Missiles

Missiles are special military units that may not be manufactured on demand, do not require the use of oil, nor lower a countries' readiness when deployed.

Missiles are developed by chance and one of any, or all types may be awarded during any turn played. It is entirely possible to develop 1 of each kind of missile during a single turn.

The likelihood of the development of missiles can be increased with investing in Warfare Technology or by spending bonus points in luck.

The maximum number of missiles a country can have is 1 for every 250 acres or 10, whichever is greater. For example, if a country has 4000 acres and 16 missiles, it will be unable to produce more missiles until it gains 250 more acres or fires off at least one missile. On the other hand, a country with 100 acres can produce up to 10 missiles before reaching the limit.

There are three missile types used;

Nuclear Missile - Abbreviated NM - Used primarily to destroy land.

Chemical Missile - Abbreviated CM - Used primarily to kill population, and destroy buildings.

Cruise Missile - Abbreviated EM - Used primarily to destroy military units.
