Donald Trump's second term in office has shaken up the very foundations of the 21st Century's Global Order... take your seat in the oval office and work to implement President Trumps agenda to Make America Great Again... Again! Is it time to break trade agreements with the rest of the world? Bring Panama and Greenland into America's control? And Canada will most certainly be excited to be the 51st State. To China and Russia, the US President continues to be unpredictable - how will they react? In Western Europe, leaders are shaken by their new reality and realize they may have to make hard decisions now that America can no longer be relied upon. How will this play out? Will you assume Trump's role as the new US leader and guide America to renewed Greatness? Or will you instead lead another nation and take advantage of a potentially dysfunctional America to further your own ambitions?

• This DLC adds the following to Supreme Ruler 2030:
• New Campaign starting in March 2025 to enact Trump's agenda
• New Sandbox starting on US Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025

Thank you again to all our players for the feedback, suggestions, and continued support! -- The BattleGoat Team

Over the last few months, much of our effort has been focused on the engine work required for the zombie and infection mechanics that will go into Supreme Ruler Global Outbreak, but we've also gotten many engine and content fixes done as well. The most significant fix in this update was a focus on aircraft movement, banking and travel range calculations. We believe we've now resolved the majority of the engine issues that could cause aircraft to crash. For modders, you can now assign land units to regions without any barracks and the engine will scatter units based on population in the region (larger cities first). We're not entirely sure how useful that will be, but some of the mods have been trying some very innovative ideas, so we wanted to make that possible. Air/Sea already look for the nearest airfield/pier if there was no reserve facility for them. Here is the full list of changes

• Adjustments to aircraft turning radius / speed / return to base code, resolves most aircraft crashing issues.
• Ongoing engine work for zombies and other infections
• Fixed 24h/48h-delay on response to air/sea transport commands
• Fixed bug in purchase units from markets code, could cause strat pool effects
• Fixed iconography for unit orders buttons UNI1_LB1
• Fixed ‘units in battlezone’ count code error
• Fix for random ages of leaders if no age or birthdate provided
• Internal fix for submarine missile platforms
• Fixed issues with game start gamespeed / messaging (time 0 messages)
• Changed diplomacy rejection of treaties when showing green for acceptable
• Significant updates and fixes to events code
• - Fixed Event 46 Victory / Loss to handle losses correctly
• - Event 45 condition 27 fixed for newly loaded savegames
• - Events 60/61 only send emails if the events become true
• - Implemented condition test 101
• - added ‘inregionunits’ to track regions where units are deployed (ie proxy/ally etc)
• Adjusted dispersion code to account for city size
• Refactored ‘regioncolor’ code; colony showing parent colour now reverts
• Fixes to South Africa CVP influence values
• Containers (incl urban cities) are now considered non-resv land ‘ports’, for disbursing units etc during cache creation
• Forcing screen refresh when guislide / email popup is called (paused case)
• Loading savegames is back to starting paused unless setup speedlocked is on

This update represents incremental improvements to the game engine and content while work continues on SR Global Outbreak. Leader events also needed updates since some of our previous guessing can now be replaced with actual election outcomes. Leaders in 2025 and 2026 still represent possibilities or random leaders, we hope to keep updating those as time moves on. 2030 leaders are pure fiction or fun "what if" moments. Here is the full list of changes

• Engine changes for further MP sync stability, testing ongoing
• Major review of leader change events from 2023 to end of 2025. Some new leaders added.
• Update AIParams file from senior community members
• Fix to start button gridding after host transfers file even when other players are ready
• Fixed possible issues in WMData progression over multiple eras
• Modders can now adjust unit "rate of turn" to experiment with different rates of banking for units
• Modders can change the hotkeys to make WASD move the map

• Further engine updates related to zombie mechanics and infection mechanics for SR Global Outbreak
• Changes have been made to the 1936 events with the goal of improving AI behaviour to global events. Work ongoing with this ticket.
• Caches updated for all eras.
• Minor updates to various game data files

In case anyone is curious about the progress for Supreme Ruler Global Outbreak, we recently posted a video about our progress so far;

We've posted fasttrack updates over the last few months that made changes and improvements. Our latest fasttrack seems like a stable build and a good point to update all users to the latest features and content. Some of the changes seen in this update are part of the work to develop our next DLC, Supreme Ruler Global Outbreak. Some of the work done impacts the whole game engine so is being provided to all versions of the game. Additions to the tech tree and a new set of migration controls are probably the easiest additions to spot, but there are also some other engine improvements gained from the ongoing work. If you'd like to know more about the tech tree additions, check out our latest Feature Highlight on YouTube. Work has also been done on multiplayer synchronisation. We've made a few fixes that should greatly increase stability, but we will continue to look at improving this. We've been able to successfully run tests with stable multiplayer for 2-3h at a time. We've also verified that hosts can put everyone back in sync by reconnecting and transferring their savegame to all players. Again, work on this will continue. Update v.1324 Full Changelog

Summer time doesn't move as fast, but work is continuing for the Supreme Ruler series. Our apologies that there has been a longer than usual gap between public updates. The last few fasttrack updates we released had some elements we were concerned could have negative effects on gameplay, we needed more time to evaluate those changes before pushing it out to all users. There are lots of changes across various areas. The weather system wasn't working properly and has been fixed. The visual effects of unit shot, hit and kill have been updated. We found a cause of multiplayer sync errors and have solved it, hopefully that's the last remaining such issue. Some changes also relate to the existing WW1 scenario or the upcoming DLCs for 1936 Remastered and Global Outbreak. For anyone who missed the annoucement of those other two DLCs, you can watch the video here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYYjQABgW3A&t=27s See a full list of changes below, we're already working on more features and fixes for future updates.

Announcing the Steam NextFest Preview and Demo of Supreme Ruler Global Outbreak! Supreme Ruler Global Outbreak is a Survival Geopolitical Strategy game for PC, developed by BattleGoat Studios. It will be available as a DLC for Supreme Ruler 2030, and will also be included in the Supreme Ruler 2030 Expansion Pass. For players that don't own Supreme Ruler 2030 it will also be available as a stand-alone game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2878200/Supreme_Ruler_Global_Outbreak/ The game has been created using the next generation Supreme Ruler engine, developed originally for Supreme Ruler 2030, released in 2023, and is still being further developed. Ongoing work will in most cases see both projects benefit from new features, fixes and improvements. The demo for Supreme Ruler Global Outbreak is currently featured in the Steam NextFest, June 10th to 17th. The demo includes the first sandbox map for the game, Zombie outbreak, and tutorials to learn how to play. The full game will include 2 sandboxes, 2 campaigns and a scenario. Watch for more details coming soon. Supreme Ruler games offer players the opportunity to take on the role of the leader of a country of their choice. Nearly all present day countries and regions are represented, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Players have control over the finances, industries, military, research and diplomacy of the selected country. Gameplay is in variable speed real time, allowing actions while paused for planning and faster speeds to watch the action unfold. The Global Outbreak setting offers players new challenges of a world where emerging outbreaks threaten humanity's survival. Governing your country is much more challenging as the world threatens to crumble around you. The challenge shifts from can you win, to can you survive. For more than 40 years, the Supreme Ruler series has offered players deep and engaging strategy simulations. The series began with the original release of the first text-based Supreme Ruler game on the TRS-80 computer in 1982, making Supreme Ruler the longest running PC game franchise in development. Thank you to all our players, fans, and supporters for making this possible!

We realize that it's only been a few days since the last public update, but the community was quick to find some flaws in the new sanctions system, and we accidentally broke some of the tech tree in the last update, so adjusted our focus to get a new update ready as quickly as we could. With version 1278, we've solved all the bugs that have been identified in the sanctions system. There may still be other issues, so please let us know if you see flaws in the system. Below you'll find the full changelog for version 1278. It's a short list since it's been less than a week since the last update.

We're excited to release our latest updates to Supreme Ruler 2030! Changelog for Version 1275: More fixes to sanctions and data file updates. We've even begun updating the tech tree flow chart for the recent additions (it's updated to ~1980, work is ongoing). A new feature has been added to the game - regions can now be marked as sanctioned. This will put immediate diplomatic pressure on other regions. If you join a sanction, relations will degrade with the target. If you don't, your relations with the region that imposed the sanction will degrade.

Thank you for all the support and feedback!

For those who haven't been playing the Fasttrack beta versions of Supreme Ruler 2030, we just wanted to share details of a feature that's in development - Sanctions have been added to the game. In version 12.1.1268 and later, regions can enact trade sanctions on other regions. Sanctions can only be applied to the entire set of products, you cannot sanction single commodities. This simulates cutting off economic ties with a region, and will stop them from requesting diplomatic trades with your region as well as applying a markup to their purchase cost and reduce their selling price, relative to the percentage of world production that region produces. Sanctions must be enabled in the scenario settings or in the settings popup in game Relationship Changes Imposing sanctions on a region will negatively affect the relationships with that region, similar to Support Opposition found in some alert messages. When your allies sanction a region that you have not sanctioned, relationships between you and your ally will degrade over time, until you join the sanction. AI allies will weigh the relationships and choose which side to join, favoring their allies. World Market Sanctions Once a certain percentage of world market member regions have sanctioned a region, they will be unable to auto import / export from the world market. Regions are more likely to sanction others on harder difficulties. Market Tariffs Once a region has been sanctioned, the market price for commodities will be affected by the amount of total world supply they are cut off from. If 100% of a commodities producers have sanctioned a region, they pay the maximum tariff, currently defaulted to 100%, meaning they will have a 200% market cost when buying and a 50% price when selling. The ongoing design notes of this feature will be posted on our SupremeWiki site; https://supremeruler.fandom.com/wiki/Sanctions#Sanctions We're looking for feedback on this system, so if anyone is playing the fasttrack builds, please let us know what you think! If you like the feature, please take a few minutes to leave a review for the game and tell others what you thing of it.

Based on initial feedback from SR Great War Remastered players, we've found (and fixed) a few different issues in the data files. These mostly affect the 1914 content, but they share data files so the updates apply to all versions. These were previously on Fasttrack and have now moved to public. Update v.1238 extra content Full Changelog

• 1914 Leader stances updates. The goal is "more aggressive tactics" tied to leader stances
• 1914 region starting techs reviewed for all regions. Some post 1914 techs had incorrectly been assigned.

Today's update coincides with the release of our first DLC for Supreme Ruler 2030. You can now purchase Supreme Ruler The Great War Remastered. It is available as both a DLC and a stand alone version. When you purchase one of them, you get both added to your library. For those who missed this announcement video, here's a link to our YouTube channel; This update has a number of UI and quality of life fixes. We've also been continuing to clean up the game data to make region starting conditions and ongoing events more realistic. A focus was put on multiplayer testing in the last few weeks and a few different fixes are in this update and hopefully resolve the remaining multiplayer issues. In terms of content changes, most of them related to supporting the earlier eras so might not be immediately visible such as the different trains for the different eras. We've also done some work to expand our game translations. The game can now be played in Portuguese. Once we've completed all our testing and confirmed we haven't missed any of the files that need translating we'll add the tag of official support on Steam, but users can already check it out. Please let us know if you find any text that's still in English. We hope everyone continues to enjoy the game and the new DLC content.

Our latest fasttrack update has tested out fairly well so is suitable for a public update. There have been a number of fixes and improvements in the last few fasttrack updates and this all adds up to a fairly significant public update. This is our 6th major update since release and by our analysis we've now addressed the bulk of the concerns brought up at release. There remains room for improvement of course, and performance will always be something we come back to but this update should be a milestone in the game's ongoing development. Here are some of the big features players may find most interesting;

Multiplayer improvements for setup and stability. Since our most recent fasttrack we've had no further reports of games going out of sync but we will continue to monitor so we can resolve issues if they return.

Units no longer stop at the hex edge when they reach their destination. We'll be looking for feedback on this and might make further changes in future updates.

Game Balance improvements with a specific focus on air vs. ground combat. Air attack values of air units have been doubled. Defense value of air units increased by 25% to help with survivability.

Loyalty system changes so that sub region loyalty is not lost for the parent region's actions. This may get further changes but should address the immediate concerns of subregions with 0% loyalty.

Further improvements have been made to pathing to make Merchant Marine move more effectively. These pathing changes can also benefit other unit types. There is still some reduced game performance from disabling Merchant Marine but it's not as significant as before.

User Interface improvements quick access to activate/deactivate production facilities for land, air, sea and missile as well as a long-standing request for + series selection in multi select lists. Full Update 1217 Changelog

• Changes to unit movement - no longer stopping at hex edge
• Unprovoked war declaration penalty not applied to subregion civilians

Our team is pleased to bring you the next official update for Supreme Ruler 2030. We've been working hard with the community on a number of areas of improvement with weekly fasttrack updates. The latest version adds new features and makes significant improvements to existing features and content. Some noteworthy changes include;

• It's now possible to reform regions. AI regions will also look for this opportunity. For example, if Rojava conquers the rest of Syria, it will reform as Syria. Other regions like this exist. This has also been applied to Shattered World where you could conquer both halves of France, then release it as a unified France. This is a significant new function and might have unintended outcomes, but initial testing looks promising
• We've made changes to Proxy participation. AI regions will break Mutual Defense on unjust wars and even when justified, AIs will focus on defending their partner's territory, not following their partner region into new territories.
• A UI addition has been made to diplomatic offers. There is now a preview button which will open a new window so it is now possible to see the full details of a unit, unit design or technology before answering on a diplomatic offer.
• When starting a new game, players can now choose if they want the game's merchant marine system on or off. This can significantly decrease game performance but was a specific request from the community
• A UI addition has been made to diplomatic offers. There is now a preview button which will open a new window so it is now possible to see the full details of a unit, unit design or technology before answering on a diplomatic offer.
