Hi,

I request Matrix to create a game representing the modern day geopolitical world. I have played both Superpower 1 & 2 as well as Supreme Ruler 2010 but they suck. I have also heard about a French company making such a game named "Mission President GPS" but I dont think they would be able to make it right. I have confidence in Matrix and I request them to please create such a game. Thanks

The geopolitical situation isn't as interesting since the collapse of the Soviet Union . . . but in a couple of years China should emerge as a superpower.

Are you kidding? The multi-polar world is much more "interesting" since the Soviet Union disappeared...

Well when the Soviets still existed - only lunatics like Reagan and Thatcher had their fingers on the nuclear button. Now Iranians will get them, thats no big deal those guys are no threat to anybody

Modern geopolitical game seems like very VERY hard task to do right, and is obviously not as sexy as good ole proven WW2.

For what is worth I think Supreme Ruler 2010 was very good, and I can hardly imagine more ambitious modern geopolitical game (that would actually work

)

I don't know what would please the original poster if he was disappointed with SP2010. Modern "multi-polar", asymertical and whatnot, situation cannot be represented by something as simple as, say, GG WaW (we all wish it could)
