Lead your people to glory and write a new chapter of history in a real-time strategy game where you lead any contemporary nation in an attempt to secure world dominance. Realpolitiks II is now available as the DRM-free game in development on GOG.COM. Remember, the road to supremacy is filled with many modern world issues. You’ll have to manage your nation’s economy, command armies, conduct diplomatic and espionage actions, and tackle global threats such as terrorism, pandemics, famine, and more.

Until 25th November 2020, 6 PM UTC, Realpolitiks II is available on GOG.COM 10% off. If you own Realpolitiks in your library, the same discount rises to 25%.

Note: This game is currently in development. See the <span class="bold">FAQ</span> to learn more about games in development, and check out the forums to find more information and to stay in touch with the community.

Crosmando: I think the problem with grand strat games in a modern setting is that the politics of our world are very much set up to stop wars breaking out. For example you couldn't invade and annex smaller nations like you can in historical settings because you've got the UN and NATO etc which would step in, like say in the First Gulf War Iraq invaded tiny little Kuwait but still got a massive global coalition which destroyed them. Even superpowers like Russia were only able to do landgrabs like Crimea by taking advantage of a revolution, and even then at massive cost to their international reputation. And then there's the issue of nuclear weapons which prevent world wars from breaking out.

I think this game tries to focus more on different types of warfare (cyberwarfare, funding foreign rebels, espionage etc) so it'll be interesting to see how that goes.
China just conquered honk kong middle ages style. Legit tyranny and evil.

Well, the first game had two sci-fi campaigns for those who, like me, don't want real-world politics in their games. It was kind of a decent "babby's first grand strategy" game, I'll check... wait, they again didn't include the achievements from Steam on GOG? Dammit, devs. Also, why does it have a better discount there?

I think the current Chinese regime is worrisome in many ways, but I would stop short of calling it evil.

I've yet to see a nation not be at least somewhat abusive when placed in a position of authority (like China was when the UK lease on Hong Kong expired).

You look into any countries' backyard and you'll find a variable amount of dirt.
