If the people are unhappy and actively being nuked they will rebel also taking out civilians means no one makes food , guns , tanks , ICBM’s , and reinforcements if there is no people the army collapses and you can’t expect the army to do that stuff because then who will fight it isn’t senseless a bit waste full yes but not senseless

      @@Horible4 Actually targeting population centers is how it goes. I can't remember the name of the man who theorized it off the top of my head, but the way a nuclear war should go for maximum "efficiency" is;
      If you launch the first strike, you target the enemies nuclear capability to reduce their second strike impact.
      If you launch the second strike, you target the enemies military capacity so that when they invade you after their first strike you're better able to fight them off.
      If you are the party that launched the first strike, and have now suffered the retaliatory strike, you nuke the enemy's population so that they have less civilians to mobilise in defence of their country for your upcoming invasion.
      All strikes subsequent to these three waves are then meant to attack things like food and water production so as to create unrest and so reduce the efficiency of the land war that would follow.

    I would guess that in the beginning stages of the game, you'll want to do 75/25 towards research just to build up that gap and then slowly move towards 50/50 once the gap is clear (and where your own troops consistently outplay the enemies') at which point, once you've reached some real potent WMDs you could slide it towards construction only as you prepare for a full preemptive strike.

    I was a Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protective officer in the USAF for 20+ years. It takes ten times the fissile material for double the destructive power. Pretty much the law of diminishing returns. So..your one MT bomb is only double the 100KT bomb, as far as damage.

    Do you think they will have custom maps (or planets, as it were) so that you can play with different landmasses rather than the same thing over and over? Maybe even stages of earth from the time all the land was in one super-continent and any time frame as it spread out to what it is today? At least that way, you can kind of maintain what areas would have been South America, Africa, East Asia, North America, etc. before and during the separation of all the continents and stuff. Also, if we could change or customize the layout of territory borders, that would be cool too.

      A megaton bomb is a nuke, much like a salmon is a fish.
      In the game there are two key ways of delivering devastation by the means of nukes: missiles and bombs. Bombs get dropped from aircraft and missiles get launched from silos or mobile missile vehicles.

      IIRC the smaller generic "Nuclear Bomb" nukes are "Tactical" nukes. They do no damage to cities AFAIK and are just there as a cheap way to target enemy installations like airbases, radar sites, silos, etc.
      The Megaton bombs are "Strategic" nukes that actually damage cities.

    You are completely incorrect as to the blast power of nuclear weapons. It takes 10x the fissile power for double the damage. Your one MT weapons are only twice the blast of 100 KT weapons. Essentially, the law of diminishing returns.

      Hopefully, someone makes a modded Cold War mode that's more realistic. It's really weird seeing Africa and South America launching full-scale nuclear attacks, and the middle east should be busy nuking itself not acting as a cohesive block. Also Asia should be much more complex having to deal with a rogue nation like North Korea next to a large power like China and allies South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. Would make it much more volatile, but also super advantageous to a NATO player if Red allows a nuclear force to be built up there.
