Are they really any use at all?????????

Pros:
-Make massive damage to a city.

Cons:
-Make every nation at war with you when used
-It takes so many if you want to criple a nation.
-Makes polution higher
-Damgages your rep(there goes a U.N win)
*and more right now can't think of any thing

So ultimetly there not to helpful.The cons just to badly outweigh the pros.



So this is my Question:Is it really any use?,Thats for you to decide........

I've used ICBM's only once and it was after about the third turn before other countries started to declare war on me. I suppose the best use for these would be to create enough to bomb each city on the map a minimum of 3 times and have enough troops positioned right outside the blast radius og each city to come in and take over or raze the city to the ground. After three bombings per city on the entire map, I doubt there would be much resistance to your troops. But depending on the size of the map and number of other civs cities, I wonder how much cash you would have to generate to support that much. I have no idea if it is possible.

If you only wanted to take one country at a time, I wouldn't use ICBM's.

ICBM's are only good for crippling countries you have no intention of occupying permanently. However, they act as a major deterent if you want to avoid war (and it's a good idea to kepp a couple stockpiled for defence if you're not going for a military victory).

I find them useful for a couple of reasons:

1) Deterrence - true, the AI has little comprehension of Mutually Assured Destruction, but they do make your army look better on paper, which gives you better deals in trades and less of a chance other countries will declare war on you. It's "hard power" at its greatest.

2) They are better than those worthless regular nucular weapons.

3) You should have them just in case...you never know what's gonna happen.

4) At the end of the game, it may be just you and another strong nation. Even if there are several other weak ones, using ICBMs may be worth it.

Even if you don't want to use them, just having them gives you a lot of advantages. Why do you think so many nations have them now?

I just use it for fun.
If you build enough of them you can conquer all your opponents in 1 turn.

When I play a pure conquest game and it happens to last until the modern era, I build 100s of ICBMs, target 1 county and bomb the ****** out of it. Making sure to have 30 or so left, I don't care if they declare war on me, any armies they have, I nuke!

Of course, I'm just a nuclear maniac...

I just enjoy having them as a deterrence. One per city, tends to make the AI rethink a nuclear attack.
