How to Nuke in Style 

How to Wage a successful Nuclear War

Have you ever had one of those games were you're kickin' back, relaxing playing a nice game of 
Civ when some Stupid Little no-name Civ nukes Ya. Annoying isn't it? Don't you whis you could turn his 
Entire Empire into a glass lined parking lot. Unfortunately There is the problem of global warming and a bad 
rap with the other civ's. There is a way to have your cake and eat it to. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can't just nuke people from the start, you need a couple turns of recon before you can even think 
about killing them. So after that annoying first strike check out the enemy's cities you whis to nuke, check 
to see whether or not each city has a SDI improvement. Preferably only nuke city's without SDI improvements 
it's a lot harder for you to turn city's to slag if they have SDI defenses(Much more time too). Your next step 
is to switch to a fundamentalists government. This new government helps you because you can build 10 
units and the other Civ don't hate you as much ( The Eiffel Tower Wonder is a added Plus ). From here on 
out you go two ways based on whether or not your target's have SDI improvements or not. Also make sure 
you've got a ton of money it's easier and quicker with money.

City's with no SDI Defense 


------------------------------------------------------------------------



City's without a SDI improvement are much easier to nuke than City's with it. Your first step is to make or 
a nuclear missile each enemy city to be nuked. Next build 5 engineers and 4 para-troopers ( or something jump 
capable ). You can cross reference the units as needed but that is the minimum I would use. The next step is to 
get your engineers as close to the city's of choice without being in the blast area. If you plan on hitting coastal 
cities the use of transports and sub can make thing's easier.

Cities With A SDI Defense


------------------------------------------------------------------------



City's with a SDI defense can be a real pain. The SDI defense makes you hire a spy to sneak in and plant 
a nuke in the city, also you have to be close to the city or only take out coastal cities. A word to the wise is to 
avoid nuking these if possible. There isn't much difference in what you build except that you build two spys and 
only 4 engineers as a minimum. It is advisable to try to take out as many cities as possible in the shortest time.

After The Nukes


------------------------------------------------------------------------



After you've nuked a city its just a matter of dropping your airborne in on the enemy cities and reaping the 
mental treasures.

After all that devastation you've wrought it might just dawn on you that you just caused one of the biggest pollution 
problems you've ever seen. Have no fear, your engineers are here. Rush those engineers you made to the blast 
sites as soon as possible. You might have some environmental problems, but nothing major. As a good idea you 
might what to have a SDI defense in your city's in case your or his ally's have nukes. Last but not least have 
Fun!!!!!!11
