Rambo destroyed tanks, helicopters, dozens of machine gunners, etc. Mostly with a bow and arrow and a knife. So why not in Civ? -
So...
having the ability to sever an opposing resource without enemy recourse, slap their city with massive unhealth, maim dozens of units to the point where you can waltz in with any modern unit, and shatter their infrastructure from any point on the globe TO any point on the globe....
...that's not powerful enough for you?Comment

Well, sure, but at least from a gameplay standpoint, it makes sense not to make modern-era units too overpowered, or else lagging players will get steamrolled.Whatever

A lot of us miss the nukes from Civ2 (Which halved the population and eliminated all troops in the city, plus pollution in the 8-surrounding tiles and the Planet Busters (obliterates the city and makes the area surrounding the city a small sea) from SMAC."Compromises are not always good things.

No, no it's not. Not after every other Civ game where they cleared a city of units.Originally posted by Fried-Psitalon

And also...have you played against an opponenet who has SDI yet? They make nukes completley worthless....I must have fired 20 nukes and had 3 hit....no SDI will ever become that good and definatley not if its supposed to be from our era (like all the other tech in the game)Comment

Longbowman destroys tank ... absurd.
Not as bad as ancient galleys sinking submerged submarines in RON, but still annoying, and absurd.Comment

Nukes stink in Civ4 now. They are a joke. Espically if they have SDI and bunkers. 75% of your nukes being intercepted and the 25% that does land their power is reduced by 75%. Lame.Comment

In MP they are ok, but in SP? No way.Originally posted by Fried-Psitalon

It's everything you said plus a -7 diplomacy with almost every civ.Comment

There is a reason nukes are underpowered compared to Civ2 and SMAC. Because they were severly OVERPOWERED in those games, seriously unbalancing the game.
I'm happy for the change.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

The strength of a nuke is 'balanced' in Civ4 BUT when they get SDI and shelters then they are basically useless. SDI should be reduced to 25-50% and shelters reduced to 25%. Then a nuke will be great again. Seriously building a shelter is cheaper then building a nuke >.>Comment

Wow, I haven't got up to nukes yet in my game. Those protection rates for SDI and shelters sound "unbalanced". Should either lower the protection rates or make the nuke even more powerful so that when it does finally hit it's worth it.Comment

I'm not sure exactly what 'tighty whiteys' means but I gather it is a personal attack directed at Imran Siddiqui. These forums are here for us to discuss the game and disagreement is a part of dicussion. Disagreeing with someone is fine but personal attacks are not welcome here. Many of us are paying members of Apolyton and we do not want the boards filled up with trash talk.Originally posted by beeper917
