How to fire nukes?

Post by gamer17 »

I cant seem to be able to fire nukes.
I build the nuke launcher, then queue missiles, then I pick a target, but it never fires.

I also tried this with cheats, but it still wont fire.

You need to let it build the missiles.

Set i to holdfire incase your mdos lame and doesnt set ti for you to stop it firing at random enemies.

The missile icon will have 0\xx where xx is how many you queued, 0 is how many missiles you have built.

Look at the nuker up close by the health bar there'll be little red bar signifying progress.

Missiles cost to build so keep your economy going.

Also, check your enemy hasnt got antinukers. If you fire a nuke and they have antinuke then its a waste youll just geta big explosion somewhere in the sky where the antinuke hit it.

You have to wait until the missiles get built before launching! :)

And if you got more than one ready you should tell the nuke laucher to stop imediatly after you lauched the first one or he will keep shooting on the same place until it runs out of ammo.

Lets make that just to be sure... its not wise to play around with something that can make your base vanish in seconds... :)
