@daddler88 That's heavily dependent on the yield of the nuclear weapon, and the height of detonation. A 50 megaton nuclear weapon, the largest ever built, detonated over the center of Berlin at 13,000 feet would level buildings for roughly 25 miles, almost reaching neighboring Potsdam, and cause 3,048,520 fatalities; 83% of the city's population. People would experience 3rd degree burns across a 65-mile area surrounding the city.

One could bring up the fact that the Tsar Bomba never entered official service, but to that I would say: This is Civilization 5. We don't have giant death robots, X-COM squads, or Gandhi the Conqueror in real life either.

Good idea, but cities today are so big that it takes several nuclear explosions to cover a city, it takes more to wipe one out.
Berlin would need 4, Mexico City 11, Chongqing is as big as Austria = 80-140.
I think you have no idea of the sizes of cities today and the average damage potential of a nuclear weapon.

Great mod. Thanks for sharing. Good Luck with this and all your future endeavors.

Pair this with the damaging fallout mod and nuclear exchanges become a LOT more devastating.

i cant chose this mod in the mod menu, i dont find the mod under the name "nuke[...]", can you help me?

I can't base 1mt ICBM in other cities.(sorry for my english)

Why you don't give meny scren?

Could you write new price of nukes? I like this description, sorta, but I like to use a lot of nukes as well.

everyone saying ghandi doesn't nuke - play the game.
in 3 out of 4 games I play I get nukes by him, if I don't kill him before nukes.

Ghandi will ♥♥♥♥ you up with this so quick. Its not even funny how fast he will.

Basically, Ghandi's base aggression in the original Civ games was set to 1 on a scale of 1-10. After researching democracy, the bot's aggression would decrease by two. Since computer counting doesn't take negatives into account naturally, Ghandi's aggression would instead be around 100 on a scale of 1-10. The devs considered it hilarious, and decided to keep the bug in the rest of the Civ games. Sorta like the origin of TF2's Spy.

the whole thing about ghandi being a warmonger comes from an earlier game, where his aggression was so low, that the value went the other way and was several orders of magnitude higher than anyone elses

or something like that anyway

why does everyone think ghandi is a warmonger in civ? he never builds a big army or makes nukes

Ghandi loves this mod.

@zdoney What the ♥♥♥♥ are you talking about? Ghandi is a wuss. I've never seen him build nukes. I have never seen him build anything better than war elephants. He usually gets swallowed up by other civs around him before the industrial era. If he makes it to the atomic age, he just tries forming reseach agreements with everyone, denounces anyone who refuses, and suppliments my decisions in the World Congress...


...Seriously! That's all he does. Am I misssing anything here? As far as I can tell, he just builds atomic plants with any uranium he comes across. By and large, he's the most passive civ in my game.

And just when I stopped getting obliterated by an Indian "pacifist"...

@stonecutter lmao

this is the true Nuclear Power

Ghandi is not that powerful. Ghandi was never a threat to me, He was just my foot stool.

Ghandi....NO! GHANDI NOOOO!

and everyone dies. True story.

Looks like a have trouble with mod - nukes do not destroy buildings.

yall watch out for Ghandi XD

i normaly just nuke the sht out of him first because i am always fist to getting nukes and urainium so i always win xD

i just love being the backstabbing basterd on civ 5....act like i am all goodie two-shoes with my "allies" but when my tech is fully updated an ♥♥♥♥...i's nuke da ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and take over the world....oh god the red button is SOOOO sexy lol.

is it strange that so many people have trouble with ghandi nuking people. i have never seen ghandi nuke anyone, but i have seen him back stab the ♥♥♥♥ out of his allies.

LOVE NUKES

WHY GANDI???? WHYYYYY YOU WRECH ME

*never plays with india as AI ever again*

could you make it so you can shoot down nukes, like add anti balistic missiles and let planes attack the bomber. Even an operation starwars project in the future era to let you counter nukes

loving the realism keep it up

Ghandi! NOOOOOO!

Glad to see there are so many nuclear weapons experts here to critique the the game's realism.

Orbital Ballistic Missile from Beyond the Future with this just wrecks some 'holes.

great mod! but for the sake of playability can u instead make like 25% of the buildings getting destroyed? i know in real life everything boOOOOM ITZ GGONEEE
but come on , have some mercy D:

Not bad

Even if the Tsar bomb was an overcompensation it is undeniably the most powerful nuclear weapon know to man

Not bad, gave it a go

TSAR bomb was unusuable as a weapon, just a great big expenisive over compensation by the russians...

could you add diffrent nuclear bombs even as simple as radiation bombs massive fallout heavy death rate in city and destructive most building in city and tile improvments destroyed and a bit of fallout

still waiting for them to add the bomb that makes the american nuclear bomb look like a baby toy... Tsar Bomb

implying all nukes are equally powerful

tactical nukes are much less powerful than you seem to believe

Sounds ok so will subscrib and try it out.

I have a mod donwloaded that allows the construction of orbital nuclear missiles. These are basicly Uber missiles that instantly destory a city and have a range of 24. Not sure what the exact mod is called but if you know of it. Does your mod affect that one as well?
I think it is still thought of by the game as a nuclear weapon but just extremely more powerful.
Does your mod broadly affect everything under nuclear weapon category or is it just the specific bomb and nuclear missile? if its the latter then I might not download this mod since it wouldn't work.

bewhere of GANDI!!!!!

IKR this mod rocks thanks vertani

I just found my favourite mod

Uranium costs are unchanged; only production costs are increased. If you want to test it to see how it plays, I recommend starting a game in the Atomic Era.

So how much uranium will you need to build a nuckler missile and bomb when the mod is enabled?

Yes, it's compatible with basic Civ V, Gods & Kings, Brave New World, and most other mods as well.

does this work with BNW?
