I've seen a few people denouncing the use of Nuclear Weapons, but to me this madness.

It may not be the most satisfying of victorys, but sometimes it's the only thing to do!

I was once attacked by someone or other who I was supposed to be in allience with - and they used a Nuclear Missile to do it with!

Since then I have no hesitation in nuking someone when the need arises - let's face it, it's a level playing field and they would happily do the same to you (and they quite frequently do!)

 
I can't see why you shouldn't use nuclear misiles. I use them when I have to take a very strong defended city with city walls, costal fortress etc. Just make sure that your are backed with engeeniers.

lol, this could be a good poll question:

"How does it feel to be nuked by the AI?"
- Whoa! Nice explosions effect! Keep it coming.
- Cheat Mode will now be enabled!
- Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
- I suck in this game.
- I want to quit!

I think that's about it.
 
First off, I have to admit that I'm usually quick to drop an A bomb. But I don't like to use them because they cause WAY TOO MUCH pollution. Which in turn leads to that lovely event known as GLOBAL WARMING. In recent games however, I've refrained from being the civ to deliver the first strike. Although I do respond in kind when my rivals decide to open that can of worms. I suggest that people handle nukes in the game as they would in real life (and the AI should too).

All your base are belong to dust.
 


i never use nukes in the game, but i always build a ton, and keep them on subs and in my cities, in case the comp goes all stupid and starts a nuclear war.

(btw: the subs are *right* near their capitol and largest cities )
 
Oh yea well my words are backed by many many nukes and many SDI defences and many spys and many many tanks!
I usually only get one nuke in the game just for negotiating powers!

thunderfall you forgot I have SDI....so what!

my words of wisdom

1.Square meals often make round people.
2.You Cant Argue With Stupitity!
3.an Eye for and Eye(and while your at it take 2)
 
Nukes cause too much pollution/global warming, and then you gotta rush a guy into the city from outside the blast radius to capture the city, and then you have to clean the pollution, because it effects the food production. I prefer cruise missiles because they're cheap and don't cause pollution. If I play a scenario that starts me with nukes, I'll use them though.

OK, so I start up a saved game, it's all going well, just easing myself into the situation I left it and there's a sneak attack from those bloody Spanish and then, on the very next go, by the Celts!

And what do they use? Nuclear weapons! Wiping out at least 7 of my cities.....

How utterly frustating.
 
my singature says it all :_)

Perhaps it's time for a nice %STRING0
 
I wait before I get SDI defence and I only buildd nukes if I am nuked but If I am nuked the AI get a few more in rreturn
 
How do you guys get yourselves in the situation where nukes even figurein the game? I'm always well in control of the board before the nuclear tech is available. And besides, the AI won't usually build the Manhattan Project, so just don't build it yourself!

WEll OK, I've enjoyed nukes once or twice, but they're just not worth the polution.
 
I used nukes twice. The first time was in the World War scenario set in 1979. I used a nuke on 75% of the Russuian cities. The other time I was playing the Pacific Front of WWII and I wanted to recreate the first A-bomb attacks, so I nuked Japan.

That taking over the world before nukes usually doesn't work when your playing against humans. Aginst the AI, I squash with frigates and ironclads.

The wisest words so far. The game is meant to be realistic, so the nukes should be held back as much as possible.

One thing that surprises me is that only a couple of "guys" in the city die when you drop a nuke... The real weapon completely wipes out a city.
