[Zoetstofzoetje]

Captain Pinkbeard: Ahoy matey! Arr, ye be a buccaneer eh? Yarr! Let's set out the seven seas to explore, conquer, rape, pillage, and be generally malignant hahaha!

*Guybrush comes running in*

Guybrush: Guys, guys! We've been made obsolete! Our nation's great scientists have discovered the nuclear-quantum-radiation exploration technology!

Captain Pinkbeard: Shiver me timbers! Back to the petstore ye go, Polly..

Polly: Polly want a hacker! Polly want a hacker! Raak!

Note: nuclear devices can be used to explore unseen lands, with fairly large radiuses.

didn't think of this, and did not get the nukes in Civ V... but not having map trading is absurd.

Interesting... Civ II was like that as well... nukes were great explorers

But in Civ V, I've usually exposed the entire map before I got to nukes, so I never thought to use them for that purpose
