Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond

Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond places you at the helm of a modern state, where your decisions will shape the future of the world. Developers Jujubee are constantly striving for realism and complexity, offering a true-to-life experience of the challenges faced by contemporary leaders. Realpolitiks 3 offers a whole host of new features for would-be leaders to sink their teeth into – Here's just a brief taster of how this latest edition will raise your leadership skills to new heights.

  • New Combat System: Realpolitiks 3 has revolutionized the series' combat system. Units can now move freely across the map, with battles taking place along fronts in various provinces, allowing for a more strategic approach to military management. Air support can now be used to bolster your forces, and new possibilities are introduced with the inclusion of battles in Earth's orbit and on other planets. Prepare for new challenges, as you will now need to manage not only land, naval, and air forces, but also space armies! The series has now moved away from separate battlefields and micromanagement of units, focusing instead on grand strategic decisions that can determine the fate of entire nations.
  • The Role of the Head of State, Politicians, and Parties: The role of the head of state and other key political figures has been significantly expanded. Your leader can gain experience and new skills, becoming a more effective ruler over time. However, beware of character flaws that may impact your governing skills – will you manage a state led by a gambler or a less-than-brilliant leader? You can also hire specialists for your ministries to leverage their abilities and create political dynasties. Choose from 18 new political systems, including anarchy, technocracy, or military junta, and shape your government according to your vision.
  • Space Exploration and Colonization: Take your ambitions to new heights with the ability to colonize the Moon and other planets in our Solar System. The scope of Realpolitiks 1's colonization has returned, but in a completely new format. In addition to traditional military operations, you can now explore space, develop new technologies, and establish bases in interplanetary space. Space expansion becomes a key element of your strategy, offering unprecedented opportunities for growth.
  • New Building System: Provincial development has taken on a new significance in Realpolitiks 3. Players can now build multiple structures within a single province, depending on its level of development. Watch as road networks and cities expand, reflecting your progress and strategy. Every investment decision becomes more crucial, with infrastructure development being a key to success.
  • New "Way of Life" Mechanic: Realpolitiks 3 is introducing a new mechanic that defines a country's current "Way of Life." This mechanic is not directly related to the current political system or parameters, but rather signifies the long-term attitude and expectations of the population. Points are earned by the head of state and government officials. Politicians now have a new parameter—Ideology, which influences the "Way of Life" by steadily guiding the nation towards certain traits, such as authoritarianism or liberalism. These changes define the long-term development and policies of the state.
  • Leader and Political System Customization: At the start of the game, players will be able to choose their political system and customize their initial leader. Will you govern your state with an iron fist as a military dictator, or lead as a democratic ruler with a liberal approach? The choice is yours, and every decision has its consequences.
  • Grand Strategy Engine and Cutting-Edge Technology: Fulqrum Publishing and Jujubee are excited to introduce a suite of groundbreaking technologies that elevate the game beyond its predecessors. The new Grand Strategy Engine, along with their proprietary Strategy Forge tools and the advanced AI system GS-AIM, mark a significant leap forward in their development capabilities. These state-of-the-art technologies not only distinguish this installment from previous entries but also address some of the critical issues players experienced in Realpolitiks 2.
