nuclear warheads

nuclear warheads

why no nuclear warheads

why are't there any nuclear warheads in galciv2?i don't know if anybody had this idea before or not but you know it would be cool if you could have nuclear warheads in galciv2.you could have nukes instead of mass drivers.I mean that mass drivers are huge asteriods strapped to rockets to hit specific targets on the planet.but dosen't anybody know that if a asteroid hits a planet all life would be destroyed.It would be just stupidity to say that 3 planetary improvements were destroyed and the planet base class has dropped by 6.if an asteriod hit a planet there would be no accuracy if a 500 metre long asteroid hit usa today it would kill atleast 3 billion people what if it was propelled to go even faster with rockets strapped on?.an asteroid could reduce a class 26 planet to a class 1 or zero.plus nukes would be more accurate on what they would destroy.or you could destroy capital ships with nuclear warheads.if you think that would be annoying think of what the brits felt like when the U-boats were sinking their supplies and battleships.

If English is indeed your first language, perhaps you should work on:
1. Capitalisation of I and the start of your sentances
2. Spelling and Grammar
3. Spaces at the start of a new sentance
4. Paragraphs

Frankly, even if English was your second language, that's no excuse for 1, 3 or 4. If you do have a history degree, you must have done essays, and I can't believe you'd have passed writing like that. Until you do this, you'll have trouble with people not taking you seriously.

So, you got As and Bs in your astrophysics classes. At high school, I assume? As you say, that does not make you an expert in astrophysics. In fact, it makes you an armchair physicist. I respect your degree in History, but that is irrelevant to this particular discussion.

Now, I ask that you respect the fact that I am two years into my Physics degree. (Yes, I know, everyone on line is an expert programmer, scientist, lawyer etc., but in this case I actually DO study physics.)

I would also not refer to myself as an expert in astrophysics, but I do know that Wormholes are the work of sci-fi, not of science (they have their origins in science, but I don't think there is any actual theory that involves wormholes). They certainly aren't mini-black holes.

I'll bow to flayed_one's knowledge on the Schwarzschild Radius, it sounds like he knows what he's talking about, and there aren't any errors that I can see.

First of all, not in high school but in colledge.
Second of all, I did say that I respect flayed_one's knowlegde on the Schwarzschild Radius and the fact that I had failed to notice it does not mean I that I am an idiot. He added to my knowlegde and I appreciate that.

Thirdly, I did not say I was an expert in astrophysics, only in history(I have a certificate to prove it).

Fourth,How do you make those little green boxes and put other peoples text in them.

Fifth, THIS IS THE INTERNET EVERYBODY MAKES SPELLING MISTAKES.JUST LOOK AT FLAYED_ONE(no disrespect)OR ANY BODY ELSE.LOOK AT SO MANY OTHER POSTS ,THE HEADLINES ARE SPELLED WRONG!

Sixth,wormholes are based on actual science not science fiction just new ideas about 'how cool would it be if wormholes were like that instead of like the one in science'

Seventh,Why I wanna give guys a challenge:can you think of any type of armour that is featured in galciv(no matter how advanced)that can withstand against anti-matter.you can even make up your own weapons and armour and hope frogboy will notice it.or you can post new ideas in your own posts.

Theres thousands of toms of meteorites that hit earth every year but get consumed on reentry, just imgagine they are not using 500 metere wide astareoids, maybe 50 meter or so, enough to destroy static targets, and military positions.


I did not put thought on that before but did it ever occur to you that wouldn't a 50 meter long asteroid burn up in the atmosphere.it wouldn't make it to the surface.and if it did it would so little damage you would think somebody dropped a bowling ball from an airplane.it happened a long time ago and hit some guy's car.I saw it on discovery( it really looked like somebody dropped a bowling ball from an airplane)only a 500 metre long asteroid could do real damage.why do you think astronomers keep looking for the(specifically mentioned)bigger-then-500-metres asteroids.

Gee...I never knew so many english language teachers were into playing strategy games.

Perhaps Stardock could advertise, play the game, visit the forum, get free english lesson...or may be not...

EVERYBODY MAKES SPELLING MISTAKES


But not half as many as you. Just because you're on the internet, that doesn't give you an excuse to drop your standards. Besides which, it was the lack of paragraphs, spaces and capital letters that made your posts the most difficult to read.

Any sufficiently thick armour will withstand an antimatter attack. As the antimatter impacts with the matter, the two will annihilate. If there's enough armour, all the antimatter will be destroyed before it breaches the hull. There's also the factor of the energy that would be released by this annihilation of course, but thick enough armour would protect you against antimatter.

A black hole, on the other hand, would suck the armour into itself, which would only increase its mass and make it even more unstoppable.

EDIT: There are no wormholes in science. They are based loosely around the idea that space gets 'bent', but the idea that you could somehow bend it so much that you create a tunnel between two different places is just fiction, plain and simple.

EDIT2: To get the quote boxes, highlight the text you want quoted, and hit the 'quote' button.

okey mister,flayed one
firstly, i'd like to tell mister fuzziebunnies that I found his reply conceaving me for a twelve year old is completely proposterous.
secondly,to flayed one i never said i was a real expert astrophysicist as in officially, I was best in my astrophysics class as in i got good grades like A's and B's.but i am an expert historian.i have a university degree in history.and thank you mister flayed one for correcting me.and i admit my mistake.wormholes really are promising.its the fact that some people are saying that they can lead to an alternate universe instead just leading to another place.since(ask anyone)most people believe that the universe is a singularity(for those of you who do not know what singularity is:i will give you an quick example cuz i don't have much time and i am late for something important.most of us may imagine the universe as a dot in a really big black place.the truth is there is no black place for it to be the only space there is is the space the universe creates as it expands.so there is no big black space to compare it to because it is the only thing there is!its confusing i know.)and there might not be another universe.galciv2 uses the most believed wormhole theory.i.e.one wormhole leads to another place in the galaxy.and plus the topic has led way too far offtrack.whatever you may think blackholes afired as torpedoes (or something like that)seems stupid.
I know.I know.


Obviously, your impressive collection of degrees does not include spelling or grammer...

Doctor's can't write, spell, nor speak proper English. (Neither can any other health care provider's, including myself.)

That's why God (*TM) made Mr. Microsoft Works. To please the spelling $azi's.

Since when was it your bloody business? Because I've been here longer than you and read pretty much every post Frogboy has made on it. Bombardment won't happen.

TC probably will, due to the way it's actually winning the polls. That means it's going to be profitable. Multiplayer might happen, if it looks profitable. Again: reading posts properly equals good. You trying to be clever and failing is not good.


Its stuff like this that makes me sick in this forum.

I will make this statement again.

You guys are never going to appease the Master of Orion community acting like this in this thread.

What Frogboy says about the game is his "opinion" which is NOT shared by a large community on the net. (I don't care if he's making the game.)
Its what the community wants and how many games he can sell that matters. We want T.C we get it or we don't buy GalCiv III or the expansion. No planetary bombardment same thing. And every time you say the AI can't use it or it can't be done. All we have to do is point at (Ascendancy) (Tile bombing) or Master Of Orion II to prove you wrong.

Oh and I hate grammar trolls too.

Just so you know, he does make the game. And he's said time and again that even with the views coming through, bombardment will simply not happen. They tried to get Terror Stars in for DA, and the AI didn't use it well enough.

Guess what genius? This game is known for a good, non-cheating AI. And they won't let something like bombardment ruin that, like it did for GC1. So Terror Stars got the cut again.

It's idiots like you that make me sick in this forum, so I guess we're even. Except I actually know what I'm talking about.

And for calling me an Idiot. I call you a moron. If we cut every feature in a game the AI couldn't use There wouldn't even be any good 4x's (or any good FPS for that matter.) Another thing Genius is that Galciv2 is basically a Master of Orion II clone and contains enough copy right infringement to shake a stick at. Wanna steal someones ideas for 4 xs then you Steal them all.

Oh and about Terror Stars which every GalCiv1 fanboy has been screaming to get back in the game. Who cares if the AI can't use them. You know what I'm actaully because of you becoming pro-cheat I think the AI should be able to cheat since thats most likely the only way the AI can win.

And everytime the Stardock team of someone like you says the AI can't use something just makes YOU and Stardock look bad. Because I just call not addding these features laziness or ("there own personal beliefs which won't sell video games BTW.")

You amaze me. You know that galciv predates MoO? Frankly, call me a moron all you like. You're mentally challenged, and your opinion means less than dirt as far as I'm concerned. That fact that you keep getting things wrong really does help your case.

Good. You be pathetic. No-one cares. And again, Brad has said if Terror Stars are coming back, the AI must first use them. You don't make the game, so your opinion for pro-cheating doesn't count for much.

And everytime the Stardock team of someone like you says the AI can't use something just makes YOU and Stardock look bad. Because I just call not addding these features laziness or ("there own personal beliefs which won't sell video games BTW.")


And you can code can you? You can add the feature? Tell you what, go make the AI use Terror Stars effectively. Go write the code, and I'm sure everyone at Stardock will be happy to add it in, to please everyone. But until you have the first clue what you're talking about, go play in traffic.

Had enough fighting yet? Yeah, I thought so. Start a new thread if you want to discuss things civilly.
