I think the Modern age nuke is way too weak. And then ofcourse I will not launch a nuke unless someone else does. When I am facing an enemy which is equal, I will not start researching nukes unless he does. Sometimes its 200,000, then its 500,000 and then its 350,000 and then its over a Million!Īnyways, regarding nukes. Truman was a freaking idiot who couldn't even keep his figures of casualties the same number. It would have ended very soon if we had attacked the mainland. World War II would not have gone on forever. Nobody wants to destroy the planet we live in. I believe also, in the real world that nation will use 1 to 2 max ICBM. This forces everyone to go for conventional warfare. To take out competent enemy army, using ICBM is damn effective because of the larger area effect.Īnother tricky strategy is to fire your ICBM a number of times until the counter holds at 1. That's why usually I will build array of missile silo. Using ICBM is far to expensive to accomplish. Stop them from researching further counter missile technologies, universities must be removed. 9 out of 10 games I can see players do not build military buildings aounrd capital and the second city both of which are economy centres of the nation. You may consider using nuke if the other side has already reached Modern or Information age.

In that case, you may use cruise missiles to remove their libraries and that would be more than sufficient. You do not want to or need not to use nuke if your opponents are 2 age behind.
