Supreme Ruler 2020: Global Crisis: Review

One of the most worthy global strategies has not so long ago acquired an addition. Other developers should take an example with Battlegoat Studios: whatever you say, but they fulfilled everything promised. Fresh campaign, two dozen separate scenarios, improved graphics (as far as possible), new detachments, buildings, tactics and techniques. But in the market of global strategies, Supreme Ruler 2020 has no competitors. All worthy competitors prefer to look into the past, and not into the future. Surprisingly, the look in the future coincides with the current situation in the world that there are involuntarily suspicions that the developers really looked into the future.

How they looked into the water

The basis of the addition is the new campaign. Global Crisis talks about the events that led to the Third World War. It all started quite innocent. In Estonia, a monument was demolished by the liberator, which, coupled with other anti-Russian actions, led to popular unrest, and later to full-fledged military operations within the country. According to unconfirmed information, Russia supports rebels in the Baltic countries.

By 2020, the United States continues the war with Iraq and is increasingly losing respect in the world arena. China is gaining momentum and concludes a trade agreement with Russia and Japan. "Oriental" The Economic Union is slowly putting pressure on Europe. Western countries are worried that such a strong coalition will be able to manipulate raw markets. The situation is additionally complicated by the death of the North Korean leader. Obviously, the protege of China and Russia will be replaced.

By the winter of 2020, Russia overlaps all the supply Bookkeepingintelligence of natural gas to Europe – Ukraine’s entry into NATO was to blame for this. The energy shortage of energy is not in the best way affects the mood of the public. Even the smallest mistake can cause a revolution or war. Именно в этот момент игроку предложено занять кресло лидера любой страны и. Do everything possible. Moreover, you have no specific goal (if you have not installed it in advance) – in the sandbox mode the action can last a very long time and only the player decides when he stops.

Instead of a fictional campaign Supreme Ruler 2020: Global Crisis makes it possible to simulate the current situation in the world. Randomot or calculation of the developer? Whatever the answer, but the campaign Global Crisis I was a success. Events affected everyone – even the poorest countries of Africa did not stand aside. Remember the pirates from Somalia? And the fighting in Sudan? In the game to these seemingly unrelated incidents "Fuck" Purchases – separatists sponsor Iran, and it was not by chance that the pirates captured the ship with tanks on board.

Permanent evolution

What has changed with the advent of addition? Much. Balance moved slightly, new buildings, detachments, technologies appeared, but the main thing is that the management has become easier, and the game is more interesting. Amendments to display countries on a global map do not overload the screen with information. So, at the maximum distance, the player shows only the capital of the country and its attitude towards you. Red – enemy, blue – friend, but yellow, of course, and there is no business before you. The display of the cities themselves has also changed – now they vary in size depending on the population. Cosmetic editing allows you not to waste time on unnecessary clicks to display statistics, and even if you lead a huge country. By the way, in Global Crisis The authors seriously dug up the training system. If in the original it was necessary to reach most of the game nuances, then a lot of mini-sublosions, training, tips and other little things appeared in the addon. Well, no one canceled the scripts. They, as it happened, is the best way to fully master the game.

To understand the entire amount of work on the expansion, you need to look at "Tree of science". IN Global Crisis There are more studies. Original technologies have also changed to correspond to the temporary period. New and old scientific discoveries directly affect the additions in the list of buildings and detachments. After some research, the player will be available to power plants on fantastic types of fuel: antimatter, dark matter, various converters and the like. In the list of industries, nanofactes of all directions appeared: military, consumer and industrial. A mansion is a plant for the production of synthetic gas (on the anger of the day, not otherwise). Military buildings have not changed much – only three buildings, and those not the first importance: radars, fortress and laser guns of air defense.

The things in the technique is much more interesting. A hundred new studies led to more than two hundred of combat vehicles. Study, construct, produce and fight for health. Although you can do without war – now the equipment is allowed to sell to other countries and it is not bad to earn on this.

Finally, it is worth saying about the system "combat groups". It is obvious that for large countries with serious military potential, the formation of only ten detachments is not enough. For giants (USA, China, Russia), this is completely ridiculous – try to relocate an army of ten. Now the player can appoint 99 groups. All groups can be given their own names. True, hot keys work for only ten formations.

A worthy game is a worthy continuation. Despite the extremely narrow specialization, the developers worked in good faith. Many extremely serious innovations, changes, additions and adjustments. New opportunities for war, trade and construction. Interesting and actual plot – what else is needed? In the case Supreme Ruler 2020: Global Crisis recipe "all the same, only more" implemented one hundred percent. Excellent representative of the genre, plus no less excellent addition.

Pros: many innovations, changes and all kinds of additions.
Cons: The game is invariably complicated in mastering.
