i have 250 ICBM's in one of my games, how many do you have?

 

[Bluemofia]

in my game, i dont know, maybe 10. i already used 20 of them nuking france. i realy dont care much about having a large nuculear arsenal, as long as i have a massive army.

Being a new guy, I got to the modern age as rome (though lost a diplomatic loss)

I wanted to test out modern weapons, so I continued. I had wiped Egypt off the map in the middle ages, and since then had fought many wars with Carthage over islands and him trying to set up on my continent.

Well, only me, greece and carthrage were left. I decided to attack Carthage. I used tactical nukes, thinking Greece would get pissed. But no, he didn't do a thing.

But the moment I used a ICBM, greece declared war. In two turns, over 12 modern tanks were attacking my defenseless northern city.

Damn AI...


Also, should an ICBM wipe a city off the map?

Has anyone ever had a nukefest in a MP game?

 

[Bluemofia]

chances are no because that would cause world havoc and practically blasting everyone out of teh ability to build anything modern anymore and with gunk and polution everywhere

the idea is pretty interesting because in real life nukes can really wipe out entire cities and destroy the world instead of reducing every city to a pop. of 1

The most nukes I've ever had are 500. I used them all then the golden sun in the corner turened red.

But Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still cities. Radiation or no, people outside of the blast zone can be expected to wander back to familiar land, as peculiar as it sounds. There are still people living on the side of Mt. Vesuvius, after all!

Which brings up another point. Compare nuclear attack to volcano eruption in Conquests. Notice that a volcano has the capacity to wipe a city off of the map, yet a thermonuclear weapon can only kill part of its population. This just feels wrong; is there a way to change either of these effects in the editor?

Hey, but they were hit with only atomic bombs. A Modern Thermonuclear ICBM would not only wipe the city from the earth, but it would also make a crater, and the radiation would last for 1000 years.

but they were also blasted with only 1 atomic bomb, not enough to destroy the city, but a large portion.
