This is a great real-time strategy game. It is more fun playing online with other strategy gamers, but it is still fun playing single player.

Yeah, it's a good game, but it has a lot of problems, just like its predecessor. The economic sphere is super-complicated and difficult to make heads or tails of, just like actually making any money in the game without going into economic failure. Since when does the International Monetary Fund take over countries when they don't pay what they owe? The U.S. and U.K. would have BEEN gone by now . . .

That is incorrect, ingame, the economy of a country fails if the interest it pays on its debt is larger than the countries income. In real life, if a country can not pay the interest on it's debt, it has to default on the debt, which generally ruins the economy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.29.20.93 (talk) 01:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I thought the economics model of this game (as well as the game itself) was trivially simple and generally sucked. But the talk page isn't the place for opinions... Thunderbunny 00:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

IMF?

I don't think it ever mentioned that the IMF would takeover the country. Still, I could think of no other explanation. There is an easy way of making money by the way. All you have to do is increase your diplomatic relationship with G-8 countries or any country that has a higher economic strength than yours. You do this through treaties but the immediate way is adjusting policies in your political sphere (Abortion, Contraception, etc.). After that, diplomatic relations will rise and when the time is right, go for a shopping spree. Buy more resources and increase public spending. By 2006-2008, you will become at least one of the top 10 economies.

Strategic Warfare

One more thing! Your diplomatic relations will not sink if you are not the oppressor of a certain nation that you want to nuke. You can do this by making that country pissed off with the covert operations you send to it. At one point, it may attack but it may take a long while.

Starforce Copy Protection

the copy protection system on this game often rejects legitimate copies of the game. this is extremely annoying and should be mentioned in the article

Links Need to be Updated

Links to SuperPower2.net, the SuperPower 2 Community at ForumPlasma, and the Realism 2.0 Mod should not have been removed. The Realism 2.0 Mod is a revolutionary mod for the game and its predecessor, Realism 1.6, has been downloaded by over 2,000 players. It is the most talked about Mod for the game and acts as an unofficial expansion to the game. It is hosted by ForumPlasma and SuperPower2.net. If these links can not be permitted, then the other links should be removed as well. 71.206.147.227 18:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Superpower2.net does not resolve, nor does www.superpower2.net. The forumplasma link violates the external link policy; forums generally are not allowed. And you have not offered proof of your assertions that Realism 2.0 is the "most talked about Mod" and "acts as an unofficial expansion." And the other links are gone now.

Dont Judge a Book

Des Plaines, Illionis, has a YMCA, a library, and a train station. I believe that the town is quite lovely, except that it sometimes has flooding. --63.3.13.131 00:35, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I doubt anyone cares

I doubt that anyone cares, but i have started to revise the page, expanding the information. I hope to get it to an adequate length in the coming weeks/months. Ono (talk) 15:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
