Supreme Ruler 2010

[George Geczy]

I don't believe we are going to include actual battle-goats as a unit

However, in the list of 'politically incorrect' units we have already decided against:

- "Partisan Minesweepers" (no equipment required)

- The "Australian Rabid Dingo Pack"

- The "Combat Swimmer" (apparently a real occupation, it just sounded a bit too strange - as in "Captian, look out, a pack of Combat Swimmers are approaching!")

- The "Poutine Launcher" (considered a Weapon of Mass Destruction in Quebec)

i havent been following it, no. I just looked at your text. Oy, thats long for me, and without nekudot. It'll take a while for me even to make a garbled translation, and i may have to check the Lost in trans thread to get a better idea of what people are doing. Hope the thread isnt waiting for me.

Another preview of Supreme Ruler 2010 posted today...

From GameSpy:

http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/supreme-ruler-2010/505879p1.html

Not a very detailed preview, but a general overview. A few factual omissions in this one, for example:

- Multiplayer is fully functional in our Preview and Beta versions - we wanted to make sure that Multiplayer was implemented very early in the design cycle, so that it would be stable and reliable (as well as assisting us with ongoing play balancing).

- Cabinet/Advisors are more integrated than the preview implies - any department can be set to full 'cabinet control' to avoid micromanagement.

Yes, the Wargamer preview is a nice one, they've gone in to a bit more detail than most....

One of the quotes from this preview that I like:
Supreme Ruler 2010 has my nomination for "Most Ambitious Strategy Game of All Time".

As far as the release date, since the beginning of the year we've been reviewing development with our publisher, Strategy First, and the release date has been set to late 3rd Quarter 2004. In general we're aiming for a street date of early September, and we're hoping to have a "worldwide" release at the same time.

We've always said we won't release "until it's ready", however the current beta test version is extremely stable, Multiplayer has been working well, and other elements (finishing the Scenarios) are also on track. So it looks good for September.

heh, I'm wishing I signed up for the beta now.

It's not too late Ludd. Go to the forums (www.bgforums.com) in the beta discussion section and you'll see.

Has a bunch of good quotes, this is one of my favourites from the article:

"Games like this are exactly the games that EA and Microsoft are incapable of pulling off because they lack the guts."
