View Full Version : Nuking what you can't earn

So, I'm a Soldier.....A real Soldier...In Real Life.....and in the conflicts that I've been in, when you find yourself struggling to meet your objective, you drive harder to win the fight. I've fought against foes who will fight to the death before resorting to fighting like cowards. Unfortunately, in this game, there are some "warriors" who lack the intestinal fortitude to fight for what they want. So after one strike, these folks resort to nuking a low value city just because they can't beat it with strength. For those of you who use these tactics, cough Luckykira cough Gargamel....I just wanted to let you know that I've killed terrorists who had more honor than you.

Crusty out.

The point is, Nuking is the easy way out. IMO it's cowardly. If you want a city, take it, if you can't, maybe you should adjust your strategy. I don't get mad when I lose a fight. But I get pretty pissed when someone isn't willing to try to fight for what they want. It's about as cowardly as some of the a-holes who blew my vehicle's up in Iraq with IED's. There is no gain in nuking. I don't see any sportsmanship in it.

I can agree with what you are saying. But there has to be some point in uranium, thus nukes. You can't say isn't a good strategy to nuke a city that has say 100,000 HP inside it, by spending $1,000 geos to build the nuke, rather than spending the $10,000 + geos it would take to build an army to defeat that 100,000 HP.

I don't like getting nuked either. Not at all, but I get my own nukes in there, so I feel vindicated.

08-20-2011, 06:29 PM
I'm not saying there isn't a place for it at all. But when you have more than enough geos in the bank to put up a fight, it's pretty low to send in 100 troops, find out there's 20k in a city, and then nuke it. I play this looking forward to a fight. If I wanted to just roll around and get blown up by an adversary with no class, I'd go back to Iraq.

Ptah
08-20-2011, 06:40 PM
but how to be with nukes in this case? Imagine you've attacked city with 50k army, but there was 100k army with 200hp and you've killed only half. What will you do next? nuke or spending more geos than your enemy? if you spend more - you are losing.:(

I thank you for serving our country!:drinks
I agree with you partially on nukes. I hate getting nuked and I hate spending geo's on sending nukes. They do have a role in this game. Ptah points out a valid reason. At times it's cheaper to nuke then fight. This round it may take too much oil to go smash a city with a large army inside. I still prefer the old fashioned way if possible.;waddle ;uzi

Also if you win a nuke on slots, use it, but more importantly you could be a little time constrained and therefore a nuke is the best option.

crusty_11b20
08-20-2011, 09:58 PM
You guys totally missed what I am saying. If you own over 100 cities, haven't been active for several days, and have just been collecting resources and geos the whole time(I can tell by the MASSES of armies dispatched against me) Then it's not a matter of cost effectiveness, especially when you hit one city and start nuking all your adversaries' cities after one strike. If you can't afford to take out a city that only has 5k hp or even 40k hp with brute force, then you should probably save up a little. YES nukes certainly have a role in this game, but to replace assaulting with nukes because you are simply too lazy to spend a little time sending troops 20-30 min to that city is pretty damned low.

Peonboss

That's how u win. They have a limited number of expensive nukes and the goal is to make them waste them. If they kill less troops than the nuke costs to buy you are winning.

King_Diamond

Exactly, best way to show them the middle finger is to move your army out right before the nuke arrives.

So let me get this straight "thesarge". You decide to spend upwards of $16,000 geos (if fully trained) to build a beastly army. Then park them inside a city without a nuke shield. :D Wow.

shield costs 250 geo btw...

^^^ See thesarge, you could of spent $250, but instead you watched $16,000 circle the drain.

I somewhat agree to what crusty is getting at. My only opinion of Nukes is the timing. If you send 4 nukes to one city you CANNOT defend against it. They hit at the exact same time and don't really give you any chance to fix, or ugrade your armies. I honestly think that there should be a time lapse of say 30 seconds before each nuke hit. Otherwise, what's the point of a shield? It's useless against multiple nukes. Just leave and come back when you can? The point of a shield is to save you city, but in the end, they are worthless. Nuke a city if your want, just give the city holder somewhat a chance in hell to save the city.

Ya, I was just going to place that up here. In fact, I am quit sick of nukes. They place no point in the game now. I would love a MOD to explain why they want us in the past to use GE to get our armies everywhere and set up armies, get troops, nuke shields, experience and then have it taken away with nukes? Why is there a nuke shield if it does dick all? Fix this problem boys and girls. I have no problem with nukes other than the inability to do anything about them. Give some time between each nuke fired, or get rid of the shields. It is a stupid thing in the game now. Gone are the days of battles. Now we have Noobs who just fire a bunch of nukes rather than play the game. Cause that's what it is. Fire a bunch of nukes rather than use your brains to figure out how best to attack the city you want. :censored

Sunshine31
08-28-2011, 02:34 PM
Melek, the nuke shield does an awful lot more for you now than it ever did before. You now have to send 2-3 nukes to take it down, whilst you are doing that, the city owner can actually increase the protection on the city, as well as have a chance to move armies out if they are online.

Before you would send a single nuke and it would instantly take out the shield and everything in the city.

Now personally I hate the shields, but I think you are forgetting how much worse it used to be.

It does take a little strategy to send a nuke now, you need to know if a player is online or at least pray they don't refresh their cities page to see the nuke incoming

Cash
08-28-2011, 02:55 PM
It would be good if nukes didn't destroy cities but just reduced the army. If it was a small army under 10k they lose the city. If it was a larger army above 10k they get a higher hp like if they where hit with a army.

Nukes are just too cheap. That's why they are used so often.

There comes a time each round when city income is increased to pay for higher troop costs. At that time the price for nukes should be increased as well.

Nukes def isn't too expensive, the price should go up rather then down... It's still easy to nuke a city and it seems to be the easy way out now that oil is so expensive, you will rather nuke a city then send a big army over to attack.

I agree with Melek that there should be a time between each nuke for when you are online and can see a nuke headed to your city so that you can repair the shield after each nuke hits because right now when you see 3 nukes headed your way the only thing you can do is leave 100 troops inside the city or just leave the city...

Melek~Taus
08-28-2011, 05:32 PM
That's just it PS. You can't do anything if you see them coming. 1 nuke, fine, stock up and ride the storm. When you see more than 1 coming your only option is to leave the city and let the nuke drop. If I am away from my computer, no amount of defence will stop me from losing a city. that is not what this is about. This is about a game, where you have defensive play and offencive play. Nukes (mulitple) completely omit this. It takes 0 strategy to nuke a city, ZERO. Either you take the army out with the city, or the city itself. The point is to take out the city first, and the army second. I've been online for nukes and offline. No matter which way it is, the city will be lost. My only thougts are to either have a time between nuke launches, have the ability to counter nukes (like real life), or make them expensive again to actually make them strategic...cause they aren't anymore. Agian, this is not about nuking in general, it's about not having a chance in hell of doing anything about a bunch of nukes other than tucking you tail between your legs and running. Something I would think this game is not about? Maybe I'm wrong?

-Make the nukes and shields more expensive(GEOS only) to make them an actual strategy and not a waste of time

-Make a counter defence whereby a city can send missle defences in a say 4:1 ratio giving the upper hand to the nukes

-Continue on this way, making it useless to even own the shields that cannot do dick all against the nukes. Before after, no matter which way you look at it, nothing changed. The prices went down, so 3 nukes cost the same or less(?) than one used to back in the day. Nothing has changed except now we need to turn tail to save our armies, cause the cities will be useless for 20+hours. (again, nukes are not bad, just the idea of not being able to do anything against them defeats the purpose of the game)

@Ptah...offline online, is NOT the point. Nice of you to miss that. It's about the balance of the game. There is no point to a shield if you can't defend against the nukes. There is no point to armies in a sense with nukes. Just have 20 guys in your alliance keep sending nukes rather than armies. "I think nukes are very expensive (+silo) and slow"? WTF! Who cares how slow they are. There is no defence to them, so they can take 20 days to reach the city, and you still lose it no matter what! 1000 geos for a silo, which can build how many nukes? It's cheap as hell to nuke now. Too cheap! It now costs less to make a large army and send it, than to nuke a city. This goes against the ideas of the game...you know, using Google earth and such.

I think as someone mentioned before that the shields should be removed and nukes price increased. And for those that want a delay so they don't have to either leave the city or die: if someone launches a nuke against a city in real life, there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Where is everyone's invisible nuke shields? I do think that you should be able to intercept nukes with your own nukes. This would be like a real life "missile defense system". I also think it would be great if whatever city the nukes were above when they made contact with each other, thus both detonating, gets nuked in the process.

It's not really about having time to repair the shield in between nukes hitting, it's more about the ability to do something to prevent them from hitting in the first place. Right now all you can do is watch them come your way and do nothing but wait for radiation to clear.

I just nuked 2 citties to see if my nuking finger still work:D picked them because they had been held all reset, just to show you active players that people will not have many troops in a city if you are not attacking them,that way they can save geos on troops cost smart on the city owners part but I am ashamed of you hard core gewars players to let citties be held without ever being hit.maybe we should have the ge admins give bonus out for everycity that has been held for 1 month, then add a bonus increase after that, maybe the city could get a free admin upgrade in value every week without a attack after 30days.If that wont get people fighting I dont know what will lets reward the active while we are at it, If you take down a city that has been held for a long time maybe pay you a percent of the city value in geos, kind of like a bounty, :) skol

No one is complaining about being nuked P boy. It's about the logistics behind the nuking. Nuke anyone anwhere, it is part of the game. The idea is to be able to defend in some way against multiple nukes. Give the option of buying a defense system whereby you can counter the nukes or partially counter them. Remember "Clear and Present Danger"? When the Russians blow the carrier up. They had those gats to shoot them before they hit. They stil got hit, but they took out a few on the way. If you Luke sends 3 nukes, and I kill 2 of them with my counter punch, then I may only suffer a major troop loss over a whole group and the city because there is nothing I can do to prevent it? In fact, the idea that both myself and Rothchild are floating around would increase the game, and increase the strategy moreso than it is now. Instead of looking at the results of an army on army attack, you would see Nuke vs laser beams, or sharks with laser beams mounted on there heads. It's a way to make the nukes a more strategic weapon, by making it more a gamble. Perhaps to increase your odds, if you send nukes from varrious cities to increase your chances of a win perhaps? It makes perfect sense rather than what it is now.

Oh and tweedy...I don't wear the panties. I may take them off...but they were never on me in the first place. Stop trying to justify you wearing them for you own reasons by infering that those that have ideas wear them. :nana

Correct me if I am wrong Peon, but this game is ever evolving right? So, basically, what you are saying is, if we have a suggestion or comment on the game, we can stick it where now? Most are coming up with a solution to a concern some see. It is a valid concern with valid solutions. Yet, here you come insulting those that have been here for quit a long time, and new folks. Funny, you call yourself the newbies best friend, and yet when they come here they see that same guy insult people who have an idea? Interesting. You want input to make the game better, and insult us when we do? Again, interesting.

No one is insulting those that are making the game possible. We are talking about a problem that some of us see, and have thoughts to possibly fix it.

Oh Peon, how you have become that which you hated most. The hypocrite. The only conspiracy here is you don't want people to give their thoughts on the game anymore. Wait that's not conspiracy.. you just said that in your own words.

Um...I actually commented and agreed with the original poster. I could care less about being nuked, attacked or whatever. In fact, I am one of those who says this is a war game and whining about being attacked is stupid. I had an issue a while back, but never spoke about it because I didn't much care about it. Only after crusty's post...and furthermore, on the third page did I comment. I hardly see how that is 'whining'. Please explain?

In this case Pboy, I am not complaining about being nuked (learn to read). I am trying to say that there should be a change in how nukes are used and whether or not we should have some way to make them more strategic. Sorry if you missed that in the multiple posts that both myself, and others have mentioned (including your alliance mate).

So once again, instead of using that little pea brain you claim to have. You utter insults once again. I am surprised someone so concerned about this game gets so defensive when others suggest changes. Hey folks, got a suggestion. Keep it to yourself. Peon is against suggestions. These posts are proof of his hypocracy!

Again, this is about making the game better. How is forming an opinion....that OTHERS SEEM TO AGREE with, whining?

I suggest looking in the mirror Chuck. You'll see the real whiner. I haven't whined about being attacked in a non-sarcastic way. Ask House if you want. It's a war game, why would I complain.

I further suggest you re-read my posts on this topic. Better to make more intellegent posts rather than just assuming you know without looking. While you do...you will notice I complained BEFORE I was nuked at Cape. Loser...thy name is Chuck!

Anyhoo enough of your bs, this is a perfectly legit thread about suggestions for the game!

EDIT: And don't drag Luke into it, he doesn't like you very much either... Oops did I just say that

Sorry I thought it was common knowledge :blush2

This all just pretty much made me realize why I ignore poen. Whines about us posting suggestions, then brings in Luke as if he will ignore our suggestions because it's us that's posting. Clearly doesn't know Luke all that well haha

Because i am on vacation i have not read this thread. This here was actually the first post I read and did have to comment on it:
Please, as you yourself said, keep me out of it. That would ofcourse especially count for comments like that. Only I know who I like and like less.

If it was a response to someone else saying the same(as you use "either") then the same counts for that.

Yeah, sorry, I knew you wouldn't like being dragged into a thread like this. The last bit was just to put 'MR Big shot know it all' back in his place and it worked haha

Again you are clueless. Surprise! I used Luke as an example of behavior I should emulate. And then I did so.

The only thing that "worked" is you once again made a fool of yourself. But it's a talent you work hard at so...

I don't know Peon, afterall...

"I give up. Life is far to short to deal with this type of banal crap."

And here you are still dealing with it? Seems kind of condratictory? I suggest you just accept you didn't make a good point, lost this one, lick your wounds and come back when you have something constructive to say. Right now, it's just blah blah blah, and well, trying to work your way around your words by trying to give Luke fake compliments is somehow beneath you...afterall, you are evil aren't you? The only surprise is that you think we'd beleive that.

Hey Stanley...not trying to take away your glory, but your point? This was about nuking in general, however it more or less became about multiple nuking and the lack of an offensive structure that make nuking protected cities more strategic.

The fact you nuked a city with one nuke is fine. In fact, if you don't at least have a nuke shield then you are asking for it.

:rofl

As far as everyone pointing fingers and calling names, I didn't start this thread to complain about the mechanics of the game. Every thing in this game is a tool to be used in battle. My complaint is that I want to fight against strategists, not skynet. Using Nukes to bring down troop levels is one thing, using them to zero out an opponent because you are too lazy to attack and take cities IMO is cowardly. When you use a nuke as a first strike option on a city with little to no value, and 100 troops in it, that's just plain stupid. Get off your cyber ass and do a little bit of work.

I know that's what you meant. I just used the opportuity to point out a 'complaint/thought' that I had been thinking of. Your post just became a 'tool' of its own.

The city of Sukkur, Pakistan was nuked by Itchy . 1 of the armies with a total of 48,326 troops were incinerated. auctionking lost the city.
