Is this possible? SAM suggestion...

[notyoueither]

Coastal fortresses reduce Naval bombard against units and buildings in the city by 50%. That's fairly significant for a building that is cheap and costs 0 gold to maintain.

Especially when those Battleships are escorting Marine laden transports. Heh.

Still, it hardly deters the marines from landing - you need ships to do that, which is an added cost and all they do is sit in case of an attack.

It makes your chances better when the Battleships bombard at half strength prior to the Marines coming for you. But again, it's a cheap, 0 gold building.

The SAM site, now there you have a legitimate b*tch. Better to just build Fighters/Jets and station one per city. Except you have to build 4 or 5 SAMs before you can build SDI.

I have engaged in a fair amount of modern war. I have only seen SAMs work once. BOTOH, I don't know how much the AI builds them, and I have never had an important city (ie one that would have SAMs) bombed.

So far, what i have done is created interceptor SAMs as mentioned above and also given SAM sites a 25% defensive bonus, as i've yet to witnessed any effect from them at all!?

I'll let you know how the SAMs work out...and whether the AI will use them...?!

hi ,

maybe we should get a type of ground-air unit , huh , read missile , ....the start and impact could be like the cruise missile , so just a couple extra units , ......
and the sam in the city would only have like a 60% chance of hitting a modern day fighter , and only a "stock" of lets say 5 missile's , after that we would have to build 5 more , ...

have a nice day
