nerve gas

[hossam]

i just love nerve gas, i like to put nerve gas on my planes and then use those planes to wipe out cities.what are your attitudes towards nerve gas?

It isn't an atrocity against Aliens.

1. It's a great return for the minerals
2. It's useless vs natives
3. It reduces city pop heavily (50% rounded up ??)- so i tend not to use it against cities I want to capture

The 20 year blackout offered by the sunspot event is a prime time to use those x-missile needlejets on faction you would rather crush than conquer - the Believers with their sprawling empire of small cities filled with elite troops come to mind from some of my past games. The faction you attack still reacts to the atrocity, but no other factions learn of it.

Destructicon, great point! Does that also work with planet busters?

 

[Destructicon]

Great question, but I just don't know about planet busters.

Who will be the first to test it out and report back? The race is on!

 

[GooglyBoogly]

I haven't tested this recently - but seem to vaguely remember (from a game many years ago) that sunspot activity offers no protection vs planet busters.

 

[Mandeville]

Sunspot activity will not protect you from using planet busters. You have to repeal the U.N. charter but even that will not fully protect you since anyone you use planet busters against will forever be in vendetta with you.
