ICBMs randomly spawn, with a radioactive effect upon detonation Screenshot 2024-04-22 9 50 50 AM

I know its an urban legend but it's funny that he has a 12 for build and use nukes in civ 5

3xionDev commented 2 months ago

while this is funny, it doesn't really follow the scientific-ish naming scheme of most tech, and adding an entirely new projectile type for one JUNKtech is kind of overkill

AnnonymousNerd87 commented 2 months ago

well all you have to do is add that one radioactive explosion upgrade to ICBMs

AnnonymousNerd87 commented 2 months ago

and because its a Junk it doesn't have to follow the scientific naming of the other tech

AnnonymousNerd87 commented 2 months ago

I mean, bounce isn't scientifically named, and its a junk tech. landgreen even considered adding coyote time to the junk tech pool, and that's just a roadrunner reference

AnnonymousNerd87 commented 2 months ago

I mean, junk is just there to be funny, like "not a bug" just causes a fake crash

3xionDev commented 2 months ago

coyote time has become a technical term in the development community so it counts i believe

AnnonymousNerd87 commented 2 months ago

well still, its junk for jokes and I don't feel like the name matters too much if its junk

you could be right. this would be an interesting tech. we'll see where our savior landgreen takes this.

I could take it if he doesn't

I mean, all I would have to do is add a very tiny chance each frame to spawn an ICBM at a random position, then repeat that multiple times
