This is a reply to Spacemonkey but I want to make a more general point. - I perfectly agree that 1 megadeath does not mean 1 million dead. But it is more realistically a 1% loss of economic capacity as larger cities concentrate more economic and command power (particularly for tertiary activities). ...

thanks all for your interest. First, again sorry for the pics, I thought it was necessary to show the problems and to get reactions about blatant mistakes. I will change that for a link (I m new in this forum). Second and VERY IMPORTANT : the game cities.dat is WRONG (from a geographic point of view...

this is interesting but probably not in the "defcon spirit". µYou have written "realist" which means unbalanced...... All the data stuff is rather easy to find (I probably have most at hand.... but you can guess why the USA is called an hyperpower). The problems are balancing the...

Hi all, first post on this forum. Hey, what a game ! Well, now to the point : I think collateral damage is caused when an enemy ICBM is destroyed close to its target (that is your city.....).
