Let's See Who Knows What They're Doing

Situation:

2 Human Players, 2 Continents. Both with highest defenses. One team has Oil(planes) and another has Uranium(nukes). It seems like both are trapped in a stalemate, because the team who has planes has the SDI blocking all nukes, and the other team has quite a bit of air defense. Would bringing in a transport even be possible? What would your strategy be for either team to possibly win this game?

Go.

Go for a cultural, space race or histograph win, while making your opponent think you're going to invade them.

Wow! What a vague set up!! Thank you for so much specific information allowing everyone to advise you on your specific situation!

If you have the Nukes....just make them until they get through the SDI---it's only a 75% chance

If you have the Oil....go for Crimso's strategy.

haha sorry if it's vague. i posted one the other day and didnt get any responses. by the way i forgot to mention its set only to win by eliminating all your opponents. and by get through the SDI do you mean nuke the city with the SDI in it? i made 20 nukes and sent them all on one turn and they were all shot down

 

[Mujadaddy]

Hehe...did you send them one at a time in the same turn, or as a group?

The only thing you can do, really, is to occupy his territory, cut off his oil supplies, and raze all his cities...It's going to take a long, long time though...

If you have the oil, build up a large marine force lots of transports and fill the up with few each. In this case, the nuker wont been able to take the all down. Take several carriers with planes and get it in the ennemy territory. As far as i remember he can not nuke inside his borders (but i am not sure on that). You only need to take out one of his cities. Once you get the city fixed, bring a great artist, build a nuclear shelter and relocate the bombers. And now the havok begins.

Also do not forget to use your fighters to destroy the ennemy uranium resource( actually if you surround him with your aircraft, you can blow his hapiness ressources, which would bring down his hapiness for several terns disabling him even more !!!). Also bring Helicopters and pillage his improvements !!!!).

For the guy with uranium, it would be more difficult, but shoot as many nukes as you can, then use your weaponry to debark to the ennemy land. Bring owerhelming numbers of mechanized infantry and there you go. !!!)

Thanks for the ideas so far. So is it possible(if I know where it is), to blow up the SDI? The SDI isn't a wonder, is it? I know nukes can't blow up wonders.

Find the city that has SDI in it (use a Spy if you don't already know where it is)

Assemble a strike force.

Hit the city and burn it to the ground.

Hit the big red button that says "DO NOT PUSH"

 

[WeApOn]

Ah, that is a very smart Idea. Amazing.

If you're the one with the nukes, use a submarine to drop off a spy or two, and have them destroy the improvement on the oil, then try to invade. It won't get rid of anything he has, but it'll hamper him in a war if you can keep dropping off spies, and you have the money. Of course, if you don't have oil, I'm not sure if you can build submarines..... hmmm
