Looks interesting to say the least. Anyone else been tracking this? I have never heard of Battlegoat Studios before.

They're practically giving away (2 tokens) Supreme Ruler 2010 on Stardock's Totalgaming network. I've been meaning to take a look at 2010, but know very little about the sequel.

Hell, I didn't even know there WAS a Supreme Ruler 2010. This bears further inspection.

If that was in fact your impression, then the ad clearly failed in its intended purpose. Aside from being a strategy title, the game has almost nothing to do with SupCom.

The Supreme Ruler series takes place in the near future, in which you take control of one of a couple hundred regions (sometimes -- but not always -- based on the world's existing nation-states). You manage your economy, conduct diplomacy, build real-world military units to defend your region, etc. It actually looks pretty interesting, although I never got around to trying out the previous 2010 game. More info can be found here, by the way.

I tried the demo for 2020, but I got scared. It seems more complicated and less intuitive than Victoria: Empire Under the Sun. And that game is scary.

Gelatinous:

Would you say that this game is more or less complicated than Hearts of Iron?

I bought 2020 and I have to admit that I'm totally lost at this one.
Victoria in all it's complex glory, I atleast could feel that I could get started and get my country running.
Here, I have no idea where to start.
I tried to play as Sweden and really confused.
I keep hearing explosions and yet I have no idea why.
Also I keep getting tanks and yet my factory isn't building anything.
But atleast my economy was in the green.
