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.

fallout would not end life on earth, idiot. Nuclear winter itself is propaganda by the no nukes
people.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Score is based on casualties for the most part.

Same with US.
If you don't care about loss of life, you target silos for the shortest game.
