I have played Cold war and was more like the "risk" game.

Thanks in Advance

if you have played Cold war then you know how it is, there is just minor changes to menu and other things to make the game play better, what I remebered of ruler of nations is incredibly slow between turns until it was totally unplayable otherwice a good game

This is how the two game differ:

Geo-Political Simulator: Rulers of Nations

1. War is a last resort effort that will essentially cause you to be ousted unless you motivate your people to this dreaded action.
2. Your military units are based upon 5 different stars. That's about it.
3. Your economy is a multi-faceted mix of private and public sectors of industry that you can subsidize, privitize, and funnel money into job programs to train your people into skilled labor for those jobs.
4. Your domestic policy is a complex system of setting and funding state sponsored cultural events, athletic subsidies, religious affiliations, syndicates, unions, and the construction of buildings to facilitate all of the above. It also includes meeting with the leader of all of the above and trying to make them all happy so that they don't riot, protest, and blockade your roads. You then have the options of declaring a police state or martial law.
5. You set your police and military based on quotas of personnel, security cameras, traffic cameras, and such.
6. Diplomacy is a very risky situation of trying to buy and sell from other countries in a hope of not crippling your economy and trying to stimulate your electronic goods manufactorers by buying loads of bauxite at cheap prices.
7. Espionage is a very risky, calculated process of funding a security department and setting their funding priorities. Next is establishing a number of people (0-500) to form espionage rings in other countries. From here you can do a large number of things from funding specific terrorists to just supporting unwanted unions in their cause or just funding political leaders to blackmail the head of state or assassinate them.
8. Taxes are a very complex system which has to be approved by the house and parliament and can even be part of larger bills.

Supreme Ruler Ultimate:

1. War is pretty much what everyone does. Your people will temporarily hate you but so long as your military likes you, you can just proclaim a dictatorship.
2. Your military units can be anything from WWI infantry divisions to the latest in Japanese tanks and any and all in between.
3. Your economy is a 3rd graders math homework.
4. Your domestic policy is looking at your low GDP and seeing people emigrate.
5. Your police forces are a slider in a menu that stops partisans.
6. Diplomacy is a simple system of set treaties. Slightly more complex than the standard "War and peace" from earlier RTS games.
7. Espionage is kind of lame and consists of recon, stealing tech, and sabotaging industries.
8. Taxes are some slides that affect GDP and the rate at which your people will inevitably die from your horrible war mongering.

All in all, Supreme Ruler is not a bad game. It's actually quite fun. But if you're looking for a good government simulation I'd turn away. This game's main focus is war, influencing other countries onto your side of the war, and researching technology to have better units to win more wars. Though if you're looking to play something a bit more simple without going into Command and Conquer territory, this is definitely your game.

yes theres not a lot of competition or money in these types of games, battlegoat does a pretty good job with a smal ldev team, more sales would probably enable much more work on supreme ruler ultimate. So if u like it spread the word amd a reasonable review around the interwebs.

Another difference is masters of world no dev support at all. No response, no forums no nothing

Battlegoat SRU, dev replys, dev flexibility and regular game updates ahead of the launch, they do appear to listen, not always make changes but they do at least take the time to put some development work into the bigger bugs and stuff

Again - Many thanks for the response. My pet hate about ruler of nations was the lack of support and also zero dev replies etc.

I will jump in just awaiting a couple more patches based on the bugs reported.

thanks again

Ruler of Nations really had no war in it at all unless you were just so built up and powerful that you could take on the whole world at once. I mean that is what happened if you declared war on anything is eventually everyone would declare war on you.

shiny graphics is what gps 3 does, it lacks any indepth gameplay, theres a lot of stuff in the game but it has no effect, it hasnt been fleshed out
And eversim has basically taken money from GPS3 and not put it back into the game

Battlegoat on the other hand based on 10 years of game development will continue to put funds back into the game, and if they sell a lot more then i would anticpate the game would get more updates and so forth
