Two ideas I had today.

1: Turn the world into a radioactive wasteland.

I was reading about nuclear weapons causing fallout, which negatively affects food production. I wonder if it would be possible to set off enough warheads to render Orbis unarable.

It would take just over 80 nukes per continent to do the job. Apparently it has happened in the past to the point that hoarding/scalping food became a CB.

I'm fighting a Golden Horde shitter who isn't even putting up a fight except for a lone missile. In the clan's page it says that members will fight to the very last and are unconcerned with their cities/infrastructure. It sounds to me that this guy is more concerned with playing SimCity rather than going balls out on war, which seems like a violation of Golden Horde's member rules.

Fighting Pacifists attacked us first, unprovoked save we're on opposite sides of the war.

560 nukes plus a buffer? Seems reasonable. We could even have a 'launch party' in Discord....

So, documenting the math:

Food production is reduced by a percentage equal to radiation/1000. In other words, at 1000R, food can no longer grow (assuming no cap)

A nuke produces 5 radiation on the continent where it detonated, and 1 radiation on all other continents.

So, 200 nukes will sterilize a single continent completely, but only irradiate other continents to 80% production.

91 nukes on a single continent produces 455R, and 91R on other continents. If we nuked all continents save one in similar fashion, the last continent would have 546R on it: finishing the job gives us 455+546=1001R on all continents: sterilizing the entire world.

So a radiation-free world requires 91*7=637 nukes to completely sterilize the world. However, the reality is that pubs love to nuke, so we could potentially pull it off with far less.

It is not clear from documentation if the nukes individually decay or if the radiation index is just flat-subtracted each turn. It it's the first, all our nukes will be completely decayed in 8 days. If it's the second, then it will take far longer (13 years) to completely decay.

It could be an effective way to manipulate the food market for maximum profit, especially if the nuke decay is calculated per nuke, since we can pump and dump quickly. If the decay is calculated overall, it won't matter, because the game will be over.

Raiding income as a twin is actually the most you’ll probably ever make as a raider but given how long it takes to grow after 10 I’m glad I jumped on the fast track to tweens.
