Hello
I have read some great stuff on this forum, and I've always wanted to contribute, to write my own 'Strategy Report' if you will. I have this strategy I use that seems to work well against the AI, and I want to explain, though it's simple and someone else has probably thought of it. I take away their valuables.
I'll tell you a scenario that would require this strategy. The scenario is I am the Americans, a large and powerful nation, and I am fighting a war against Russia, another large and powerful nation sharing a continent w/me. I am sure we'll start shooting nukes at each other soon, and if that's the case, I'll lose the war. The have the missile defense wonder. The city w/it is far away from the border, so I won't get it for a while, and that's assuming I wouldn't get pounded first. So I loaded up 8 partroopers on four choppers, investigated the city it was in to check its garrison, and I dropped the partroopers by the city and after a series of attacks I captured it. I then airdropped tons of reinforcements in. I then had two options then. I could start a large assault behind their lines and wipe out a ton of cities or, since I had the wonder, now nuke them to death.
Something like this really happened in a game to me, though it was a little different. I had an ally (the Zulu) and both of us combined was about the size of the Russians. I did the attack but made several mistakes. One was I didn't do any recon to see if any units were close nearby, and two, I did the attack and captured the city at the end of my turn. I was going to airdrop reinforcements at the next turn but the airport was bombarded and destroyed. I then had a bunch of paratroopers behind enemy lines w/a leader, badly needed for apollo program. To find out what happened next, read the story at http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=51860
As you can see, you can use this for a ton of purposes, though mostly for getting wonders. Please gimme input!

I was under the impression that the SDI was a small wonder.
