Did they ever fix "Superpower"?
Last time I "played" this game it was an unitelligable mess; upgrades in infrastructure did next to nothing for 1st World Nations, among other things.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

As an avid SP player, I can tell you...
Sort of.
There are still several idiotic bugs in the game, but nothing truly game-breaking. Just save every couple turns. I've started up my Brazilian Empire again, and have annexed large chunks of South America, the Middle East, and India. Southeast Asia is up next.
I've adopted the tactic of mass-producing upgraded versions of old low-generation hardware. For example, another ten thousand brand new Sherman tanks have rolled off my assembly lines. Even after being upgraded to level six in all tech areas, they still won't stand up to a real first-rate battle tank... But that's why I build them by the tens of thousands.

If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now! All votes for me! Wheeee!" -- Lagmonster

Just get Rise of Nations, it has everything worth doing in Superpower (nuking stuff... and... that's about it) plus some awesome RTS action.

RTS sucks, for the most part. Build units, rush enemy, bla bla
