in civ2 i always built a city on the iceberg on the top or bottom, and made it my capital if i was a fundy

[Grrr]

I also did the same strategy as Uber. Also because the City tile automatically produces 2 food, so it is great for glaciers.

no i was using no mods..and i had built the manhatten project and the other prereqs..

the funny thing is ...i was able to build nukes/tacs rightafter building the apollo program.

not sure what happened there.

I don't notice civs building artillary much.

i have played almost 3 full games now with new patch...the most any civ had were/// 13 guns.

only 3x has the enemy AI actually used the guns to fire on my units camped by 1 of their cities.

and their planes continue to pound my improvements...not my exposed units nor my actual city squares.

I don't think I would play with nukes in MP.

You'd be lucky to get to the nuke stage regularly without the game being decided (I could see it happening often by the late medieval era as in civ2). Unless of course you're deliberately playing long games like diplogames.

speaking of nukes...


but i can't build tactical nukes for my nuclear subs.

this is a first for me..and i can't quite figure out why.


... please tell me why i can't make nukes (i have tons of all the resources so its not that)

Check editor, if deselected all nations can have nukes with manhattan project improvement, you can't have nukes either.

Also can't change manhattan to small wonder.

If want nuke, start a new game AFTER you check your editor.
