Superpower. A broken and terribly bugged piece of shit with awful graphics, very little sound, no music, and just a really unprofessional implementation all around.

I've been playing it, on and off, for years now. Help me stop. Find me a new strategy game. My new game...

A - Must take place in the real world. Keep your elves and aliens to yourself.

B - Must take place in the post-industrial era. No more swordfights, ok?

C - Must encompass the entire world. Yeah, you heard me.

What else is out there?

Well, there's Evil Genius... but "the real world" is sort of a stretch there.

Hearts of Iron, duh.

Rise of Nations.

Here's a cure worse than the disease:
Civilization 4

Hearts of Iron 2 patched up to full. Everything is better.

Looked up the HoI2 website. Interesting.

One question, though. Is there a time limit on the game? I mean, does it all stop when some arbitrary year is reached? Like "It's 1950, WW2 is over even if you have been dicking around for too long!" I like being weird obscure little countries, and I'd hate to have the game end just as I was getting somewhere on the path of making one a world power.

You can get little fan-made mods that make it possible to play forever.
And yes, GET HOI2.

Unlimited Time Mods work but after 1950 the events like "Austrian Anschluss" and "Britain surrenders to Axis" stop so it gets less interesting without historical/alt-historical context.

And you can play anything from Luxemburg to Russia, although I've never seen Luxemburg actually do anything or even build any troops when I play as Germany or France...

Hearts of Iron 2 with a few teeny changes.

I agree with everone else that HoI2 is what you should choose but I also recommend Victoria.

I have Superpower and up until a month ago Superpower 2(until I was frustrated and trashed it) and found it ok after it was all patched up but not too exciting.

What about Superpower: Classic? Its a game played on a message board, and is very entertaining. Its either tha or HoI 2, which I also recomend.
