Why do my icbm's not work?

You can see the explosion in the fog-of-war area. I just tested it again. It reveals a few tiles around the target.

Hmm. I did not see the explosion in the fog-of-war area in my test. Do you have to have the graphics turned up all the way? I have them on the lowest setting.

Are you sure that the missile actually went off? Your message may have indicated it was intercepted.

Nuke an empty piece of water that you can't see.

talking about nukes, did you know that putting several of them together in a group has a multiple effect? try to combine 10 ICBMs and see what kind of cloud comes out! covers the whole continent

[Kuciwalker]

It doesn't have any effect except on the graphics.

can we get a mod that nukes can make a Godzilla/Rodan?

I posted about this a while back. http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=142142

I never found a really satisfactory answer to the behavior of nukes, but I'll admit my research wasn't exactly thorough.
Sometimes, If my spy stole war plans (letting me see all the enemy's cities) I would be then able to launch, sometimes not. Sometimes I could nuke a city I didn't have a line of sight into, sometimes not.
There weren't any friendly or neutral units in the city area in the cases where I was able to see into them, so that was not a factor.

[Datajack Franit]

wrong- the graphic effect is multiplied by the number of ICBMs you used, while the bomb effect is concentrated on the city itself and the surrounding tiles

It seems to me that it is far easier to target a tile next to the city. Indeed, if you want to smother the enemy in fallout, you may want to adjust your targeting to make that happen.

I was fighting a war against the Romans and the Russians, and if I'd had a few more missiles I could have made their entire continent glow

Well, I sure think it went off. Next game I'll have to do it again, I must be mistaken...

Do you have "Quick Moves" turned on? I think that eliminates the explosion graphic.
