Barbarian ideas (not just encampment) but that too

[centrifuge]

In that case, I'm thinking that a new type of nuke should be incorporated into the game. One that Barbs can use in some sort of sneak attack...

[Pedrunn]

But barb cities should be able to build it with the right set up in the strategies.txt

Do you mean something like a nuclear suicide bomber?

Not necessarily, I was thinking more like "suitcase bombs".

[Caranorn]

Well, I would think that'd make more of a special unit for all countries plus the barbarians. After all, the suitcase nuke is part of the US arsenal (was old Soviet too, probably several other states right now).

Maybe make it a variant of the spy unit, or an additional capacity of that unit.

I thought that spies could already do that. Or am I confusing this with CTP1 again...

[SMIFFGIG]

What is there functions like this on CtP1 that arent on CtP2 if so which ones ???? Other than space related functions

[J Bytheway]

Well, in CTP1 spies could (try to) nuke cities. I assumed it was in CTP2, but I've never checked... I don't think I've ever built a spy.

[J Bytheway]

I checked, and the ability is still mentioned in units.txt:

   PlantNuke {
      Chance 0.25
      EscapeChance 0.25
      Sound SOUND_ID_PLANT_NUKE_SP
      Effect SPECEFFECT_PLANT_NUKE
   }

[SMIFFGIG]

I am 90% sure this action is still used, i think spies can use it after the discovery of nuclear fission

[Pedrunn]

Have you tried the code, SMIFIGIG?

[Martin Gühmann]

It is possible to nuke a city with a spy. I tried it with a lots of spies unitil one of them was successful, in order to see my new message icons in the message box.

Ok, but how do we get the barbs to use it?

[SMIFFGIG]

Isnt there animation for the nuke?

Increase its goal element for this mean in the strategies.txt and add the spy in the unit build list for the barbarians.

Isnt there animation for the nuke?

And a really cool one. test it through the cheat editor exploding some units with nukes
