Terrain Deformations; Nukes.

Hello I have a nice little suggestion, would anyone else like to see something similar to the planet smash effect only with a nuke? Now, of course, the rock wouldn't go flying out into space but I'd still imagine it being blow upward and outward (Possibly causing some extra small aoe damage to surrounding buildings not affected by the initial blast of the nuke?) Basically, I'd like to see nukes break big chunks out of the planet and create a small crater! Anyone else want this?

Oh don't you just love my super non-biased, answer filled votes? <3

mm i kinda like the idea but if its a crater i think it should just be an art work rather than an actual crater deforming as i imagine will be annoying to build up / move units through them

That would make some awesome gameplay.

They would be basically the same thing as moon craters, I don't see a problem there. I believe they may have said somewhere that nukes would create craters in a similar fashion to asteroids but don't take my word on this.

I'd be open to the idea of having craters from nukes. Could be fun.

Could also get really annoying, since you'd now have a hard time building in your base.

Maybe if it was just a small crater?

All I know is I would absolutely love to look at a battlefield afterwards, all the holes and charred trees, remains of units and buildings... It'd be a sight to see!

Technically you can "restore terrain" when build something base because game store state of all terrain changes for ChronoCam anyway. At least it's can works fine for small craters.

Can we get a big truck unit to fill in craters too?


Vroom vroom!

At least, a large decal on the ground would be nice.
At best, a shallow crater to not make rebuilding too annoying.

Carving huge canals would be awesome for strategy.

WOO BIG TRUCKS! AMERICA! Etc... etc...

As long as the craters are navigable.

With big trucks. Of course.

In real life I don0t think nukes actually throw rocks unless oyu bury them underground before detonation, but I do believe that if they detonate low enough they leave craters, and I'd like to see those.

I would also like to be able to blow up small moons/asteroids with enough nukes as well and have the chunks fly off in random directions and possibly do a lot of damage to any planets they hit.

Erm.. but to create a crater you'd need to physically move the rocks (Unless the rocks vaporize?) but the shockwave and explosion itself should cause some debris I would guess.

What do you think fallout is?

Fallout is the time when radiation is settling down. At least I think it is.

EDIT: I just checked wiki:

What do YOU think fallout is? Because one thing it isn't is the destructive capabilities of a nuke.

it's actually arguably the worst thing about nukes.
