London, United Kingdom – September 7th, 2010
-- Rulers of Nations, the geo-political PC simulation created by
Eversim LLC, is set to empower players and allow them to emulate
world leaders. Today sees the launch of the first-look trailer
video for view at:

How would you solve major world issues such as Afghanistan? What
about Ahmadinejad’s nuclear ambitions for Iran? And, nearer
to home, how would you deal with the credit crunch and restart the
stumbling economy? Rulers of Nations is about to give you the
chance to find out...
Rulers of Nations creator Eversim has completely rebuilt its
powerful, ultra realistic geo-political game engine so that it now
includes new cause-and-effect challenges such as: managing refugees
after a regional catastrophe, colonising countries, and buying
black market weapons. The player is also required to deal with the
growing issue of researching and securing sustainable energy
sources, whether renewable types, such as wind and solar, or
cheaper but more controversial processes such as deep-sea oil
drilling.
Having to balance economic, military, social and environmental
issues is not easy, and deciding which route to global supremacy
you take is a key part of the strategy. Economic and military wars
can be decisive, but more subtle routes are often more effective.
Spying and espionage may be frowned upon, but forging alliances
with your enemy’s enemy will always reap rewards.
In Rulers of Nations players can take part in solo campaigns, or
lock horns with up to 16 other online leaders where you choose
whether other human or AI leaders are your state’s friends or
foe.
Rulers of Nations is played on a detailed 3D world map that
shows 192 countries, and 8,000 cities, in a visually stimulating
user interface, complete with multiple windows and on-screen video
inserts. Each country has current data on 400 key factors
(economics, energy, monetary, military etc.) based on current data
from 50 international organisations including the United Nations,
G20, NATO, NAFTA and OPEC.
To add further realism, 3D renders of the major real world
leaders are included so now you can dialogue and look directly into
the whites of their eyes. Who will blink first?
Rulers of Nations will hit stores late September on DVD-ROM
format and online in digital format. The game will be localised in
to English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Russian.
