- I'd agree with this and go further. If you're behind then nukes is the easiest
- way to go (along with the army of men in grey suits). I not only think
- that nukes should be more destructive but that the polution they leave should
- take forever to clean up and should spread (on the wind ?). I've also found
- that other civilisations just don't nuke back. I've seen and since played
- a game where two civilisations both made threats with nukes, didn't back them
- up and then got nuked without reply. In the last one I bought out a city with
- 2 mech. inf., 6 rifle and 5 nukes. It was within strike range (in fact less
- than 10 hexes, mostly railed, no sea) of 5-6 of my cities. I really deserved
- a trashing after what I'd done to them. I was playing on Prince level but I
- saw the same happen on Emperor level.
-
- I was even playing Dante, leader of the Bad Guys, I deserved to burn :-)
