Changelog for Version 1275:

More fixes to sanctions and data file updates. We've even begun updating the tech tree flow chart for the recent additions (it's updated to ~1980, work is ongoing).

A new feature has been added to the game - regions can now be marked as sanctioned. This will put immediate diplomatic pressure on other regions. If you join a sanction, relations will degrade with the target. If you don't, your relations with the region that imposed the sanction will degrade. Full details of this feature can be found on the SupremeWiki:

Thank you for all the support and feedback!

For those who haven't been playing the Fasttrack beta versions of Supreme Ruler 2030, we just wanted to share details of a feature that's in development - Sanctions have been added to the game.

In version 12.1.1268 and later, regions can enact trade sanctions on other regions. Sanctions can only be applied to the entire set of products, you cannot sanction single commodities. This simulates cutting off economic ties with a region, and will stop them from requesting diplomatic trades with your region as well as applying a markup to their purchase cost and reduce their selling price, relative to the percentage of world production that region produces.

Sanctions must be enabled in the scenario settings or in the settings popup in game

Relationship Changes
Imposing sanctions on a region will negatively affect the relationships with that region, similar to Support Opposition found in some alert messages. When your allies sanction a region that you have not sanctioned, relationships between you and your ally will degrade over time, until you join the sanction. AI allies will weigh the relationships and choose which side to join, favoring their allies.

World Market Sanctions
Once a certain percentage of world market member regions have sanctioned a region, they will be unable to auto import / export from the world market. Regions are more likely to sanction others on harder difficulties.

Market Tariffs
Once a region has been sanctioned, the market price for commodities will be affected by the amount of total world supply they are cut off from. If 100% of a commodities producers have sanctioned a region, they pay the maximum tariff, currently defaulted to 100%, meaning they will have a 200% market cost when buying and a 50% price when selling.

The ongoing design notes of this feature will be posted on our SupremeWiki site;
https://supremeruler.fandom.com/wiki/Sanctions#Sanctions

We're looking for feedback on this system, so if anyone is playing the fasttrack builds, please let us know what you think! If you like the feature, please take a few minutes to leave a review for the game and tell others what you thing of it.

Based on initial feedback from SR Great War Remastered players, we've found (and fixed) a few different issues in the data files. These mostly affect the 1914 content, but they share data files so the updates apply to all versions. These were previously on Fasttrack and have now moved to public.

Update v.1238 extra content Full Changelog

• 1914 Leader stances updates. The goal is "more aggressive tactics" tied to leader stances
  
• 1914 region starting techs reviewed for all regions. Some post 1914 techs had incorrectly been assigned.
  
• More Portuguese translations (might be done, we're looking for anything we've missed)
  
• Minor UI fixes
  

Today's update coincides with the release of our first DLC for Supreme Ruler 2030. You can now purchase Supreme Ruler The Great War Remastered. It is available as both a DLC and a stand alone version. When you purchase one of them, you get both added to your library. For those who missed this announcement video, here's a link to our YouTube channel;

This update has a number of UI and quality of life fixes. We've also been continuing to clean up the game data to make region starting conditions and ongoing events more realistic. A focus was put on multiplayer testing in the last few weeks and a few different fixes are in this update and hopefully resolve the remaining multiplayer issues. In terms of content changes, most of them related to supporting the earlier eras so might not be immediately visible such as the different trains for the different eras.

We've also done some work to expand our game translations. The game can now be played in Portuguese. Once we've completed all our testing and confirmed we haven't missed any of the files that need translating we'll add the tag of official support on Steam, but users can already check it out. Please let us know if you find any text that's still in English.

We hope everyone continues to enjoy the game and the new DLC content. Watch for future announcements for what our next DLC will include. Please take a few minutes to leave a Steam review for the game.
