Prometheius Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Nuclear weapons are extremely devastating to nations being attacked by them. Nuclear weapons completely reduce the number of defending soldiers for a defending nation to zero (50% Survival if the defending nations has the Fallout Shelter System wonder), cause great amounts of cruise missile, tanks, land, technology and infrastructure losses (35% each up to a base limit before the techbonus of 150 land, 150 infrastructure, and 50 technology), reduce defending aircraft by 75% (aircraft supported by the Foreign Airforce Base wonder and aircraft carriers are reduced at a lower percentage), reduce defending Corvettes, Landing Ships, Cruisers, and Frigates by 25%, and cause population happiness to plummet for a period of 5 days after a nuclear attack. Nuclear weapons may not be launched until after 24 hours after declaring war. Shouldn't the last sentence be '25 hours'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fokker Aeroplanbau Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 And in the last sentence, I don't know if this is you or the game, there is one too many after's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Shepard Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 It isn't 25hours. It also isn't 24hours. It is some time, after 24 hours. So, you cannot launch until some time after, 24hours after declaring war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Rupert Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 As I recall Admin's explanation of how "after 24 hours" worked, one has to wait until the top of the next hour after the declaration of war was made to be able to launch nukes. Thus the worst case scenario would be declaring exactly at the top of the hour which would require a 25 hour wait to launch. Any other time would be more than 24 hours but less than a full 25 hours. Someone declaring to do a quad at 11:45pm gametime would be able to launch at update of day 3 (24:15 later). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the sentence reads a little weird with "Nuclear weapons may not be launched until after 24 hours after declaring war." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
