When I realized how World editor worked I started playing with it, and I made many ICBMs and launched them one by one on enemy cities. Then I realized that you can stack these missiles, and THE ANIMATION WILL CHANGE!! First I launched 4 ICBMs at once on Paris, and the animation was significantly larger, and louder. Then I guess I got a bit crazy, and made about 40 ICMBs and launched all of them at once on Shanghai. Man, that was crazy!!!! It was extremely loud, and the animation was half of the continent, I play on 1280*1024, and literally the explosion didn't fit on the screen, I think it must have been some 15-20 squares explosion. WOW. Now I am trying with some 200 ICBMs at once. Will try to make a screenshot or animation too. :D
 
AWESOME!! I gota seen a screen of that. Might even try it....;)
 
So here the pics come!!! Unfortunately the explosion made my PC lag extremely( 3200MHZ 6600GT still I got 1 picture every 2seconds) so I could only make one pic, but maybe I set the resolution a lot smaller and try to make a video again.
So the power of 97 ICBMs:

and I made a pic with only 1 ICBM unleashed, so you can compare the two explosions:

*waits*

:nuke:
 
Is there an after image? How much damage does stacking them do? Does it just mangle the tile it hits, or does it have a larger effect?
 
I happend upon this last night while messing with world builder. It definantly increases the size of the animation.. Not sure if the dmg is affected, but I think that it may be, because I remember seeign an abnormal size radiation pool when I launched a few more
 
They forgot to mention a couple of things. Another thing probably being overlooked in one of the threads is that when you and an AI CIV are at war with the same other CIV, you can direct them IE "Why don't you attack Moscow?" and coordinate attacks this way

I think this site needs a prominent "Things that aren't in the manual that we've figured out" section
 
Really nice effect, would be great if the damage done was also more than just firing missiles individually at the same point.

No matter if it does really, this just looks awesome and is the sort of thing everyone would love to do for real, not using Worldbuilder to help.
 
So what IS the verdict on the damadge anyway? Is there more? Wider range?
