I agree and disagree, I am pretty sure what we call targeting computers and their function is targeting acquisition.

However, it may be less confusing to rename it.

I added the text explaining the attack/fortify direction up the missile.
Plus I switched the Spies back to their own country. It makes more sense that way. They are stationed in their home country but can do bombard the opponents to stop the missile launch.

Plus I cleaned up the glows and some of the other text.

Nice work. I was going to ask you to move the spies back because it was confusing, its better this way. If you named the scientists you might as well named the bunkers since they are real bunkers, one is in cheyene mountain and the other one is in Virginia but its not really top secret anymore. Also the uranium places are based on fact also, I think there was Yucca mountain and some other uranium mines or something.

As for the USSR, i kinda made those up :?

Also I think the silos need some kind of graphic, maybe just a missle next to it, like in the bunkers. They seem kind of left out.

Since that territory is a target, does it mean you would need the US president, US warhead, and Russian target to get the bonus??

I dont think this will be too much of an issue, since by the time someone actually has a shot at launching a nuke, the sides will be separated meaning there is no way to occupy a foreign target acquisition.

Personally, I know that he means to keep it in the same country, but I could definitely rationalize it being the primary target for the first strike. A sequence like: The president controls the warhead and has now locked on to the desired target in the opposing country.

Yeah, partially, because the first one is the primary target and then the rest is open war.

you would put the spies on their own country since they need to travel to the other country, hit something and immediatly retreat to prevent being discovered, this explains bombardment. and the anti-spy agencies can bombard the other countries spy.

ive got the flu so i aint thinking straight but i think the US has the CIA and the USSR had the KGB (am i right for anti-spy agencies?)

and i still think that bond should be a spy since he got famous in america :P!


any thoughts about this? its not like either country just let the other's spies in

That is why they are spies. No one knows who they are except the country they are from.

Here is how it works.
-The USA and USSR both have 2 spies.
-They live in the home country, they can move around and attack inside their home county along their connection lines.
-When they go on a mission, attack in the other country or bombard, they kill the targets but to not replace them with their own people.

Is that explained well enough?

The text explaining the 1 way attack/fort up the missles is a little uncomfortable to look at.

a size increase plus a little transparency should make me happier, or instead of the transparency change maybe a slight yellow tint to calm the bright effect of the white
What do you know about map making, bitch?

How does the missile launch reset to 1 neutral after every turn, doesn't decaay stop at 1?

And, if it's not, make the missile launch bombard the other countie's missile as well.

I think it just resets your armies on that territory to one every turn. No neutrals.

Oh Yes. All territories start off with 2 neutrals except the cities.
The 18 cities are divided up among the players.

WM i jsut noticed that your bunker icon in the legends is too dark and rather hard to see :)

Also when can we expect a large version to surface?
