How is the diplomacy Diplomat?
Have a 4 day weekend and was going to pick up Superpower2 but has been pushed up to the 12th of October.
I hope its a great game. Have not been follwing a new game like this since Call to Power 2. Like Ctp2 there seems to be many who made mods to improve play in the first Superpower.One thing will be given with SP2 are tools with info on how to make there own mods and also how to make changes to the ai.

I think the only bug that would be more annoying is the game crashing after hitting "New Game".

Still Playing SP1
Picked up SP1 when it first game out -didnt care for it. But with patches 1.4 and mods this the game now has new life. Someone named Roko dug into the ai files and made new files -trained the EHE ai program to change the way ai acts. Some nations are at cold war stance and most hot spots are in the middle east . Alot more believeable ai. This happens with many games . Take Hearts of Iron the C.O.R.E mod took the game to its next level. A labor love for the game. So far the reviews on SP2 has not been good. Too many CTD,s its too unstable and odd actios by the ai.Like Finland declaring war on the US for no reason. For now its a wait and see if they can patch this game so it will work right.

I played the demo. I have to admit that the demo dramatically improved my impressions of the game.
Overall, the game is a huge improvement over the first one. The graphics and interface are much better. The AI in the limited time I played seemed decent. The game also introduces some new things to control like internal laws. I feel like you can do a lot more to affect your country than you could in SP1. The tactical battles are much much better now than in SP1. Also, on the strategic level, wars are much better now as you can move your armies to seize provinces.
Having said all the positives, I do have some negative comments.
It seems like it is very easy to miss important events unless you pause the game every 5 seconds. You get so many messages or events that you basically need to pause the game to properly respond to each one. In the demo, after I invaded Ukraine, I was attacked by the US. I should have gotten a declaration of war message or something. Nope. The first time I knew something was up was when the battle report window came up (I lost the battle) and I noticed that the US flag was displayed next to the enemy army. So I paused the game, and switched the map display to show armies as flags and low and behold there were like 10 big US armies all over Ukraine kicking my butt!
You should not have to cycle tons of messages and events to find out that a major power declared war on you.
IIRC, SP1 was turn based. SP2 seems to have moved to a real-time format where you can pause when you need to check something or give orders. Frankly, I think turn-based was better.
Lastly, is their a way to prune the list of nations you are interested in? I hate to have to cycle through a list of every single nation on the face of the Earth every time I want to send a treaty or view a stat.

). So I just placed an order off of Amazon.com w/free shipping, so sometime around the end of the month it should be delivered. That works out better for me 'cause it would be a distraction that I can't afford for the next week or two; I need to focus on school stuff.
