After a long time out, due to my studies at university, I return. And with a new game to relax :)
Supremacy1914 is the game that tries to reproduce the Europe scenario in the first world war. You have to administrate a country, recruiting armies, building fortresses, railways, and factories for artillery. It is possible to use ships too. Diplomacy is essential, as you can guess, since it is not possible to win a war alone. Have you ever thought that you could do better at WW1 than the Kaisers, Czares, Kings and Presidents of that time? Is your chance.
The game appeared to me to be highly based in Europa Universalis - a game produced by Paradox Entertainment. The game is great: imagine a "risk" game. Now imagine that you can build some things in your provinces that can help you in war, that diplomacy matters more, etc.. This is Europa Universalis.The difference between the site and this game is that Europa Universalis (now in his third version) passes in medieval europe, has some more options and it isn't online.
I loved the idea of its German creators. I hope the find a way of keeping it free after the beta test passes.
One last thing: it is slow in old computers. The administrators advice 1 Ghz or higher, plus 128 ram. If your computer is old, it may be slow. My one has half of this, and I have to wait some time to load (10 minutes LOL), but it works perfectly after that.
- Site address: www.supremacy1914.com
- Time spent on-line: In peaceful times, 10 minutes per day work. But it is first world war, and peace is difficult ;) Prepare yourself to 3-4 different log-ins around the day, with at least 25 minutes each. Yes, it needs a lot of time.
- Free? Totally free, and you can play as many games as you want. But it is still on Beta, and I don't know how it will be when officially released.
