What ever happened to the "boomer" subs of Civ2? It was great to have a sub loaded with 8 Tac nukes quietly cruising the seas. Now that nuke subs can only carry a pitiful single tac nuke, I find myself not even bothering to use this ability. Perhaps firaxis felt the new ICBM unit rendered a heavily loaded nuke sub obsolete. However, the cost savings would add up if a sub could carry multiple nukes, for example; 4 ICBMs=2000 shields compared to 4 Tac Nukes + 1 Nuke Sub=1340 shields.
I'm still scratching my head as to why cruise missiles have lost their ability to fit on subs. Not a huge problem on maps with large continents but I find it bothersome on island maps.
Ah well, just a little minor whining.
