Geo-Political Simulator

Can anyone PM me an address for the "store" where I may procure GPS2?

[Crybaby Bunting]

Nothing pleases me more than starting a game as China, instantly taking over Mongolia and then the two tiny countries near the South (Nepal and something else )

Bhutan?

You should at least take the trouble to learn the name of the places you subjugate.

It's not as if it matters, within a week or so it's just China

My PC is just not good enough to handle this game, unfortunately. I can play it, but the load times and such take so long that it really isn't worth the hassle. It took 30 minutes for the game to start!

Yes, my computer is from 2006.

Pirate can also be a verb. Everybody is pirating software because they are pirates.

And as long as they're not contravening the board rules no one will get banned.

Hitting the thesaurus lately?

Beg pardon?

Can anyone PM me an address for the "store" where I may procure GPS2?

You are kidding, right?

All the more curious is that you've had a warning for such things in the past. Take a few days off.

I've also PM'd you a link to the site where you can purchase GPS2. It will be waiting for you on your return.

Contravening is a big word to people from Hicksville

I had no luck at any store... Although I only checked two

Is it worth the $30 buying it online? It's something I'd probably want to try first so I'm going to look for a demo. Is there such a thing?

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Judging by the official site - which you can get to with a quick Google search - there is no demo.

There are, however, screenshots.

Someone appears to have punched Barack Obama really hard in the skull.

[Rocky]

Yeah I had a look at those... I'll try and go through some YouTube vids after work tonight. That's how I got sold on MineCraft.

[Crybaby Bunting]

In another game I played I tried to pick wars with both Japan and Tapai at exactly the same time. The Japs surrendered faster :/

[stokeriño]

Taiwan have been preparing (meaninglessly) for a Chinese invasion for decades. Japan aren't even allowed to have a proper army.

I tried to do the tutorial....but I got stuck when I was supposed to attack a city (there was none!) in Afgan.

[Pizza]

I did that, it took me a while to figure it out. You have to zoom in.

[Ruki]

Oh, well then

[DJ Ice]

Do you need a good graphics card for this? Because mine is horrible ATM

[apsham]

I barely have one at all, the game looks rather choppyish - it's very playable, no lag or anything like that.

So glad this is finally playable by someone such as myself aka, a cheapwad. I took over North Korea and instantly launched war. Couldn't figure out how to give the go ahead for nukes so I went down FAAAST.

Had the same problem as well. But yeah, I probably had to zoom in (which I just figured out how to do).

Also, how the hell do you use nukes? I wanna nuke some bitches!

I'm going to give this a whirl.

In these kind of games I tend to go completely batshit. I got this game one year for Christmas, took Saudi Arabia and proceeded to totally turn the country around. People were pissed at the radical change (turning Islam from the official religion to merely a legal one, giving women the right to vote, etc).

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this puppy yet. Maybe have the US turn into a country where the most popular clothing item are shirts that say "Fox News Was Right".

[Crybaby Bunting]

I always seem to get confused what to do once I've created greater China (Mongolia, Bhutan, Nepal)

If I attack Khazakstan then I get raped by Russia

If I attack Vietnam/Thailand etc. then I end up getting raped by ridiculous fighting conditions.

If I attack South Korea then I get raped by America, if I attack North Korea then my own government rapes me

If I attack Russia; nuff said.

If I attack Mymar or India then I'm out of power in a week.

If I attack Afghanistan/Pakistan then it takes 4 years to get close to their capital.

So ultimately I'm left in an area where I don't know how to progress further... so would probably have to turn the country into a economic one, not military based :/
