Nukes!

[Stid]

for civ4, this subject i feel needs to be thought over a bit more than previously.i never use nukes but i do build them because they're not worth the trouble of everyone declaring war on you.The cities defenders arent all killed and improvents i dont believe are affected. (not sure bout that)

The ICBMs should be used and as in real life, anniliate any city completely but with a strong negative opinion from other civs while creating lots of pollution that could maybe move around the map like it would in real life

Tactical nukes are pathetic and i never build them as they have no advantage over ICBMs except that they can re-locate.Tactical nukes should severly damage units and improvements but not destroy the city and create less pollution giving them an advantage over their counterparts.

These should both be able to be shot at from SDI defences or something similar which would then open the door to stealth bombers also being used to drop small nukes.which could be shot by SAMs or fighters meaning any nuke attack has a chance of being stopped.Apart from that i reakon planes dropping nukes would look cool does anybody agree or i am living in a dream world?

I totally agree.

That there is no real difference between tactical nukes and ICBMS is really annoying to me.

The nukes dont seem to be much of a deterant whenever I build them, even if the other civs dont have the tech.

So when I launch afew from my subs, they just get mader and there's no peace. This really sucked when I was building my spaceship.

Something like the Cold War policy of M.A.D between Russia and the US would be good to see in Civ IV.

M.A.D = Mutually Assured Destruction, whereby if one civ launches nukes, they can be assured the other will automatically, creating a devastating effect Im sure.

i agree.other civs should acknowledge that you are capable of firing nukes at them like they were in civ2 when they said they will destroy us all.there is no mention of nukes in civ3 by other civs and obviously they show they're not worried by them when they declare war when you tell them to get out your territory.
