Cruise Missiles and Nukes

[Pods]

Safe to say they'll work the same as air units? In that you don't have to move them along the tiles, but simply designate a target within their operations range and watch it fly off?

Provided there are no nearby buildings with big red crosses on top. That tends to confuse them

I am trying very hard not to laugh a little at this. It's not funny, it's not funny. Maybe if I keep telling myself that.

These terrorists intentionally killed thousands of people and we got people getting in a huff because we injured a few people and burned a couple loaves of bread that we surely had provided them in the first place anyway. The US has given more aid to Afghanistan than any country in the world. It was nothing but a regretful yet insignificant incident.

Next time we'll hit our target dead on right in the heart of a civilian population. Maybe then some people would be impressed by our accuracy. Right grummy?

I'll hold my tounge...

Actually, the only person injured was a guard. And the supplies

Let's stay on topic.

Sorry pods.....

I would hope missiles and airplanes would function the same way as they did in civ2 with the exception of bombers getting hung up between turns. And the "moving" of missiles. I mean, you cant fly them from one continent and land them in another

A bomber should be able to make his single drop and return to base in a single round......missiles should be able to be transported in any cargo carrying unit and only should be able to be launched from either a mobile unit or a specifically equipped base.

I think the target thing is a neat idea sorta.......but I atleast want to be able to watch the target being hit.....

I have to second that. It would only make sense since they changed the aircraft.

I know I'll be flamed for saying this, but the original thing it'self was pretty funny at first before it sank in.

I mean - terrorists fly a plane into one of the world trade centres? Yeah ****ing right.

Then they do it do the other one too

Are the planes cesnas? Nope - They're big **** off jumbos ( which are pretty funny in themselves - big fat planes )

And then they finish off by attacking the pentagon - but what do they attack? The Navy, who mean no harm to no one.

I thought it was a very weird joke when my dad phoned to tell me about it.........

Hi Faboba,
do you know the proverb:
"Si tacuisses philosophus mansisses" - If you would have been silent, you would be still a philosopher"

[drake]

Sounds about right cyril

[Kassiopeia]

I think, that the nuclear war would be approached more like they did in CtP. What I want is that you target the nukes, and press launch. And then BOOM. What I don't want is to "fly" them around like in Civ2.
Flying is for the cruise missiles.

[Grumbold]

I'd like to just select the attack icon, click on the target and see the game handle the movement of the plane/missile to target, conduct the attack (and return if an aircraft). The navigation to target tile by tile is unneccesary provided we don't have out-of-city autofire AA units that we need to steer around.



OT to Drake: I find it ironic that our modern satellites can spy trucks visiting warehouses to pick out a potential target but not the colour of the roof paint. Looks like the aid agencies need a different arial recognition method. No criticism implied of our war effort. Its a job that has to be done. Working in a potentially high risk UK institution I would be foolish to condemn the efforts made to ensure our safety from terrorism.

Gee, I wonder if we'll see hordes of AI cruise missles coming out of nowhere again
