ruthless, there are plenty of military simulations out there. This ain't one of them (neither is RoN, but you would LIKE its CMs).

The only real improvements I can see that are needed is a greater range and as panag said to be launched from ships.

Indeed as in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where ruthless served aboard USS Kittyhawk. I forget the actual range of CM in Civ2 now but you could load them onto Aircraft Carriers could'nt you ?

Panag, you've got to be joking about Civ.

Harpoon I could understand - the maps aren't the best but the modelling is very good, especially V3.

But CIV? The time scale, the physical scale, all of the warfare bits seem like a long way from the real world.

CIVs a great game - but surely there are better battlefield simulators than this?

If not, maybe I'd better write one quick.

not to mention some european countries who are using strategy games more and more to teach the next generation of high ranking "players" , .......

the US , UK and french now even have special more bloody games like doom etc , ..... " to get used to the blood and how to react in a given situation at a specific time " , ... in other words , how to teach " survival " , .....

and any serious military person who has been to an armed conflict in the last couple of years can tell you that there is not a lot of differnce between civ or some other games and the c&c in the HQ , ......

Hmmm, if this were true, the above might be considering the danger of culture-flipping in that ancient Babylonian civ they've just moved into.

Put an end to popups!

Actually, cruise missiles saved my country!... during the WW1...
I managed to hunt down ennemy radar surveillance site with cruise missile, why did ya use cruise missile will you ask?
I had not lots of modern assault tanks, and I needed them to capture the three ennemy cities wich was the main objectives of my "Retaliation Operation" . With radar surveillance, defensive bonus of ennemy units was multiplied. thanks to air bombing coordinated with a final cruise missile fire on each target ( radar i mean) troops what kept safe the radars were destroyed, and my uselless old infantries could destroy the radars site without problems. My tanks were free to attack the cities in the same round, cities whose radars were destoyed...
but this was a defenses operation, these cities were located near my frontiers... as the releationships were more and more bad, i began to organize" Operation Retaliation" . Unfortunately, the cold war ended on a tragedic world war...
I am french sorry for the faults...

My Country, my country, not the france in our real history... because in the real WW1 we can read in history books, cruise missiles did'nt exist, even if french army was quite great in those days (sig) it hadnot cruise missiles. The firsts were the german von braun's V2...

Mott:

The V-1 was the first cruise missle. The V-2 was the first ballistic missle.


As for the game:

I have modded the CM to be a tactical missle; as such it can be loaded onto any ship that has enabled the 'transport only tactical missle' flag. I have also modded Battleships to carry one tactical missle with subs able to carry two. Finally, I have also modded the CM to have a range of 12. (Land attack variants of the tomahawk has a range of over 2500 nm.)

Remember that a CM can also be rebased, it is not dependent upon transports, or a road/ rail network.

I'm sure this was more of a psychological advantage. The injuries would have been minimal, but the fireworks scared the sh*t out of the Mongols.

Mott:

The mod for the CM is able to be created with just the editor.

For the CM just increase the bombard range to 12 and highlight the special ability of 'tactical missle' also make sure you keep the 'Cruise Missle' special abliity highlighted!

Next pick out which ships you want to be able to use them (For me BB, SS, SSN, and Aegis Cruisers) and increase the transport capaxcity to the number of missles you want the ship to carry. then go down and highlight the special ability 'only transports tactical missles'

Note: You can only have one 'transports only' special ability highlighted otherwise it will not work properly.

enjoy!

I don't play much MP but it should work if you have included it into a scenerio. NOTE: A small drawback with the CM with this mod is that it can not move on regular tiles, it is only allowed to rebase on airfields or modded ships. (just found this out with play-testing) It is IMO a small price to pay for the increased mobility it provides with ships and airfields.
