1) Never. I hate nukes and try to avoid any nuke wars at all costs. Why? I need to be in total control of the situation and nukes take that away. I have been in games where there was multiple global warming, but not pollution EVERYWHERE.

2) Dips and spies, no doubt.

'cause as soon as you use it you'd better make sure all of your cities have SDI unless you want to get nuked big time...

1. Yes, I have nuked, nuked, nuked. In one or two games, I only built nukes and I nuked everything and anything that moved. In those games, I even built spy units specifically to disable SDI in enemy cities. I admit to causing collateral damage to my own CIA. I protected a few of my key cities with SDI and embraced the FORTRESS AMERICA concept. shades on -- to protect from fireball explosions.

2. Flying force gets shot down too easy, but you need fighter protection. Navy too expensive and slow. I do a combo dip/spy and army (paratroopers, tanks, howitzers). After all, you have to occupy the enemy cities to weaken the opponent. If I am way ahead on techs I may terrorize the world with my flying force until other civs get their own flying force.

3. There is no way you talk like this all the time. You are most likely a white boy who goes out and buys rap music so the girls think you are hung like the brothers...

oh, however, I'm sure you are high, of that there is no doubt.

I find your postings very funny, I hope you continue to post.

1. I never build nukes, and rush build SDI's whenever someone is building the manhattan project. I have never had global warming (probably because the AI doesn't get pollution.
2. That's a hard one. For me it's a good army backed up by a HUGE spy corps. when you destroy several improvements a turn, cities tend to get into trouble. makes it hard for them to support their population, much less an army.
3. do I really care what you talk like, as long as I can figure out what you said? not really. but you've got to be high to e nuking THAT much.

I think the verdict is still out on whether or not you can sabotage SDIs.

2) good dip and spy core - you can recruit anything else you need via the Corps (The Corps is Mother, The Corps is Father )

Only once in a while, and only to see what type of reaction you get

HAHAHAHA! ROTFLMAO!

2) Some of each, but mostly spies and garrison troops.

3) Good bet on the high part, most unlikely on the speech part. Even folks who lean that way talking, don't type that way on computers. However, not bad for a poser.

OK. I'm busted.

I just got too carried away thinking about massive nuclear civ war. Smokey peaked my interest.
