Nukes and Missiles

[Spartan]

Nukes

Nuke attack will damage 3 nation's buildings, destroy 20% of all defending military units, 15% of nation's resources and 5% of nation's population.

It will be possible to nuke a nation only once per war.

Nuke attack will max-out war penalties in the nuked region.

Anti-air defense buildings will increase chances to defend from a nuke attack.

Nuke attack will cost 12 action points.


Cruise Missiles

Will damage 1 building, if the attack is successful.
Anti-air defense buildings will increase chances to defend for the attack.

Will there have to be a cost to upkeep nukes or make them realy expensive so someone cant just build thousands and have the enonemy not feel it?

[ariyan]

Good Update,When are nukes going to be added?

[Daviesolu]

Devastating but a great idea, the war mechanics would make more sense if it is implemented

There should, I suppose

[talon]

Upkeep cost also becomes a tough balance because what's expensive for a smaller nation might not be expensive for a larger nation, especially as our world nations continue to grow.

Since there's no planned mechanic for allowing the destruction of weapons stockpiles, or other spy mechanics to even see what opponents weapon stockpiles look like, perhaps instead of an upkeep mechanic right now, it might be better to have a maximum unit mechanic like our other types of units which could also prevent stockpiling by setting a cap. It might even make sense to have a maximum cap and an upkeep cost so it doesn't just become something everyone has in their back pocket at all times without some monetary penalty for holding them.

Would nukes have any other penalties like less resource production for a few hours and maybe for the 15 percent it decreases by 5% an hour until 15 percent to make it like the deaths are occuring due to like injuries and stuff

[ariyan]

They should make it so that every 1-2k people would die every hour cus radioactive poison

Here's some balancing ideas:

• You are only allowed to have 1 Nuke at the same time
• You are only allowed to build 1 Nuke per day (or multiple days)
• You are only allowed to have 10 Cruise Missiles at the same time
  
• You are only allowed to launch 2 Cruise Missiles per nation per 12 hours

Here's some additional rules that might be good:

• It takes 1 hour to build a Cruise Missile
• It takes a day (or multiple days) to build a Nuke

thats all i got lmao

I like the limitations, maybe it should be connected to buildings in the military region

There should be a very expensive building that would make it so that you could get 2 nukes a day

That would be OP because it gives more power to those with hella cash and less power to those without. 1 Nuke that blows up 20% of the defending forces and damages 3 buildings (among other things) is plenty.

you're right, but the building should be incredibly expensive, even hard to get it for the best players.

Well then that just makes it useless. No point if having it if you can't actually get it, right?

well, i never said it should be impossible to get, it just should be more difficult.
