TURMOIL AROUND THE GLOBE
In the USA, the campaign rages on, play a candidate and reach the White House to redefine US domestic and foreign policy. In France, choose your head of government and try to run the country with a minority in parliament. In Germany, at the head of major automotive companies and in the face of global competition, make the switch to electric vehicles and develop your market share. In Ukraine, at the beginning of 2025, the front line is frozen, but new Western contributions and sanctions against Russia are beginning to weigh on the Kremlin: go on the offensive and secure a peace agreement that will benefit your country. And all over the world, gain in influence and growth, and find synergies by combining the management of your country with that of their major national companies.
NEW KEY FEATURES
New map
The new 3D world map is 10 times more precise than GPS4, with almost 2 million polygons and more than 10 million grid squares for you to build on along with the ability to zoom in closer to the ground. There are new high-resolution textures (forests, rocks, farmland...) along with the modeling of rivers, lakes, bridges, tunnels, and more than 60 types of buildings (commercial, factories, infrastructures...). The military unit movement AI is optimized according to the type of terrain and highways.
New Macro-Economic Engine
It has been restructured to include the simulation of thousands of worldwide companies that contribute to the GDP of the country, with finer detail on economic exchanges between countries, product shortages and surplus situations, price variation, taxes, embargoes, etc. The engine includes all the buildings present on the world map and in all activity sectors (in GPS4, only the energy sector was included). New sectors have been added: fertilizer, hydrogen, food industry, medical equipment, mobile phones, etc
New interface
The interface has been completely redesigned and revamped to be more dynamic and user-friendly. It is designed to adapt to different-sized screens and to make use of their respective configurations, especially for 4K screens or double screens. The player can also choose the scale of the interface for optimal viewing and to pre-position game windows to organize and personalize their space. A generalized information system allows the player to access detailed explanations or additional information on game elements.
