Overview

The Nuclear Missile is a weapon of mass destruction, used to wipe out entire enemy areas. If used in excess, they can cause Armageddon, or the end of the world, and cause all players to lose the match.

The ramping cost of nuclear weapons also considers the number of nuclear weapons previously detonated, causing their continued usage to become increasingly expensive for any one player.

Nuclear Embargo is activated as an aftermath to the use of Nuclear Missiles.
