>> [_] Anon 915519 >># To be honest, this game is a lot like tic-tac-toe. The only way to win is to hope the computer player makes the mistake of not attacking your silos and subs first. If you wind up with far more silos than your opponent, then you can just decimate their population and rack up the score. You'll lose a lot of lives and a few silos in the process, but it works. However, if you just sit around attack population all day, or do 50% of each, your enemy can decimate your ability to attack. So, if two humans were to play this game against each other knowing the way to win, both would attack the silos, and only random chance would dictate who wins. In a reasonable simulation, however, this would result in mutual assured destruction regardless of silos/population, and the fallout would more than likely end most life on earth. So yes, nobody wins.
>> [_] Anon 915524 >># fallout would not end life on earth, idiot. Nuclear winter itself is propaganda by the no nukes people.
>> [_] Anon 915526 Only thing this is retarded, Ef you got 30silos and ai has one (done that). When you shoot, 30 is taken from your warheads, and when they shoot with that one silo a lot more than one is deplayed, ie one silo destroyed six of my silos.
>> [_] Anon 915527 >># Well, maybe not. But you could win through economic warfare, like what we're doing against the USSR right now with gas prices. When they were buying a lot of gas, we kept it high. When suddenly, they became a net exporter, we forced the price into the basement. After a while, their war infrastructure falls apart, and we can nuke them back to burning hell with impunity.
>> [_] Anon 915543 >># A simulator that takes into account economic status as well would be difficult to maintain, I think. There are an awful lot of factors that enter in to economy, and few are predictable. You are correct nonetheless. >># Believe what you like.
>> [_] Anon 915553 Defcon is a lot better than this
>> [_] Anon 915571 What the hell. I played the first time and destroyed all of the enemies silos; didn't get a great score. Then, I destroyed most of the silos and killed everyone in the enemy's nation; got second place. What the hell.
>> [_] Anon 915590 >># Score is based on casualties for the most part.
>> [_] Anon 915591 I won with a score of -265. America. FUCK YEAH.
>> [_] Anon 915630 I love how it's a zombie that has 3rd place, lol
>> [_] Anon 915650 Woot! 1 million. All glory to the USSR!
>> [_] Anon 915664 /r/ song on URSS ownage over shit fucks americans
>> [_] Anon 915732 >># Russian National Anthem.
>> [_] Anon 915742 >># technically it wouldn't end ALL life. Just us and most other multicellar organisms
>> [_] Anon 915743 You Won! The Americans Surrendered! 206 Americans died, 14 million soviets died!
>> [_] Anon 915748 >># Same with US. If you don't care about loss of life, you target silos for the shortest game.
