How is MAD??

[Monkey]

Can someone who has the game and have reached to the nuclear stage tell me how well MAD has been implemented?? Is it interesting, does it make a nuclear war more tense, does it add anything to the game at all??

I've reached the nuclear weapons stage, but it took me awhile to figure out how MAD was implemented (there was no mention of it in the manual that I could find). Anyway, the nuclear missiles have a "set target" order now. You tell the missile what target you want to nuke, and then you leave the missile in a city. If you get nuked, the missile launches. Of course, you can't move the nuke again unless you want to reset the target. Now how well does it work? I don't know since I am, for now at least, the only Civ with nuclear weapons (and even I only have one, and it's constantly moving around on board a submarine).

I was also wondering about this. Anybody got any more info? Anyone played the Nuclear-type scenario?

I tried it briefly and destroyed the planet quite quickly! If you are at war for 12 turns, Game over, Man (To quote my favotite of the alien series)

I actually had a city survive, but the game forced me to quit. Made me think that a Nuclear winter scenario could be interesting. Wasn't there one for Civ 2?

Anyone up to the challenge of making it?
