This is the tail of a continuation of a game AFTER victory was achieved via domination.
As I had achieved my aim of dominating the globe, I decided to research some additional technologies and the effect in the game.
Specifically, I wanted the ICBM tech and the Manhattan project.
Being so far infront with technology, tanks V's long bowman, I didn't want a military victory on the battlefield. I wanted to 'push the buttons'.
Now I had 2 remaining Civ's to fight, both on Islands seperate from my main continent, upon which I had eliminated the other 5 Civ's. Making so much money, roughly 1.5-2K /turn, I could rush produce ICBM's on my main continent with no problem. So it became a matter of just "push the button Igor" *Hugo's house of horror's*. I was Catherine the great ironically too.
Actually use of the ICBM's gives a great cinematic scene, push the little red button, to launch the ICBM. Select your target city, anywhere on the map, and zoom out to get the full affect.
Down drops your ICBM, like the sword of Damaclea's *opp's, can't spell*, a bright flash, and up goes the mushroom cloud. Very much like reality we see from nueclear testing. the sound and vision, are most realistic.
Being an Elgalitarial type MADMAN I evenly spread out my barrage over the 2 opponents. 5 Nuke's per opponent per turn.
After 5 turns of doing this, I still haven't tired of the nueclear cinematic, I had the Mongolian opponent, Gengis Khan no less, asking for peace, after I rejected his initial offer of 10 turns, I countered with, 10 turns peace, and 3 of his cities selected as the top 3 on list, which were rejected, but offered back to me straight away, which I accepted.
A bug in Version 1.00 that I was playing. But peace was made. The other Civ, Isobela, the Spanish Psycopath/fanatical religious devote. Refused to accept my generous offer of 2 cities and peace, so I continued to blast her till ALL her cities were either a level 1-2, little or no building, with 1 or zero defenders remaining. Upon which I launched my tanks and Armoured personal carriers to remove her from her main Island.
Now granted this war was a moot point, as the game had been won, but it was a fun tactic, and if allowed to progress to this point, can make for an interesting time.
One final observation, A United nations election was held, no I held the winning votes so could vote anything in or out I wanted.
A vote to BAN nueclear weapons, was held, and I decided to ban building them as I had a stock pile of 2 missiles/city anyway. The vote went, '...ban neuclear weapons...' all fine and dandy, but the other 2 civ's actually voted to KEEP them even though they were a long way off the required tech's and had been at the recieving end of my arsenal for 50+ year's. Most unusual I thought.
Maybe it was all the radiation, in their lands, maybe they were just punch drunk from my barrages, maybe it was version 1.52 *I updated and continued playing the saved game*, maybe they wanted a chance at revenge once the required tech were recived.
I'd have liked a chance to witness a retalitory strike, as I had built bomb shelters/SDI defences Just to see how they worked.
Oh well, maybe in another game with a more developed comp opponent, Or I could gift a couple of nukes, but how?? Hmm maybe gift a city on the continent with nukes inside........maybe.....
Anywho *Phonectically typing*, the men in the white coats are bring my jacket to wear, and have prepared my room for the night.
