What would make you use a nuke

[HazieDaVampire]

lol, i just used my spys to find the nuclear sub and a normal sub hiding near the north pole!i'm gunna surround it and follow it, once my forces in the bases around greece are full of modern armor i'm going to attack!

I had some good uses of nukes.
It was one of my early Emperor games.

Basicaly, I didn't counquered anything early so I had too little cities.
But I needed to get some city power base for space ship program.

And my conquest was too slow.
(they had Mech. Inf.)

So I used several nukes to soften several enemy cities.

After that conquest was quick & easy.

Luckly I has in alliance with every other civ so there was no diplomactic penalities.

And luckly they only had 2 tactical nukes mounted on nuc. sub far away from my cities (subs were later destroyed by succesfull use of steal plans & battleships)

i ain't nuking my own city, i know its just a game but i like to play my games with as relistic an attitude as possible, the only time i'd nuke my own city was if it was life or death!

hi ,

ahem , you could nuke the city before you take it , ....the Greek one that is , its full of people who shall resist and go in disorder , so , use a nuke but only so that the nuke hits it on the border , .....this way you still have clean land for food and create a buffer with polluted land , and most likely the roads there are gone , so , it works as a kind of defense, .........

have a nice day

My current game is slow somewhat, and only in the middle ages thus far, but I got a feeling I'll have to nuke some to survive later.

[HazieDaVampire]

haha, i had a nuke design with frances name on it almost from the start of the game, luckly for them i invaded and killed them off just as i hit AD.
