PRESS RELEASE
Supreme Ruler 1936 Released

For Immediate Release

Ancaster, Canada - May 9, 2014 – BattleGoat Studios is today pleased to announce the official launch of Supreme Ruler 1936. David Thompson, Lead Designer and Co-Founder of BattleGoat commented, “This is our most ambitious title to date and the scale of the game is truly immense. There are thousands of historical events that may or may not come into play depending upon the actions of the player; players need to watch their economy, diplomacy, and even weather patterns floating across the world that could turn a potential battlefield into a muddy or snowy quagmire; and when they go to battle they have access to the historical military units of WWII and much, much, more!”

With four Campaigns, six Scenarios, and three Sandbox Maps playable from almost 100 different regions, Supreme Ruler 1936 brings the scope and sweep of World War II to strategy gamers. A Real-Time Geo-Political Strategy game, Supreme Ruler 1936 combines resources, economy, diplomacy, and battalion-level tactical warfare.

BattleGoat Studios would like to thank everyone that supported us through Steam Early Access and helped us to make Supreme Ruler 1936 the best game possible!

I have looked into it a little.

As I understand it, it plays similar to Hearts of Iron 3.

Opinion seems divided as to which is better.

I think the UI in Supreme Ruler is a little more accessible & user friendly.
Apparently, it's use of submarines is not good as it seems to result in little or no effect from the Atlantic war as regards supplies.

Perhaps they will address this in a patch.
It has only been launched a few days.

Thanks mate, yeah I was a bit disappointed with the lack of naval combat having much of an influence, it seems to be mostly concerned with land combat.

[Ballacraine]

Apparently HOI3 is similar in the lack of Atlantic war influence, so the problem is common to both.
