RE: WMD in MC; negative values - Glenn Saunders - 01-01-2010 I didn't realize that you were playing or working on an AI Scn with the WMD Rules. I think when we started making revised rules we had to add some AI programing so that NATO would respond when the WP used WMD. The AI is really not up for judgement on first strikes nor would it be up for deciding if a VP penalty would be worth the effort. Glenn RE: WMD in MC; negative values - Hans Boersma - 01-01-2010 Working on it and doing some playtesting. What I propose is simply that by entering negative values in the editor a side can have first use in nukes and no first use in chems. Or the other way around. No need for any AI deciding. Same for the (loose) VP idea; fire a nuke, you pay 100 points "political cost".

Editor being Scn editor? That is a file format change which is not a little change. > Same for the (loose) VP idea; fire a nuke, you pay 100 points "political cost". The problem with this is 100 points in a small scn might work but in a big CG it is nothing. So picking a could be easy, but making a single value work for a short scn where 500 points is a major would work but would be insignificant in the langer, larger CGs. So there is no way to pick a nice value for this.
