To get the most kills, remember that each nuke halves the population of a city when it hits.

that is not correct, i suspect! 1 nuke will not exactly halves the pop. i think it is variable.

so in summary

0.7 pop against a real opponent (Abeilt not at there best) Russia (me) v Asia

isnt bad?

[Forever Young]

no, it isn't bad. to bring down your opponent under 1 million pop is very good.
of course it is always relative to your opponent how good he is

i understand nothing!
but i am right that 1 nuke will not halfs the city pop in defcon? or my screenshots are defect?
a city with 100,00 pop won`t be down with 1 hit to 50,00 pop or 50 percent.

Given that your screenshots only show the "after," and not the "before," they don't mean a lot to me. My guess is that they are not telling the whole story. On the other hand, I haven't actually bothered to read through the code to confirm what I wrote.

A nuke will kill exactly half of a cities population, but only at the very center of an explosion. Just the explosion doesn't happen in the center of a city, but when the nuke is as close to a city as it can get. A moving nuke has a certain position in GameTick 1 and another in GameTick 2, its not a continuous movement. And if the next GameTick would actually move the nuke away from the target, it will explode.

my first screenshot shows maybe not a center explosion but for that i took the second screenshot.
and for me shows the second screenshot an excatly center explosion. and it is not possible for the auto marked target to half the pop exactly it will be never half the pop excatly.
and xander, in my 2.screenshot: 1 hit 51.1 million pop and 48.9 million dead you can easy add pop and dead.
then you you have excatly the pop before. 100,00 million pop. and it was a 100,00 million pop city.
i ever also thought, 1 center nuke will kill half pop ever.

Thats what I meant to say.

To prove my point you could repeat your test at gamespeed 1x and 20x and notice the difference.

thx senator! i think, i got it now.
and for düse: i have tested it out for 2 times, every nuke in the right way on cities.
it seems not possible to get down pop to 0,1 pop at the moment
in both tests, i have only reached 0,2 pop , too!
but, my idea is, to get more dead people with fighter splashes over cities.
maybe i will test it again sometimes!

FY stop wasting time with these "experiments" (Schubs done it) and get yourself on a server for some good old nuclear combat!

sry for spamming your thread!
