But remember that every city which is not close enough to a river/flood plains will just shrink

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Aye, Nuclear Warfare is about to start playing a big part in my current game. Global warming from Factories already heating up, and atm i'm in the middle of a very effective Conventional war with America, as my Transporters are all overworked bringing the Hordes of American slaves back home (it's literally tanks one way, slaves the other!!) , i think i'll start planting some forests (apart from next to rivers!) and have a nuclear war with China!!

Also, i think I'll make Nottingham an 'island', they dont really fit in with the rest of us normal englanders.

So, If i get enough American Slaves ( i aim to get at least 100 to add to my presently large work force) I can keep all major cities forested for a few millenia (a bit of starvation may happen but thats ok right?), and eventually, after global warming dies down i'll have the upper hand being the only grassland empire left no!?

Excellent stuff,
Cheers
Matt

Actually, Hills can turn into plains with global warming.

In my own game, a tile of Hills with Gold got converted to plains with Gold.

quote: Originally posted by Nym Tundra can not be changed due to global warming. When a tile is subject to global warming, its 'value' is decreased by 1 (grassland -> plains -> desert and planted tile -> unplanted tile). Desert and tundra have the lowest 'value' and hills and mountains are not subjects to global warming. So, to protect a tile, you can plant trees on it. That's what I am trying to do to protect what remains me (30 alerts per turn now and 60 some turns ago).

If you have to stress yourself about planting trees to protect the environment and wait over 100 turns... don't use nukes!

Furthermore, a tile can be impacted by global warming twice a turn. It is quite rare but it happened to me.

Why can we capture cruise missiles but not ICBMs?

You can destroy part of them with SMD (small wonder, last advance).

Sorry for not being clear.

When you take a city the ICBMs are always destroyed you can't take them intact.

Good question that I did not understand. And for which I have no answer.

But surely for someone deadlocked in the Modern age behind a couple of stronger AI, it could be considered a stratagy to let off a few dozen nukes in non-ai terrority (while maybe undertaking some terraforming work) and grow forest , then sit back and wait for the AI to fall into the dark ages??!?

Because we haven't had enough post-apocalyptic jokes in this thread yet...

"TWO CITIES ENTER! ONE CITY LEAVES!"

I once carpet-nuked an entire continent indiscriminately. It's worth it, just to see the orange haze that hovers over the WHOLE thing. You can also send in your troops to pick through the rubble, if you can FIND the cities.

I once nuked a square with 6 ICBM's, and I swear, a mountain in one of the surrounding squares just ... disappeared...

I was real surprised to see how seawater was transformed to desert... The fishes there should cause a disease in the city "eating" from it!
