Paradox Interactive today released a new trailer for Supreme Ruler 2020 that provides a look at the fresh set of deadly challenges that await in the first expansion pack, Global Crisis.

As the world is confronted with a tension filled situation in Gaza and Russia threatens to turn off Europe's gas supply, the nations of the world reach out with tentative arms of diplomacy. Yet the destructive nature of war lurks ever-present, somewhere ahead at the next political crossroads. Global Crisis presents a world where events run in parallel with those of today. Will there be peace and fair trade for all? Or is it just a matter of time before war descends upon all nations?

• New flag based H.U.D's to help identify friendly and enemy units on the battlefield
• BATTLEGROUPS provide the ability to organize units from the battalion level and up
• Scripted and random events now force players to stay on their toes, in order to respond to changing events
• An expanded tech tree and new units extend the challenge in the latter stages of campaigns
• The variety of challenges grows with a new campaign and 20 scenarios for single and multiplayer
