Neo-Nexus Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Ok... so, I'm torn apart right now. Missiles or no Missiles? Missiles by itself have an expensive upkeep cost causing a significant drop in revenue. But, if I get missiles it would also mean I would need to increase the number of spies that I have (to protect the missiles from being sabotaged) - causing a further drop in revenue. And it seems that if a nation or alliance really wanted to sabotage your missiles, going past one's spies wouldn't be that hard. (I believe I've seen 14 spies taken out at a time via one spy op). Also, would it be more effective if I just spent the lets say $200k+ on conventional warfare units such as tanks, aircraft etc. instead of missiles and spies? But then again, if in a war both nation's ground and air forces aren't getting anything done, having missiles would be a nice incentive for an enemy not to launch THEIR missiles (assuming they have some) at you... cause you know mutually assured destruction. What are you guys' opinion and suggestions? P.S.

Atzuya Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 200k on tanks and planes? Wow I can only hope I just have to spend that much whenever I'm going to war... By resources alone you can spend anywhere between 500k to four mil for a single war. In some cases, missiles are the favorable option here. Even if you can only make one a day and immediately launch it because you're under a constant barrage of spy ops, 250+ infra damage for every 16 hours is a good thing to have. If the enemy have an iron dome, you can always choose to spend 10 mil on ships to deal crazy amount of damage by naval attacks or even planes.

BIBS Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 i attend to agree with atzuya, even though missiles sound awesome, they are expensive in upkeep when i build just a couple of em. thts just from my personal experience.

Tim Armstrong Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 ID is so worth it. Also, missiling is fun. It would be even better if they were no longer tied to the MAPS system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsuper Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 One thing I question is the psychological effectiveness of missiles as a deterrent. War is already expensive and wasteful, and the people who go looking for it aren't always concerned about preserving their pixels. If they were, they wouldn't be looking for a fight in the first place. It might occasionally factor into a long-term calculation about which target to select, but only in situations where the aggressor is thinking "yeah, I hate that guy, but I don't hate him enough to take that much damage in order to roll him..." Generally, if there's a beef or a CB, I'd expect to see a war regardless of whether missiles are involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol...yeah, my iron dome only stopped all missiles. My missiles dealt $30 million in damages. So...zero losses vs $30 million. But seriously, no one else should get one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greene Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I've had 15 spies taken out by a spy op... it's annoying, but it's part of the game. Anyway, in terms of missiles, would you rather hug a barkin tree or a cold, cool missile.
