How to correctly use nukes?

It seems that whenever I find them as a rare unit, they die without killing almost anything. I was told you have to use them a specific way or they won't work. What is this "proper way" of using nukes?

It is a server problem. And admins are getting it fixed.

This thread has nothing to do with nukes, actually...

Perhaps if nukes had a minimum damage?

Attack with something more than just nukes. Have around 10 infantry so they take the bulk of the attack and your missiles don't.

That's the problem - in our system there's no minimal damage. All damage has a range of 1 to max. damage. Nukes and missiles have only one chance to attack, they're destroyed immediately after that. Sometimes, they don't deal a whole lot of damage, but the potential to do 60-120 damage is there.

So yeah, all units do 1-max damage, then arb is added on top if it applies.

so it's pure luck if you do or do not get a good hit with nukes, like with an afterwind, it's a random roll from 1-120.

this also explains why some battles just don't go your way aswell.
