means the cruise missile wont do much. Increase these in the units.txt if you want the missile to actually be useful.

What values would you recommend?

Am not sure if the AI knows how to use them but my guess is it doesnt. Someone could probably do some SLIC to have the AI launch a missile attack as a bombardment before a conventional attack. Wouldnt that be cool to see the AI do that

My assumption is that its a full salvo of high explosives like they used in the gulf war (the little bomblet types) so I wanted it to do MAJOR damage except to the upper end units like leviathons. You could also make multiple variants of it to represent the evolution of the missile. a v-2 might be something like 75 attack, 3 firepower, a tomahawk (100 attack, 4 firepower), etc. But these numbers correspond to my completely modified attack/defense scheme, so I'm not sure what numbers would work best for you. If it helps, my tanks are 75 attack/75 defense, armor 4. Am not sure if the AI knows how to use them but my guess is it doesnt.

I agree. I also think it would be cool for them to use nuclear weapons, ask for reductions, you know, in the style of the Cold War, complete with the tension and overhanging threat of nuclear warfare...but alas no, it won't happen until one of the talented guys around here edits the slic.

Looking forward to the finished version of CTP2 though, it'll be a blast.

Plus there are sooooo many possible scenarios, assuming the game limitations dont bite us too much. As one of the civ2 moders reminded us recently, there are always hidden features yet to be explored.

I guess this game wasn't such a bad buy after all.

Yeah, as the game becomes more understood, I'm finding that its not as bad as I originally thought but they just hadnt optimized it, but the majority of the code works well once tweaked
