Civ5 Nuclear Missile (Atomic bomb video)

[V. Soma]

Here is the Video...

It's clearly bomb, not missile. But cool, yes.

It's lame that they don't have ICBMs in this game

They have. It's a few techs later.
Or do you mean a missile that can reach any target where ever on the map from the place it is stationed?

 

[Celevin]

It requires and CONSUMES 1 uranium. I don't think I'll be using too many nukes!

But resource will be available after the unit's destruction. Just don't forget to use the nukes you've build

That would be an ICBM (Inter Continental Balistic Missile).

If it can't reach across most, if not all, of the world it's not really an ICBM.

That's why you'd want to play as the Russians

Celevin said that it "CONSUMES" one uranium. Assuming he's right that means that once you've built a nuke the uranium is gone forever, unlike how resources for other units work. But it seems a little pointless to have uranium work the same way as then you could have 1 source of uranium and build as many nukes as you want, as long as you fire them and magically get that uranium back.

Hm, maybe I read it wrong.

 

[V. Soma]

But resource will be available after the unit's destruction.

Are you sure of that? I don't say you are not right, just asking...

 

[r_rolo1]

Well, atleast there is no logical reason to be otherwise Not that being logical matters much to Firaxis

Title changed, accordingly

Well, that's pretty much what an ICBM is. Are they not including this in Civ5?

 

[alanthreonus]

Even if you get the uranium back after you use nukes, you still have to rebuild them, so I doubt a civ with only one uranium would really be a nuclear threat.

 

[stealth_nsk]

Well, that's pretty much what an ICBM is. Are they not including this in Civ5?

No, because there seems to be no (or very small indirect) diplomatic penalties for using nukes. So they're going to be more common.

Yes. I'd recommend them building GDR instead. It's linebreaker too, but reusable

 

[AriochIV]

Wow, they really do have a B-29 drop it.

There is both a bomb version and a missile version. But the missile is a short-ranged version that can be sub launched. There is no ICBM.

 

[neev]

While watching the video, I said "nice" four times.

 

[stealth_nsk]

Here it is:

The resource becomes available to you once more if the unit or building is destroyed.

No exceptions for nukes mentioned.
