Supreme Ruler 2020: Global Crisis

NEW YORK, November 10th 2008— Paradox Interactive has today posted the new developer diary entry from David Thompson, Lead Developer on Supreme Ruler 2020: Global Crisis. The latest entry takes a close examination at the multiplayer features.

Prior to the upcoming Global Crisis expansion pack, multiplayer scenarios would typically last several hours. To solve this issue, the development team has created ten new multiplayer scenarios designed specifically for shorter gameplay. Additionally, the new multiplayer scenarios allow for gameplay for up to 16 players.

One highlighted scenario involves the defence of an invasion of the United Kingdom. Titled “Channeling Victory”, in this scenario one player takes the role of the leader of the United Kingdom and has to keep London secure during an attack across the English Channel by other players taking the roles of France, Germany, and several other European nations.

Global Crisis is scheduled for a digital download release via GamersGate during the latter half of Q4, 2008 and will require Supreme Ruler 2020 to play. Supreme Ruler 2020 was released in June 2008.
