I hate missle shields!

[Fox Mccloud]

Like it says, double you tee eef is that whole missle sheild thing about? Someone discovers it, then you can't them anymore? That sucks! :thumbdown: Is there anyway I can take that out of the game?

Uhh... that's the point

To stop construction of the missle shields, and all other future techs, just set the ending age to early info age before starting a game (in T&P, at least)

Apart from that, I dont play with nukes anyway, so I've never really dealt w/ it before

 

[GenMarshall]

I see it as a double edged sword. I like the missle shields if I am the only one who has it and I hate it when other nations have them (regardless if I do or not)

 

[Gnarfflinger]

I like them to save my ass from enemy nukes. I can live without nukes, and seldom find them to be a game breaker...

 

[HAND]

I only use nukes if i'm significantly ahead in the game which only happens occasionally.. Those ICBMs though can destroy can really halt a civ in its tracks though. I try and catch an enemy army in a large enemy city for double the effect.

I love the missile shield tech. The AI has a nasty habit of nuking me A.S.A.P. So, I construct a missile shield and then no worries. After that if they don't have the missile shield tech I release all nukes, air force, and army, and take them over in about two minutes. Revenge is sweet

 

[Fox Mccloud]

Why do people like it? There could be nothing farther from historical innacuracy. Think about it, If USA nuked USSR, would they not be able to nuke them? The USSR may have installed a nuklear defense system, with satilites, AAs, etc, but that would only lessen the chace that it would hit, not illiminate it.

Calm down, it's just a game.

Really? THEY nuked YOU ??? On one game, I blast the living crud out of them and they never retaliated.

 

[DS_Legionary]

Yes as soon a the AI get nukes they nuke me without fail. I remember one game where the AI nuked my three industrial cities all at once. The nuked the other AI twice. I almost lost that game.

 

[Halcyon]

If your opponent starts researching Missile Shield, nuke all his libraries. Problem sorted. Besides, don't tell me you can't win without nukes. Right?

Don't cry historical accuracy, by the way. It's a future tech, and about as real as World Government, Global Prosperity or AI. I for one don't remember any of those during the Cold War, either.

 

[Kietharr]

it's ok with me, i usually nuke all of their capitols or best citys asap, then they usually dont have the recorses to make nukes, much less the missile sheild, if they get it up i just build a few airbases and fill them with bombers and attack their capitol with them, then send a few light infantry in to capture the capitol (assuming i have world gov., otherwise i just send in a bunch of tanks and a couple of infantry).

 

[Dreadnought]

I think it should offer a % chance to destroy the nukes. you would still be able to nuke them, but the nuke mihgt be destroyed

 

[Stargate2_earth]

you could also just nuke your borders enough to make the blast radius enugh to destory thier citys like 5

 

[Dreadnought]

I nuke transports when they're coming to my country...

Exactly!

 

[covok48]

When I'm getting my cities nuked from an insanely long range, I've learned to appreciate the missle shields.

 

[hawai_74]

i dont like nukes, i prefer to fight AI with "standard ground strategies"... so i display that damn nuke option

 

[Dreadnought]

Usually, I don't use nukes, just get terra cotta army and build up from there

Me personaly hate nukes, nukes are the stuff of cowards. I prefer the traditional warfare, you know, air force, armor, mechj infi,infi ext. ext.

Which is why i also think htye should make an option to take the nukes out because its annoying when im trying to have a nice long fun game and the a.i's nuke the world into armageddon.
