Those specs are quite similar to my home desktop; I think my video card is a shade better and I have more RAM. The game isn't lightning quick, by any means, but with satellite imagery on low I'd say I get about 20-30 seconds per day at the fastest setting. Sometimes less, sometimes more.

I wish I'd heard of this deal -- I spent $29.99 through Impulse less than two weeks ago! ::grumbles::

I just got the price drop alert and grabbed it. I have been wanting this for quite some time, but $29.99 seemed a tad high, so I let it go for a very long time. I hope it runs smoothly.

Game speed has been discussed many times so I'm not going to cover the topic but to say that "fast" is subjective. If by some miracle we tripled the game speed some ppl would still be asking for faster while many others already say they don't often use the fastest speed while playing. It depends greatly on your style of play and how much of the game features you dig into.

This deal was a real boon to me. I could finally afford to move on from trying out the demo.

The Gamersgate version I bought dosen't seem to come the Launcher.exe file. The basic game still works fine using the normal SupremeRulerCW.exe but the Paradox Launcher seems to be missing.

I would like to run mods on this game and see when updates are out so can anyone tell me where to get the paradox game launcher for this game?

It checks for updates itself. There is a option to update on the main menu that only shows when there is an update available(non steam versions only of course).(to my knowledge there is no support for the paradox launcher).
As hundane mentioned.. updates are usually posted the the dev forums before they are available for the auto updater, and its where most of the modders tend to be.

Perhaps I should try to be more clear. I like being able to switch between using mod versions and the base game. As far as I can tell I need the Paradox launcher to be able to do that without have to re-engineer the game between switches.

Say I feel like playing the cold war era so I use the base game, If I want to use the modern era mod I can just click the launcher and go. If I wanted to go back to my cold war era game... well as far as I can tell I would have to damn near reinstall the game.

I just want to avoid that and still enjoy the mods + base game.

IIRC , the mods are treated as Custom Scenarios. So you would launch the game normally, choose scenario, choose custom scenario, pick the mod you wanted to play and then the region plus options etc.. then play the game. Its all pretty easy.

You can download alot of the mods on Fistalis's web page which is in his sig above.

This is correct, with the exception of my UI modifications. Which will be included in any game you start after installing them. None of those will effect how a default game plays out though. Most of them simply provide functions I thought were needed (easier to see U.N ratings and Manual bond repayments). The satellite menu is the exception but it can simply be ignored if you don't want to use it in the current game since the AI doesn't use them anyway.
All other files are only used by the game when you choose the modern world scenario in custom scenarios or sandbox.

No need to uninstall the mod to play the base game. As a matter of fact I have all my mods installed and can still play the base game just as BG intended.

If your really worried about it you can have multiple copies installed but it takes a minor reg edit to get them both to update when updates are released.(I have 4 versions installed right now.. 1 I use to play 1 thats used as a test bed to make sure I include the proper files in my mod releases, 1 thats running an old version to test issues with my mods people might see using old versions and one clean installation that doesn't get touched incase I really screw something up while modding I can just copy paste these files to the botched version)

Or you can simply back up all the files.. SRCW is rather small in total. something like 900mb for a clean install.(smaller if you zip it up)

To further clarify, this is not a Paradox game, the is a BattleGoat Studios game published by Paradox. There is no launcher for the game.
