 V2
- The best-known guided missile of World War II was probably Germany's V-2, which
appears in Rise of Nations in the Modern Age. All missiles in the game are
particularly useful in destroying buildings. In addition to their range, their primary
asset is that the only way to destroy missiles is to destroy Silos before the next
one launches. Once a missile is in the air, it is going to hit something, and there
is nothing your opponent can do about it.
Missiles can also go over mountains and forests, and over water,
and of course do not need to return to their base.

 Cruise Missile - The Cruise Missile is the
bigger, badder (and even cooler-looking) upgrade to the V2. Packed with enough conventional
warhead to take down a Fortress in one shot, the Cruise Missile lets you wipe out
building after building without killing your own troops in the shock wave of a nuke
blast. Build silos and start targeting and launching. This is especially satisfying
when your opponent is in the same building and within earshot.
Don't let too many of these pile up across the border from you. Just one can be
trouble.
