it would be nice if the mods could make it so that chems n tactical nukes could hit forts i mean tacts only work on bases n you dont wanna destroy them, being able to attack forts would highly increase not only the reason to have them but the use of the weapon

Nukes should be a last resort in war and the consequences for using them should be more severe.

I would exclude anyone using nuke from security council. Also some rebel attacks across the empire. ( yes , also in that secure mode country).

Just my toughts :P

nukes are a pretty expensive way to take out forts. also, unless they change to turnover time too, it would take you forever to take out a hundred of them. depends of course, on how much money you've got and how long you've got. nukes are kind of passe. they don't have quite the punch they used too.

no, making nukes hit forts just means everyone will need 200 more NDB and another few T in nuclear defense missiles per country to be safe :/

Well said Luonnotar :) I concur...don't think alot of people realize just how many llw/mlm it takes to run 1 NDB, it's the most labor intensive battery/weapon in the game other than strategic weapons. 200 more would be way too much.

Also, great point Parsifal :)

Good Call WB ,nukes are expensive and a drain on man power.If your taking down a country the last thing on my mind is nukes. That is,unless the war drags out longer than expected and you want to screw up the work force!

i was just proposing my idea... I mean we all have nukes and of course no one wants to use them but they dont "Pack the punch they used too" as parsifal said i mean what about lowering the cost of the tactical? did u know it take 2-3chem to destroy a strategic base *6-8B total* as for tactical to destroy a strategic its 25-27B. Tacticals should be able to attack forts or cities i mean for gods sake for being 8B n having a long turnover it sure is the wimpest of the nukes

Compared to the potential damage nuclear weapons might inflict, they are the cheapest weapons in the game.

Allowing chemical weapons to damage forts would exaggerate the costs even further.

it takes 800 soldiers, and 350 officers to man a ndb, to put 2 in each of 100 forts, would mean an extra 230K manpower to your army, the basic cost would be in the neighborhood of about 500B for the batteries, and 10 missiles per garrisons for about 2.5T to 3.5T, meaning buying a nuke defense for the forts would cost between 3-4T. and that is per country. honestly, its probably better the way it is. but its not really that bad a thought, don't be discouraged!!!

why not lower it 175officers and 400 soldiers that means you have the same amount of troops but 2times as much batteries?

or u could just use 1 ndb per fort because u only need 2 for defence against strategic bombs and since sb's r the most expensive i doubt many ppl would waste them on 1 of 100 forts.

ok what about only tact can hit forts? that's only 100 extra batteries gives tacts a new ability PLUS tacts r level 1 fallout so the neighbors arent affected?

I would waste it on a fort if it landed lol. Maybe I have too many. I don't like things collecting dust in my storage lockers.

Tac nukes would be a waste on forts, too easy to buy new forts after the old ones are destroyed.
