Supreme Ruler The Great War Remastered includes the previous game content in an updated game engine. Set in the First World War, the Central Powers and the Triple Entente prepare to attack, with no understanding of the scale of conflict they will unleash. Over the coming years, the armies of these nations would come to understand how air power, submarines and artillery were about to transform how war was waged.
Designed within the updated Supreme Ruler 2030 engine, the game content benefits from improved performance running in 64 bit. The world map theaters and AI pathing have also been improved for smoother game flow. Game visuals are also improved with DirectX 11 support and updates to specific terrain, unit and building elements. Border graphics, grid graphics, lighting and water visuals have also been improved.
The updated game engine also includes numerous new features from the development of Supreme Ruler 2030 and Galactic Ruler projects.

When leading your empire, you can now take full control of your colonies. Switch between them as needed to run your empire your way or use a colony as a bargaining chip with other nations.
