Synopsis

The Second World is a turn-based strategy game set in a science fiction scenario. The game world is divided into 25 countries and four opponents (all optionally can be controlled by humans) want to become the dominant force. This is achieved either by taking control of 15 countries (either by buying them or by force), driving all competition out of the sector, or by obtaining a certain number of victory points through economic or belligerent achievements.

The gameplay focuses on economic management and can be considered an extended Kaiser. During each turn (which represents three months), the player can adjust country settings, for example by hiring agents (can be sent on special missions such as assassinating an opponent), trading shares, trading produced goods, setting tax or starting a war. The construction of buildings like hospitals or factories is particularly important. All these factors determine the country's statistics, e.g. productivity, prosperity or mortality rate. A slain leader will be replaced by offspring if available. Gameplay is menu-based, with the exception of smaller action sequences.
