Supreme Ruler 2020 Gold Edition

[BattleGoat]

Greetings,

Since this is a military forum, I thought there might be some interest in our latest press release regarding Supreme Ruler 2020 Gold Edition. Supreme Ruler 2020 is a Geo-Political Strategy game where players take control of a country or region and manage the domestic, foreign and military aspects of the region.

SR2020: Gold Edition is scheduled for release on September 15th in North America, and September 18th in Europe. It will be available both Retail and Digital Download.

Here is the Features blurb:

All the features of Supreme Ruler 2020 and Global Crisis, plus
- Four New Single Player scenarios (objective based)
- New Multi-player scenarios (for shorter and more balanced MP games)
- Enhancements to the AI, including more diplomacy and trades
- A number of Interface and Graphics Improvements
- New Units and 3D Models in Equipment list
- Updated Manual
- Improved multiplayer connectivity and firewall compatibility
- Games for Windows support including Windowed Mode, Streamlined Install, and more.

New Game Engine Features in Supreme Ruler 2020: Gold Edition:

- AI Diplomacy includes trading of Units, also expanded commodity trades
- New Minister capabilities & Priorities
- Spy system improvements, added capturing of spies
- User Interface enhancements (more tooltips, shortcuts, new options)
- 'Maximize Offer' feature added to Diplomacy negotiations
- Battle Sounds now fade for off-screen and third party battles
- New Game Lobby options including "Units eliminated when region falls"
- More Graphics resolutions supported, including Windowed Mode

As well as hundreds of smaller changes, improvements, fixes, and more.


Also, we will not leave our existing fans behind, and there will be no need for existing SR2020+Global Crisis owners to 'repurchase' the game. We are working to bring the new features of the Gold Edition to our existing SR2020+Global Crisis players as part of the free Update 6. This Update is planned for the end of September, and more information will be released in the coming weeks.
