How many nukes did you have to expend to take Darwin?
-- tones (9/1/2009) I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager. And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

I didn't know you had such a nice navy, Tones!
We would have collided our navies if I knew.

Then you would have found a big nuclear-sized hole in yours Tongue

Scip is so right in an earlier post where he suggests this scenario needs a lot of work. How useless were biological warfare bombs given the effort it takes to build 'em!? And if you can have stealth bombers and destroyers, why not tanks and stealth suits? Where were all the cool advanced technologies; death-dealing railgun satellites; terraforming; mind-control of the enemy; multiple armour and weapon upgrades; dreadful nanotech grey-goo accidents, etc., etc., etc. ???????? In the end it was mostly pile 'em high, send 'em in and damn the torpedoes. Hardly rocket science.

At least I didn't resort to nuking a city before invading it - what sane country would do that? All I did was raze Jerusalem!!! w00t

Yeah, itza moderately crap scenario posing as something cool. Much like Civ4 in generaly I hate to admit . . .

1 nuke to hit Darwin. Did you have SDI? Regardless, the 1 and only nuke I ever had (started with it) worked when my invasion force hit outside of Darwin. Bio stuff? Sounds like fun. Ditto on the city shieldings and all that stuff, but I was too busy cranking out units to build any of those.
