Nukes and Submarines

[lutzj]

I think nukes should operate like bombers, only one time use, andhave a set range (say, 20 squares). Submarines should be able to carry nukes as opposed to great people, etc. This would be an easy mod to create but I am too lazy to do it. Any takers?

 

[MaxRiga]

in my mod submarines already can carry nukes
but still, nukes must have area ranges for sure !

Are these just Boomer Subs or are ALL subs Carrying Nukes? I think it makes a good deal of sense to seperate Boomer and Attack subs the Boomers would have defend only tag and carry a Nuke, Attack subs well they... Attack!

The nukes that are made in Civ are ICBM, that is they have realisticly unlimited range. Perhaps a more civ 3ish system of having two diffrent kinds? One with limited range and one with unlimited range.

i've modded a tactical nuke that can be carried by a ohio-class sub with a range of 6. the sub has a capacity of 2 nukes. my icbms needs a missile-silo before they can be built. so, the only thing i want is that the ai uses also nukes or at least build them

 

[jennarivo]

i would like to see to see 2 different types of nuke in the game

1. ICBM - unlimited range but civs limited to say 5 at one time and in different cities

2. Sub-launched nukes - limited range no limit to how many civs can hold, although maybe allow subs to carry only 4 or something


in addition to that i think there should be 2 classes of sub in the game ie ballistic missile boat & hunter killers, with perhaps the hunter killers being able to carry cruise missiles

also how about a cruise missile capable cruiser or an area air defence ship perhaps the destroyer

seem to have drifted off the subject but thats what i think

cheers

i think i will add a mobile launcher too, so i can move some out of the cities.

i forget to mention: the tactical nuke has a radius of 1 field and the icbm one of 2 fields. but i haven't tested them under "real" terms ingame, cause i have at the moment quite little time to play and just started a new game two days ago and there i just played 2 turns, cause RL has interrupted (/offtopic)

 

[jennarivo]

mobile launcher sounds good, maybe it could carry cruise missiles too

 

[frogger3d]

If you want to be realistic b52 bombers and spies should be able to plant nukes too..

 

[Spartan117]

during cold war us was experimenting with hand held rocket nuclear weapons and also artillery capable of launching a nuclear warhead..

as imagined they would probably not work to good as in they would obviously kill the people using them...but who knows?, right

 

[MaxRiga]

now my subs can carry tactical nukes and crusise missiles

 

[asioasioasio]

yes some mobile launcher should be also done - i'm remebering the very havy and huge ussr trucks moving 10 km per hours carrying rockets with nuclear warheads, usa probably has similliar stuff

 

[MaxRiga]

usa doesn't have it
it calls - TOPOL-M
i can actually make it for my mod but i don't find it really nesserely for small maps and game like civ4.
there is tactical nuke and icbm in my mod and it looks just enought ( on my opinion )
