BattleGoat's new Real-Time strategy game incorporates exploration, resource management, diplomacy, and tactical planetary and space battles. Start from a humble home planet, dominate your system, and expand across the stars to become Galactic Ruler!

BattleGoat Studios is proud today to announce Galactic Ruler, a new strategy title from the creators of the Supreme Ruler series. "Since the release of Supreme Ruler 2010 almost fifteen years ago, our team and players have discussed the possibility of applying the game system we created to a space setting", shared Lead Programmer and Co-Founder George Geczy. "Having developed our game engine and gameplay mechanics over all this time, we finally saw a path to making this goal a reality."

Players will now be able to expand their planetary battles into the space around their homeworld, and from their home system they can expand further within a custom-generated galaxy. The possibilities are endless with options for galaxy size, system density and a variety of alien races to play as or against.

Galactic Ruler offers real-time strategy game play at both the planetary level and in space. Lead your faction in diplomacy or conquest across a unique galactic map where any system might hold hostile enemies or resource riches. Harness needed resources and develop advanced technology to rule the galaxy in the latest offering from BattleGoat Studios.

The BattleGoat Team

BattleGoat Studios Releases Trump's World Update and Map Editor for Supreme Ruler Ultimate

BattleGoat Studios has released a major update to its flagship strategy game title "Supreme Ruler Ultimate", featuring new content, modern world updates, and a set of world-building and editing tools.

The original Trump Rising DLC released in 2016 brought the world a hypothetical future featuring President Donald Trump. Today's Trump's World update adds a new 2018 Sandbox featuring modern day tensions and relationships, plus new opportunities and threats. Commented Lead Programmer George Geczy, "Starting in the modern day, players can take on the provocations of Russia, Iran, North Korea, and much more. They can play as the US to Make America Great Again, or take on the challenge of other countries trying to make their way in a rapidly changing and unstable world."

Existing Sandboxes and Campaigns have been updated with new leaders and relationships resulting from recent elections and geo-political changes. Gameplay has also been updated with a number of new features, AI improvements, and other additions, including regular tweets by President Trump to the rest of the world (some are real, some are not - will you be able to tell which are which?)

The 2020 future scenarios have also been updated to reflect real world changes while presenting hypothetical situations including "Divided States" (a US region that has collapsed along political lines) and "Global Crisis", a world where individual nations become increasingly isolationist and aggressive.

In addition, BattleGoat is pleased to release the Supreme Ruler Map Editor and Content Editor tools, for the first time allowing players to not only modify existing maps and sandboxes, but to create entirely new past, present and future scenarios, and even entirely new worlds.

Availability: The Supreme Ruler Trump's World Update is available immediately as a FREE update to Supreme Ruler Ultimate. The Supreme Ruler Map Editor and Content Editor tools are also available immediately, for free, under the Tools Library on Steam.

Updated August 2nd, 2018

Version 9.1.76 Changelog
