I had some good uses of nukes.
It was one of my early Emperor games.

Basicaly, I didn't counquered anything early so I had too little cities.
But I needed to get some city power base for space ship program.

And my conquest was too slow.
(they had Mech. Inf.)

So I used several nukes to soften several enemy cities.

After that conquest was quick & easy.

Luckly I has in alliance with every other civ so there was no diplomactic penalities.

And luckly they only had 2 tactical nukes mounted on nuc. sub far away from my cities (subs were later destroyed by succesfull use of steal plans & battleships)

you can always bomb it with an airunit first , .......
and send some workers along to Greece , this way you can nuke it first , ......

try to get their troops to city of you on their continent , a city you really dont need , when they start to knock on the door , with 20-30 guys , nuke them , ........

have a nice day

i ain't nuking my own city, i know its just a game but i like to play my games with as relistic an attitude as possible, the only time i'd nuke my own city was if it was life or death!

hi ,

ahem , you could nuke the city before you take it , ....the Greek one that is , its full of people who shall resist and go in disorder , so , use a nuke but only so that the nuke hits it on the border , .....this way you still have clean land for food and create a buffer with polluted land , and most likely the roads there are gone , so , it works as a kind of defense, .........

have a nice day

My current game is slow somewhat, and only in the middle ages thus far, but I got a feeling I'll have to nuke some to survive later.

HazieDaVampire · May 19, 2002, 14:15

haha, i had a nuke design with frances name on it almost from the start of the game, luckly for them i invaded and killed them off just as i hit AD.

HazieDaVampire · May 19, 2002, 17:21

Here it is, this ones just before i declared war on greece, its doing pritty well, My war against the greeks would have alot more casultys on my side if it wasn't for the great weapons known as, the nuclear bomb. Its crippled all the units in the citys, and those Hoplites put up little defense!

HazieDaVampire · May 19, 2002, 17:23

i'm not to sure which one of them is before the war, and which one is during, so heres my other one.

I nuke the Indians every game, even if i have to protect their last city from another civ.

zulu9812 · May 19, 2002, 20:55

Sometimes, when you just can't be arsed anymore, it's good fun to just nuke everybody and be damned with the consequences. That'll teach 'em to destroy my modern armour with spearmen...

I agree!

:

I mostly nuke one turn before achieving a space race victory. So I also say f*** the consequences. My people take off for Alpha Centauri, and let the rest bathe in my radiation.
