targeting nukes?

[Dida]

how does the set target option works for Nuke? is there a "launch nule" botton somewhere that I hit to launch all nukes?
Nukes are behaving strangely in CTP2. sometime I launch a nuke at enemy city, it will just disappear half way in the flight, nothing happend, my nukes just disappears. that sux.

That is a very good question!!! I'd like to know too, so if there is anyone out there who knows please share!

Targeted nukes only launch when, an AI attacks you with nukes. If Civ A Launches a nuke against you and you have x missiles targeted against civ A and they have enough fuel, they will nuke their cities. the thing is I don't think the AI even builds nukes So it's a waste of time to build them.

the reason your nukes aren't getting where you want them to is that they don't have enough fuel. they can only move 20 tiles with out blowing up.

that's what I thought, but the game don't show the nuke blowing up in the air, so I'm kindda confused.

Also, did you have this problem? when playing the game on Ultra Large World map, it will freeze up randomly?

no, but I haven't gotten very far in the game yet using a gigantic map 180 by 90 which is about the same size as Ultra gigantic.

Is the AI building nukes in your game Cuz in all of mine the AI has never built a nuke, and once I had a heck load of nukes and they didn't build any.

This is probably for CTP2 - Mod forum but has anyone thried SLIC like this:

//strategies.slc for MyMOD

HandleEvent(NextStrategicState) 'StrategiesSpecial' pre {
	int_t my_cities;
	int_t strat_rnd;
	player[0] = g.player;
	my_cities = player[0].cities;
	strat_rnd = random(100);
	if (strat_rnd <= 50) {
		if (HasAdvance(player[0], ID_ADVANCE_AERODYNAMICS)
		|| HasAdvance(player[0], ID_ADVANCE_SUPERSONIC_FLIGHT)
		|| HasAdvance(player[0], ID_ADVANCE_ADVANCED_COMPOSITES)) {
			ConsiderStrategicState(player[0], 9800, StrategyDB(STRATEGY_AIR_SPECIAL));
		}
	}
	strat_rnd = random(100);
	if (strat_rnd <= 33) {
		if (HasAdvance(player[0], ID_ADVANCE_GUIDED_WEAPON_SYSTEMS)) {
			ConsiderStrategicState(player[0], 9900, StrategyDB(STRATEGY_MISSILE_SPECIAL));
		}
	}
	strat_rnd = random(100);
	if (strat_rnd <= 50) {
		if (HasAdvance(player[0], ID_ADVANCE_NATIONALISM)
		|| HasAdvance(player[0], ID_ADVANCE_NEURAL_INTERFACE)) {
			ConsiderStrategicState(player[0], 9800, StrategyDB(STRATEGY_SPECIAL_SPY));
		}
	}
	strat_rnd = random(100);
	if (strat_rnd <= 33) {
		if (HasAdvance(player[0], ID_ADVANCE_NUCLEAR_POWER)
		&& WonderOwner(WonderDB(WONDER_NANITE_DEFUSER)) < 0) {
			if (my_cities > 35) {
				ConsiderStrategicState(player[0], 9900, StrategyDB(STRATEGY_THE_MAXIMUM_NUKES));
			}
			if (my_cities <= 35 && my_cities > 20) {
				ConsiderStrategicState(player[0], 9900, StrategyDB(STRATEGY_THE_AVERAGE_NUKES));
			}
			if (my_cities <= 20 && my_cities > 6) {
				ConsiderStrategicState(player[0], 9900, StrategyDB(STRATEGY_THE_MINIMAL_NUKES));
			}
			if (my_cities <= 6) {
				ConsiderStrategicState(player[0], 9900, StrategyDB(STRATEGY_A_PAIR_OF_NUKES));
			}
		}
	}
	if (my_cities < 4 && g.year > 75 && player[0] != 0) {
			ConsiderStrategicState(player[0], 9999, StrategyDB(STRATEGY_SMALL_EMPIRE));
	}
}

And that chunk of code means that...?

[player1]

I just hoped that sombody from MOD-forums would read this.
I was probably wrong.
Anyway I gave an example how stategies can be chaged through SLIC.
It's just a part of my code.
It changes strategies for specail units
depending of certain techs on random bases
& gives AI abilities to build nukes from time to time.
It won't on it's own I just wanted to say that you CAN MAKE AI to build
NUKLES.

Hey folks,

I destroyed a nuke sitting in an enemy AI city a few games ago. So I guess if the conditions are right they'll build some. I was getting whipped at the time though... maybe their power and dominance had something to do with it.

If AIs have nukes they will target their enemies with them,
so if you are at war with a nuclear force AI, and you fire your nukes,
his nukes woudl be fired at you at once.
(exept if his nukes are already targeting some other AI)

AI will not normaly fist attack with their nuclear arsenal.
P.S.

You can chage that in startgeis.txt by adding this line in all war
stratgeies (like SEIGE,ATTACK,DEFENSE):

    NuclearFirstStrike: Enabled
    NuclearTargeting: Enabled
