 Nuclear Missile
- In the Modern Age, you can develop the Nuclear Missile, to be followed by the
even more devastating ICBM in the Information Age. Though you would usually employ
your missiles against buildings, Nukes and ICBMs can be devastating against enemy
troop concentrations as well.
Nukes let you offer a nasty undertow to invading armies when you are forced into
tactical retreat. If you must lose a city, pull back and let the army from across
the border have the town. Then launch a Nuclear Missile at it, and send all your
Citizens around the corner somewhere while it's in flight so you don't have to rebuild
them. Whatever was left of the invading army after taking the city won't be left
anymore after the nuke blast. You'll get the town back up and running before your
foe can reinforce.

ICBM
-
Quite a bit more expensive than Nuclear Missiles, and, like all missiles, they count
against the population cap. The ICBM flies a great distance, though (more than half
the map), and wreaks astonishing devastation upon arrival.
