Placentica Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) (targeting, targetting....whatever) So, just a random thought. What if you could target troops, tanks, air, ships with nukes instead of just infra? Say, one nuke does 80% dmg to one of those units, you decide. It wouldn't do any infra damage, or minimal. But it would make nukes a bit more strategic. What I've seen is nukes do a ton of damage, but when it comes to actually winning/losing the battle of armed forces, they don't help much. Wouldn't you target airbases if you had nukes potentially? Edited May 27, 2015 by Placentica 4 Quote Hello!

Pubs Dignity Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I like the idea of being able to damage to military with nukes. But I think 80% to one is too much. I think around 50% of whatever type of unit and some infra damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur James Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) wouldn't it make the turning point of the war is decided by the one click of a nuke??? then most of us would have a strong tendency to build nukes instead of troops since the troops are almost useless towards it. Nope, but I do support the existing idea that each nukes remove 2 improvements of military building to decrease the no. of daily recruitment add a new effect that nukes can cause temporary power down of the targeted city for 1 coming day.

Vincent Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 You need 12 MAP to launch a nuke. While waiting for the MAP to stack that nation would not be able to do anything against you , while you can launch a variety of combination of attacks with 12 MAPs, So how can one click of the nuke be the turning point of the war?

I think if you have nukes in and your opponent didn't have them they'd be !@#$ed by a logical sense.. IJS Quote -removed by thor- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 As a person with nukes, this is an interesting idea, and yes it should be 80% just like infra. it makes nukes much more tactical, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apeman Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I fully support this. Good show old man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarke Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) This type of attack is very overpowered but if it was going to be added it should do absolutely no damage to anything other than units because it so overpowered. On top of I'd add an extra fee to those nukes for precision targeting, perhaps you have to make nukes specifically for that type of fighting at an increased cost. To give an idea of how overpowered it is, those nukes could potential destroy 10000 steel worth of tanks in the top nations atm, which at current market value is $40 Million. Infrastructure is one thing but this is a complete game changer. Overall I don't think this should be added and if it is I would make it as expensive as it can be for the nation looking to use those nukes. What am I even talking about, this change isn't even worth discussing for the simple reason it makes everyone use nukes for all their attacks. It completely discourages nations from building aircraft, tanks and ships if they have nukes or if they're fighting someone with nukes. This suggestion effectively ruins the warring system for top nations. Edited May 27, 2015 by Clarke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 People really discount the actual cost of nukes, and that its easy to just buy and launch nukes every day like they are free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayayay Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 At most 20-25% imo. Small enough that it might be a good idea for an opening blow but not high enough for you to want to use it all the time.

Clarke Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Nukes during peace cost about $4 Million, most nations have a stockpile during war so they're still as easy to purchase. Just because you buy nukes doesn't mean you deserve to win your wars outright. At most 20-25% imo. Small enough that it might be a good idea for an opening blow but not high enough for you to want to use it all the time. Yeah that's actually reasonable.

Ayayay Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yeah that's actually reasonable. If there's one word that can be used to describe me, it's "reasonable."

Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) if you make it that low, its not worth it at all. atleast not until people have 17-18 city nations or larger Edited May 27, 2015 by Sweeeeet Ronny D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
