The Nuke

whoa, hold on, the nukes can potentially remove any unit from play in exception for the Thor, mothership, ultralisk and the Immortal. Also, the resources required to build nukes have decreased significantly, allowing the player to enmass them. Any more improvments in the damage output will diminish Terran Vs *Insert Faction*, to a Nuke only match.

 

they could always decrease the cost to the point where we have a Starship Troopers style hand-nuke that the infantry carry. lol.

 

haha, yeah, one time me and a friend were playing LAN in school (screw doing work) and he rushed me with a huge army, and he had won for sure, but i nuked the front of my base right as he was coming in for the kill and killed everything he had in one shot. i then took 10 marines and 2 BC's and won.

Do you honestly think that will happen?

DISCLAIMER!

*blizzard will release a balanced game, dammit*

 

imo nukes should be more powerful. an idea i have is that anything in the main blast center of the nuke takes 1000 dmg. as blast admits outward units farther away from the blast center takes less and less dmg.

for example, lets say the blases is a perfect circle. everything in the center of that circle takes 1000 dmg. going more outward in about halfway fromf the center of the circle and the edge of the circle units take 500 dmg. everything towards the edge of the circle takes 300 dmg. units beyond the blast range takes 0 dmg.

but if this idea was to be put in place then of course the price should be 2x=3x of what it is now and about 2x=3x more supply. the build time should also be 2x-3x longer.

but nukes are hard to make work in a serious game. which is why most pro players avoid nuking all together (except boxer lol) and i dont see any strategies with nukes in it for sc2 either. to me nukes just seems like a fun gimmick that you pull off in team battles/fastest maps/ums. i honestly cant see how someone can build a winning strategy for nukes in a 1v1 situation in sc1 or sc2 unless the player your going against is super noob or you are already winning the game.

 

1000 is a little too much, but I like the outward radius dispersion idea. Maybe like 400 since they are so easily buildable now.

To be honest, I like it the way blizzard has it now.

And no, nukes have won me games before.

 

Ummm, nukes already have regressive blast radius damage, don't they?

 

Boxer only used the nuke because he knew he was against a noob (sorta) and when he was winning. It was really amusing to see Baxter's face when the message appeared.

 

nukes have definitely won me a ladder game before. so, it was PvT, i was losing a huge battle, and i saw "Nuclear launch detected" and i like....oooo shizz......thus i retreated my units, while still searching for the nuke thingy. his units followed, the nuke landed, boom his army is dead >=d

 

When your opponent nukes himself you aren't exactly playing the average ladder game.

 

lmao! self-pwnage!

 

Lolz, what noob did you play that wouldn't have pulled back his troops?

Lolz oh crap a nuke. Hey idiots that's nuking me, why not take this hit 4 me.
Oo no prob! Blam!
Thx stupid...

Btw didn't they implement a huge target instead of a tiny dot.

 

The huge target is only for the provider, not the receiver.

 

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

u know ur going against a noob when he nukes and owns:laugh: himself


but that reminds me of when i was playing a 3v3 no rush zero clutter game last night. the dude nuked half my army while i was attking the middle. we still one, but it was pretty stupid and just delayed us from winning cuz of his stupidness lol.

 

SON OF A MY MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!

What you don't like the "childish" mad hatter?
I guess you're freaked out by johnny dep? Lolz

Ok I'll change it but I'm on my iPod so it won't get changed for a couple days till I get on the comp and acually remember to change it.

Any suggestions?

Hmm and that suks that the target thing is only for ones self T_T
(at least I said something to add to this thread)

 

Yes, but the guy getting hit only sees a small dot.

 

hey, i did too.....well wat i said added to the forums, and thus indirectly to this thread.

niceshadesnick, gasmaskhorse already stated that

now, its good in my opinion fer the enemy to see the small dot

 

yea its ok
in any case, i nuke isnt very intimidating anymore. if i saw the nuke dot, ill just be like, o who cares lol. if i see the ghost, ill be like...........i dont wanna reach over there, and right click it

 

(Insanity didn't 2x post I deleted mine)

LOL to lazy to save all of youre troops? I guess if it's FPM who cares but I dont think people will use nukes that much

 

xpxp i was just exagerrating, but seriously i think that would really happen, especially in my tired state...but i will use nukes, just to see wat happens... YO I WANNA NUKE A XELNAGA WATCH TOWER AND THE ENEMY WOULD BE LIKE "WTF?!?!?!" lol
