Supreme Ruler Ultimate Version 9.0.50 Update Released!
We are pleased to release our latest update to all Supreme Ruler Ultimate players!
The highlights of this version are significant changes to the AI diplomacy code and the economic model code, especially for long-term games. A great deal of improvements have been made for games that play from 1936 into the 1950's, and for AI actions when the maps are set to High Volatility, as well as AI code that handles alliances and "endless wars".
Changes in this version:
Version 9.0.50
In High volatility, more use of variability in AI decisions on alliances, wars
In increased volatility, more chance of AI attacks against protected (sphere ally) regions
Volatility increases movement of diplomatic relations and belli over time
Idle wars will improve relations and reduce belli over time
treatyintegrity and externalintegrity will gradually increase (dip difficulty related, civ appr too)
Belli is gained against largest army / largest build cap (2020 style, reduced)
wmapproval and subsidyrate gradually rise over time, based on civ approval
AI consider idle war in peace offers (prevent endless wars)
Ruler AI - "nosphere" game option expanded to more alliances / war calculations
Improvements to some random factors
Petrol, Electricity, and Finished goods production & use multipliers will gradually increase from SR1936 to SRCW/2020 values (10x and 20x) over 10 years
Node production will slowly increase/decrease if less/greater than world demand (not U)
Fixed bug preventing regions selling colony stocks to market (ie rubber) causing hoarding
Increased AI frequency of trade offers for goods with incoming trade source (ie colony)
AI regions will offer los/transit/mutualdef first before an alliance offer
More possibility for AI regions with smaller armies to declare war in "gang up" situation
Greater emphasis to ally / war with bordering regions
greater use of aistance (.scenario file) and playeraistance (.cvp file) for decisions
Clean up AI thread random number functions to new standard
Belli no longer has gradual decline on maps with AI stance above normal
If govt falls in AI region that is not part of superpower alliance, then major policy and relations shift (except if volatility is lowest)
Reported region-fall crash fixed, somehow. Original cause unknown.
AI regions-not-at-war issue with not researching units resolved
Minor UI fixes related to UN territory
Games will begin with a wider range of election dates starting 2 years out
US Election dates now progress when leader doesn't change
