The last time I checked, nukes could only be sent to planets that were in orbit of eachother, however the other day, the AI nuked me to death (from relatively large distance too I might add). I hadn't been able to launch a nuke at him, so I was left thinking "what the ****??? What kind of cheat code does the AI have that allows that bullshit?!" Anyone have an answer to this? Because I'm left quite dumbfounded...
What could I possibly be doing wrong??? Seriously, it's as simple as select the nuke launcher when it's ready, select attack, and click a location
I even tested to make sure the nuke could be fired on my own planet, with success, so tell me, what could I have possibly done wrong, huh??
Sometimes it fails for me too, but it works if you try an area-command nuke, if you make the area size of that one nuke.
