Help on final war

[spacedragonblue]

i've been playing civ for quite some time, but I get so involved in games and testing different strategies i still use warlord, Anyhow, heres the deal: I'm a Persian republic already researching future tech and Arabia is mid industrial and Facist. Huge map.
There are 2 continents and 2 islands, one next to mine and one next to my only surviving enemy(Arabia) I control 1 continent fully, both islands (the one near Arabia is where most of my armies (5) are, and about 70% of Arabia's home continent. However, my army is using the "small but modern" strategy. All of my armies are modern armor, but most of my defenders in arabia's continent are creap, rushed things with a modern armor mixed in. I have about 6 or 7 ICBMS. Their army is MUCH bigger than mine, and mostly consists of riflemen and some cavelry So: what can i do to at least take some of Arabia away, since all i need for domination is about 6% more land?

On their continent: Get some quick culture and airdrop lots of units in. Mass tons of units, then eventually just go to war.
If you have Sun Tzu's Art of War you could upgrade your defenders on your continent, then move them to the other.

if you have modern armor and they have riflemen and cavs, you can destroy their army fairly easily. you will have almost 0 casualties so you can destroy per turn number of modern armor x 3. modern armor is also a fine defence against cavs, although even infantry would be fine. also i would reccomend turning science down to 0 or 10% unless you really want the score from future tech. you can use that money to rush some mech infantry and modern armor.

5 MA armies are enough to capture a rifleman-guarded city. Unless you want to avoid domination, then you should raze all their cities more quickly. Just attack.

nuke them.

 

[Pentium]

Yeah, you're right.

You'll obtain the victory so its not like you have to worry about the fallout.

Do you have artillery or fire support? If so, use it to destroy the roads or railroads connecting the enemy's cities, then attack. This way, they won't be able to send reinforcements. Also, like kenScott said, don't worry about ruining the land with bombs. You will get the victory anyway, so it won't matter if all of your new cities are size one surronded by polluted desert squares with no improvments.
