Has anyone been Nuked by the AI?

[Fluffball]

Even on diety I win the game before aircraft are even available so never seen the AI use aircraft nevermind use a nuke.

Only ever used one nuke and that was when I deliberately stopped myself winning long enough to get it as I wanted to see what it looked like.

Same with carriers, subs and destroyers.

The AI hit me with two simultaneous nukes, both on my biggest cities, and then won the game shortly after...

...in the dream I had last night. It was very cool but I hope it happens irl sometime. Although given how the manhattan project unlocks nukes and the victory project, there's no certainty that even if an AI did complete the military legacy path, that they'd then actually make use of the nukes instead of immediately going for the win.

I guess it’s mainly not possible because the modern era ends before anyone really has a chance to do anything militarily.

I dont think console versions of Civ have nukes AI can use (Rev, V-VII).
Its a thing developers dont want in the game, just like other controversial historical concepts like slavery. Its bad for the players to think things like these ever existed. Its more about women leading a nations they never really did. DEI is excluding reality in this case.

except nukes are in the game? also not sure what diversity has to do with whether a game has nukes or not

Nothing at all, of course.

Anyway!

I posted earlier about my experience dropping nukes in Civ VII. I was disappointed to see that it doesn’t affect population levels of a city at all.

I think the only reason that this is the case is because population is directly tied to city growth/spread and number of tiles claimed by a city. So, if you had a size 30 city, and it was nuked down to a size 15, without loss of any tiles, then this wouldn’t really function in Civ VII.

Nevertheless, I was angry that I couldn’t decimate my annoying neighbors and continued to spitefully drop more nukes.

Are they really? Never seen one!

Yes, you're right, Civ VII has the most nuke-unfriendly design. Unless the explosion glasses over a few tiles removing buildings (which can't be done?), nuking is meaningless, as you can just buy back population in an instant?

Odd, according to this video it does - bugged or recently altered behaviour maybe? Not truly reduced the population because you'll be able to repair the buildings to get it back eventually, but that'll require waiting for the fallout to clear.

Maybe they changed it!

Update 1.2.2

If anyone could see if this changes anything from the AI, It would be greatly appreciated.

I seriously doubt they are coded to do so. Simply put, they don't have the balls to put in AI like they had in SMAC (and even in that game, they wouldn't nuke/pb often).

 

[user746383]

I’d love a patch that cranks up aggression, right now even on the hardest difficulty levels they are too passive and let themselves get gobbled up by the player, and never seem to take each other out.

yea :/, in 6 they just nuked the same city over and over again; so I wonder if it will be any different... The AI probably isnt smart enough to take a nuked a city with multiple walls without killing all its units. I still want to know if its even remotely possible...
