Detailed Description


Combats take place in real world locations generated from the complete topographical map of the globe included in the game. When you fight to conquer a city, the landscape you see is real. Computer-controlled countries are independent entities that actually learn from their actions. To challenge you, GolemLabs have designed the EHE (Evolutive Human Emulator). It's a revolutionary approach to artificial intelligence, combining both neural networks and expert systems. Computer-controlled countries are independent entities that actually learn. They learn how to solve their problems, how to play against each other and how to play against YOU!

Every gamer will encounter a different opponent tailored to its own playing style.

Features:

  • Cities - These are the heart of a country's economy and industry. They are represented as green dots on the main map. They contribute greatly to the GNP and are the only way of gathering natural resources. Cities can only produce some military unit (soldiers and infantry vehicles), as they do not have the necessary infrastructure to support heavier military production.They can also host military units, which will help defend the city and ensure order in more oppressive government types. However, too much military force may have the opposite effect and make the population wary, especially in democratic government types.
  • Military bases - Military bases are represented as red dots on the main map. They do not produce resources or demographic help, but they can build any type of units and research centers. You can pile as much military units as you wish in a base. Also, bases can be top secret, or even underground (to withstand a nuclear strike).Each city or base has a maintenance cost, which is displayed as buildings fixed expenses in the budget's window. At least one city must be the country's capital.
  • The Capital - A country's capital city is extremely important in SuperPower since taking the capital means conquering the country.Now, that does not mean that you can send massive amounts of troops in Washington for a surprise strike and conquer the United States in a week! If a battle takes place in the capital, the attacked country will have the chance to move its capital to another city.If you invade another country one city at a time, the country will continue to exist until the capital has fallen. At that point, whoever controls the capital controls now the country.A military base cannot become a capital. So always having at least two cities is a good strategy.Of course, moving the capital to another city creates huge chaos for the country: the government becomes less efficient, the population panics and stability falls? However, it's still better than being conquered.
  • There are five different natural resources in SuperPower: energy, ore, cereals, meat and wealth. Each one of them has a special purpose.A country can acquire resources in two different ways: it can grow them internally, or it can trade them with other countries. In the end, only the total amount is important.Each resource has an impact on a country, positively if there are enough or more resources than the country needs, and negatively if there is not enough.However, if your country is lacking a little bit of one resource, it does not mean that everything is falling apart. It may mean that things are not working at their fullest potential. But having nothing in a particular resource type can become dramatic.
  • Energy ? affects the country's production. It is vital to the economy and to the population's everyday life. While lacking of it a country is always functioning at less than its full potential.
  • Ore ? also affects the country's production. It is used to construct buildings and military units, and to maintain them.
  • Cereals ? is the first of two resources used to feed the population.
  • Meat ? is the second food resource.
  • Cereals and meat both provide food to the country's population. Therefore, it modifies the population growth, health and satisfaction. The proportion needed for each depends on the country's human development.
  • Wealth ? includes every other luxurious commodities. It affects the country's GNP and the population satisfaction.
