amlost endless and the tutorials are barebones at least, so you will have to be willing to learn a lot by trial and error, but due to effective automization options your country will not disintegrate just because you don't know what you're doing. Simply delegate tasks you don't want to handle to your ministers and you can focus on the things you want. From what I've played so far I am really enjoying myself. The only issue I had was during the Germany campaign, when I attacked Poland, the allies did not declare war on me. This might be a bug - or alternative history in the making. Anyways, I enjoyed playing out what this alternative scenario means for Europe and the world.

  Here's a few things you'll need before jumping into SRU: 1. A Master's Degree in Economics. 2. 5-10 Years military service, preferably in some form of JOC, or Logistics. 3. A working understanding of geopolitical structures. 4. 4 Years of focus and meditation with Tibetan monks for patience and self control. 5. 1 Year study of the scramble for Africa, and colonisation from 1700 onward. Then it's just ten hours of trial and error in order to learn the mechanics and prevent economic collapse while fighting wars on multiple fronts. Make South Africa great again!

  It really hurts me to not recommend this, in some aspects good, game. Let's see what the main problems are: - War is an utter mess, automate it anyway you like, it is just terrible and impossible to control. (Yes, also with proper infrastructure and supply lines.) Not to mention that the "fluctuating" territorial gains/losses are totally unexplainable as well. - Unit deployment is a complete mess too. - Trading is flawed (could anyone ever buy electric power for even 100 times the money the amount of energy was worth?) Yes, the "eletric power tradeable" option is ticked. - Another absolutey unrealistic "feature" is that no countries EVER sell you units. I don't kow what the devs were thinking, but the real world is full of completed arms deals. Everyday. Not tech trading, but READY MADE ARMS deals. - This brings us to the problem of having an even more awkward rating system for military units. You start manufacturing some MODERN aircraft, then six months into it instead of having three or four little green dots (yep, that's your basic feedback on how "good" a unit is... and I do know there are more detailed infos about them but still...) they had when you bought their production technology, they all of a sudden have one red or two yellow dots indicating they are almost obsolete. How is that possible? - There are absolutely ZERO helicopters among the units available. None at all. Is this serious? (Let me add that there are no multirole fighters either. In 2020...) These negatives are just too much to get along with and simply make the game unenjoyable. A LOT of work is required to make this game fun, which is a shame, because the base idea and the economic and social systems and their interactions are all really well done, save some aspects of international trade. It is a matter of taste, but the game playing out real time actually sucks, even though you have the pause option. Would work out much better turn based, but this, I stress again, is just my opinion. The AI will also start spamming a ****load of units and the game slows down to an unbearable extent pretty soon too. Sincerely hoping for a much better sequel that would correct all the serious shortcomings present in this version. Until then, I cannot recommend this game.

  Review for current version 10/13/14. ver: 8.2.18. Battlegoat Studios featuring a realtime Geo-Political strategy game with pause / play action in single player. With the inclusion of all previous titles sandbox games, campains, and scenerios. This game does have it all, you can acess it all from Missle Defense Sattelites to Strategic Warfare ( NUKES :). Plan your strategy, choose your allys, pick your enemys, Revive forgotten / exiled nations, Liberate europe, Research techs started from the years 1900 to 2070, Become allied allligned or axis, create your role in your play. All and all they've done it right. Timeless game here, countless hours of playtime, although you should keep track so you dont lose track of time! 3/19/2015 most hated past technical issues.. fixed. -Loans fixed - you can take out and payback loans now as of december -Previously randomly losing money? - could've been the income report bug that was fixed. -Weather system does have an effect on battles, troop movement speed, moral, efficiency. -Battle Goats decision going to rubber from water influence you to much, the turnaround is very good, as everyone in earth needs rubber to fight war. -The world war 2 campaigns are great..their alot of historically accurate events. -Another isssue people had, you had to play with spheres ( axis / allied ) you can now turn that option off/on. -You can change up your map settings before starting your game to randomize the volatility of the map. -With my hours playing this game, 36' economy becomes an issue in the game but only while playing 36 campaign. Later down the road in the 45-49's if you dont build up oil derreks then the world goes dry of oil. Now speaking for cold war about the economy, that is soo balanced you can play it for a long time without running into issues, but you might have to build up some rubber as way down the road in 80s you notice rubber becoming needed.. now the 2020, nothing needed in the world, market is suppressed with all goods, ready for some fighting.. All and all the game has improved from alpha, and i've been through all its hurdles and issues, its come a long way to becoming the Ultimate Supremre Ruler. Since the start of the game, every 6 weeks the developers updated the game they're working on, balacing, and fine tuning their game, it's only going to get better from here. - Common major issues right now Multiplayer De-sync after 20-30 minutes of play.
