Civilization V Nuclear Missiles Destroying Cities 

gets nuked several times "l trust you will be merciful in victory" wat

The first time I launched a nuke, I had no idea that there'd be such a thing as "friendly fire"...

"This ones for 1776 bitch!"

*Ghandi Intensifies*

Nuclear weapons are so damn scary that even a video game clip like this gives me chills. Their power is so fucking insane.

*Nuke affects Boston in video* Fallout 4 anyone?

“Where there is love, there is life. Unless you nuke the fuck out of life.” -Mahatma Ghandi

I have close to 600 hours of this game and i had NO IDEA nukes can ultimately destroy a city :D oh and, having nukes makes all AI players poop their pants/loincloths/armors

Once, in a multiplayer war against a friend, I faced a well-defended city on an isthmus that blocked the way to his core. It would have made for a long and brutal footslog, except I had just produced two nuclear missiles and loaded them aboard submarines off the coast. One turn later the city did not exist; its location was now a radioactive highway for my panzer divisions, racing northward.

I've had a game of this where several powers developed nukes. It seems that the AI is rather...nuke happy... I had to push through Nuclear Non-Proliferation in the UN just to keep them from irradiating the crap out of each other. Thank goodness the UN MUST be followed in Civ, unlike the real world.

I fucking love this game, ever since my friends introduce me to it i been playing it none stop. I'm just minding my own business trying to win a scientific or cultural victory and some ass hole has to declare war on little old me, so i nuke their cities several times and they come begging for peace, then im like (smirk).

Why immediately annex? City revolts for X turns (city size).

The fact that you can destroy cities with nukes unlike in civ 4 when they only bombarded cities.

remember when field of poppies played the first time you atomic bombed the city 3 times then nuked that sum bitch then field of poppies played then as you watched all the enemy units just vanish and all you hear are screams in the faint distant cities while you army walks up and see the ruins ? i felt like an asshole and couldn't bring my self up to even play anymore

Gandhi, are you being a warmonger again?

THE GLOW. THE WONDERFUL GLOW. CAN YOU NOT SEE IT, GENERAL?

how could u do dis to merica u monster

I'm sitting here scrolling my mouse trying to zoom in.

This makes we wish that the Civ series still had the "Nanite Diffuser" from the "Call to Power" games...

i finished like about 40 games in civ 5 (all dlc) and i still didn't nuke a country...i dont know i just cant do that...i am feeling bad for the people :(

Washington is a nuclear wasteland, yet on the leader screen it seems like it's the perfect day for a picnic.

Good thing I still have that old fallout shelter, eh? eh??

who i can play this vid in 1440 pixels. AWESOME!!!

Title Screen: FALLOUT The scene focuses on a Radiation King-brand TV set that's somehow still functional among a nuclear-wrecked cityscape. The song "Maybe" by The Inkblots starts to play in the background. On the TV screen, there's a black screen with the following message in box: "Our dedicated boys keep the peace in newly annexed Canada." The TV then shows a scene in which there are two U.S. soldiers in power armor, along with a captured Canadian protester who's kneeling with his head down. One of the soldiers mercilessly shoots the protester dead, while the other one watches. The shooter then waves his non-weapon hand at the camera. Then, we get a close-up view of the shooter's power helmet-covered head, with a waving American flag in the background. Then, the TV screen switches over to some eagle seal image, along with the message, "BUY WAR BONDS". Then, the TV screen shows an advertisement for a Chryslus-brand automobile, the Corvega, which boasts that it has no computers or electronics. And that it costs "only" $199,999.99. Then it goes to another commercial, this time a commercial of the Mr. Handy domestic robot. Message: "Mr. Handy: he's sooooo handy. Walks the dog..." Then, the TV glitches out as the song "Maybe" gets stuck on "Maybe Maybe Maybe Maybe..." And then, as the TV screen goes dark, all is silent. Narrator: War. War never changes. The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower. But war never changes. In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: petroleum and uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska; the U.S. would annex Canada; and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation states bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth. In 2077, the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders. And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise. A few were able to reach the relative safety of the large underground Vaults. Your family was part of that group that entered Vault 13. Imprisoned safely behind the large Vault door, under a mountain of stone, a generation has lived without knowledge of the outside world. Life in the Vault is about to change.

Missles are for units, Bombs for cities !

Alright, good job, now you own one small, crappy city surrounded by nuclear fallout. Seems like a win to me...

Say it to me. At game terms, when Egypt built Manhattan Project I was hurry to get Diplomacy Victory... He got Uranium, he denounced me and he was my neighbour... (I built that project too... but he used to have +50% hammers than me!) That was the worst experience... And it reminded me the Cold War... and Iran and North Korea of today :S

Holy shit.... that water is so detailed!!

It makes you feel bad with you self when you start hear the screams of the population.

3 Nukes land within a small cluster of Cities - all humans, buildings, military unit, landscape - all completely obliterated - except three random deer next to Boston who remain completely unharmed...

>Be me >Download a mod so I can play as ISIS >Spawn next to uranium with America on another continent. Oh. This is easy.

Washington: I hope you will be merciful in your triumph. Me: 0:56

a tear shed for the fallen...

RIP America. By the way, is there a way to clean all the radiation?

What Kim Jung UN does everyday on the computer while crying and eating a dinner for 10

The game is set for the units to be huge so you can see them, the normal world is probably a mile for every tile.

that escalated quickly

"The glow the wonderfull glow!!! Can you not see it general???"

Now imagine that happening in real life... :(

Playing the game without cheats was too tough for you I see.

One time i had my military all stationed around a city at a safe distance from the nuke, so they could bomb then the soldiers move in and take the city, but the nuke spread farther tgen i thought, while destroying their army, i accidently killed off my entire military :P

Waiter! There's a Founding Father in my Radiation Soup!

I think he means in-game, in terms of how far their tech-tree was behind.

The funny part is he chose to ANNEX a devestated city and it's property. Screw rebuilding that, Raze that to the ground!

125 happy faces? How did you get to that? I can't go no further than maybe 10-15!

I know. They must have one hell of a diet and exercise program to prolong their lifespan.

0:43, Dammit, you just killed me! (I live in New York. Not as polluted as you think).

Thus Fallout began.

Even in games the temptation to use that much firepower is too great, i hope for humankind that this doesn't happen in real life

I had all of america as rome... Then came the nukes damn immortal difficulty

Am I the only one that thinks Washington sounds like Randy Marsh?

Al-Qaeda's wet dream

depends on what u like doing. If u like seeing thousands of armies fight eachother then Stay in Total War, If u like the more building aspect, culture, diplomacy, and shaping your empire to what u see fit then go to Civ 5... Both games are good and addicting, I personally play both of them, but if u are to choose one of them then u got to ask yourself, what do u want to do in the game, that will be your deciding factor. In closing, is it fun, yes. More fun then total war? Depends on you!!

Kim Jong-Un just pressed the red button.

Well puppet is good if you are taking over tons of cities, that way you won't have to manage all of them which can be a real pain in the ass if you have 20 cities. Razing is almost never a good idea unless the city is in the way or you just don't want it at all

"Shall I push the button?"

welcome to the watch list

In civ 4 I never nuke unless it is a last resort because it causes pollution and destroys the land you want to take.

Thank you for that flashback!

....this is where war will get us.

Nukes were never this good in Civ 4 lol

I was friendly to Rome, they was going to win. They started hard war with America, i learned nukes, bombed Rome several times, fought and captured some survived cities, and got victory. Backstab :)

didnt even realize that nuclear missiles can completely delete citys

I don't mind how they work mechanically so much as how little diplomatic penalty there is for using them. F-ing Pachacuti triple-nuked me once and suffered absolutely no diplomatic consequences. God I hate that guy. But anyway you should lose representation in the World Congress/U.N. if you nuke, IMO. Maybe not all, but some delegates. I mean I realize that the U.S. got away with it once, but in general it would cause the international community to totally shun a country at the very least.

im guessing pollution doesnt cause nuclear winter like in civ III?

Thus begins Fallout.

You must have Direct X 11 for this feature.

A lot of people dream that it could happen in real life )

Elizabeth: Independient, huh..?

[Survival 1 / 10] Is this place safe to live in?

@HrKristofferBjerg the graphics settings, put the 'leader scenes' on a higher setting and it will be fixed, though if your pc cant handle it it might slow it down.

If only they did this back in 1775.

You? Why? Oh my gosh. I, why, make it stop.

he is in his exact replica bunker

You shold have razed D.C. It wasn't complete destuction.

Gandhi rained nuclear hell fire one too many times on me...

@webblayne What difficulty do you normally play on?

Still better love story than Twilight...

0:30 You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

I had no idea that nukes can wipe cities from the face of the earth.

This + real nukes mod + ICBM mod = Hawly Shiet

Little late on that mercy thing Washington.

How did you get you civ to be so happy?! I struggle to keep my civ happiness above 0.

Why is it satisfying? Also do it on Deity

Command and Conquer (Zero Hour) FTW! General Tao

dude you can make SLBMs in this game? what about ICBMs?

gandhi with no random personalities

in good old Alpha Centauri alls fations would turn hostile and you would be immediatly be thrown out of the planetary cousel, i.e., UNO. Unless a law is passed permitting the use of nukes.

I just realized something...are you related to Princess Consuela Bananahammock? (Hopefully someone will get the reference.

And fallout 3 begins...

wait how is washington alive if somehow we got nukes

I don't know what you mean by legitimate Roman Empire, the Roman Catholic Church is an extension of the Empire. Constantine I was still an Emperor of the Roman Empire maintained military might, and there were plenty of emperors after him as well. The Empire didn't end with the Flavian Dynasty.

This is an interesting version of the American war of independence...

Well, you're accurate in your statement since America is the only nation to have used nukes on another nation.

MERCIFUL LIKE A FOX

explosions of happiness

I meant like the legit Roman Empire back when the Flavians ruled.

im unable to find my nuke in my city..dam thing hahah

How did you put the nuke in the Missile Cruiser ?

Nuking like free of charge. Damn
