Need help with a 100 - unit stack!!!

[dikwhit]

on the comment of the icbm and the units right next to the city.... who cares. No matter where they are in relation to your city,, theres is always a square the nuke can be shot that its blast radius, 3x3 hits their stack of units and not your city,,, remember you do not have to target the stack of units, instead make a straight line using the enemy stack as the middle,your city as one end , and where the nuke should be targeted as the other. Their units get wasted, and all you have to do is mop up, and reimprove your territory.

You think that is a lot, In my current game The persians, my neighbors, have over 600 mechanized infantry and invaded me with several 100 unit stacks, Not sure if anyone else has brought this up but that seems to be happening a lot when you turn corruption way down. I turned it down to 40% in my game.

OUCH!!!

I hope you do have nukes!.

Why didn't I think of that?!! You are a genius! With a single strike I could've taken out all the enemy stacks!!

Damn!

I thought of the classic Civ 2 "blow up the square next to them to avoid killing any of yours" as soon as someone mentioned ICBM, but of course in Civ 2 the radius is only 1 around the target - so 9 squares. Another thing to remember is that you won't get nuke damage in sea squares so feel free to use them to blow up ships and units on the shore with minimal pollution - if you are prepared to take the flak from the enemy governments!
