Greetings.

I bought this when it was fairly new and thought it had great potential. Would have played it a lot if it hadn't been for that the AI military advisor was completely useless. Shuffled around units, did other meaningless things and could not invade worth a darn. So I had to order my troops around myself and since there usually was so many of them and so many things to think about, yes it's very complex if you want to play effectively I gave up because of all the tediousness after a while.

That brings me to the question if it ever got patched so you could win a war without ordering your troops yourself?

I'm a big fan of Supreme Ruler Cold War, but what ruined it for me is my military is not effective at amphibious invasions, but the AI is. If the player AI in this game can't even fight a land war, that limits military options. I might still get it to have fun with the economic system though.

Well the military AI wasn't no Patton at release to say the least.

It's very complicated so it needs a lot of automation functions and since It was the first in the series there was a lot that needed improving with that. My question is really if the patches made the automation tolerable.
Clarification for those that haven't tried any of the games in this series. :)

The only game that Ive bought here where GOG.com patched gameplay was Gothic 3, and that was via a community patch included in the installer. Unfortunately that game isn't with us anymore.

Far Cry was released on this site with a bug where shaders were precompiled or something, causing the game to crash, Maybe they fixed it now in version 2.whatever

Most games on GOG.com are just patched for crashes and compatibility with windows 7/8, and to remove DRM of course.

Of course there could be more gameplay patches I'm not aware of.. I don't play all the games I have here.

Maybe there's a community AI patch?

I meant if the developers kept patching it after release and not a patch from GOG. :)
I moved on fairly quickly because that it had great depth with the option to effectively have lot of things done by ministers was what I was looking for in it. Playing as a ruler and not a god that did everything himself. When that didn't work well during wars I quickly lost interest.

I guess all we can hope for for improved Supreme Ruler games is a deal between Paradox publisher and CDProjekt,

Pre-EU4 games are already DRM-free on Gamersgate, and the newer games are on the Paradox store as Steam-only, I just wish I could buy Paradox-published games on GOG.com (mount and blade would be an amazing addition)

what i mean is Supreme Ruler Cold war, at least, is competent at a land war in Asia, you just have to launch some airstrikes manually once the USSR attacks to defeat them, since the AI(both yours and the other nations) doesn't launch long-range bombing missions. It makes defeating the USSR a lot easier. Of course, you'd have to play as an Asian or middle eastern nation to have fun with Cold War this way.

Also I think SR Cold war is only on steam. Maybe 1936 and Ultimate(or whatever its called) fixed the amphibious warfare and long-range bombing AI shortfalls.

Yeah 1936 would be nice to have here if those problems was fixed. I'd gladly buy and play that.

*Bump*

I'd also like to know if the 2020 version have better AI regarding this.
