Does Negative Uranium effect nukes?

Hi, long time lurker first time poster. I was wondering what the effect of negative Uranium has on nukes. Is it the same as how the other strategic resources work when they are in the red? Thanks!

If you try to launch them, they explode in the city you were launching them from. That's pretty devastating if you first encounter this and didn't know.

Wow, that sounds pretty hilarious. Too bad I am so anti-nuke, otherwise I would definitely had this happening.

Really? That's... awesome in a way, but a horrible trial by error penalty as well. Why would that even happen?

Explains why Siam didn't launch its atomics towards me after I parasapped their uranium, though.

lol, are you being serious? Do you get a warning like you do when you are about to attack something with a much higher strength rating?

I wish.

Alternately it would be cool if they landed at a randomly selected location.

Uh, oh, Rome isn't going to like that....

Someone should make a mod so that actually happens

it makes little sense that the moment you lose a strategic resources all your units relying on that resource become useless. At the very least, there should be a short a short duration until the penalty comes into effect. Does the gas in the tank of a tank become water the moment you lose your oil fields?

 

[VainoValkea]

The tank does become a fairly easy target without fuel.

 

[Quineloe]

yes, but just because you lose your oil field doesn't mean that you lose all your reserves the same moment. The Wehrmacht was able to field tanks and planes until the last days of the war, despite having lost their last oil fields in Romania over a year before.

The Wehrmacht existed in a simulation far more complex than Civ.

I like Civ V's current system quite a lot, particularly because unlike in Civ IV one can effectively disable enemy armies by taking their critical resources like oil. Also, it's not complex beyond what's needed for a good game.
