Nuke area command? and maybe some general nuke info

[Calderos]

Is there a way to select multiple nukes and set an area for them to drop in?

For example: select multiple nukes, click the attack command, lay a circle, and have the nukes drop within that circle (equidistant or randomly dropped in the circle).

I've been trying to get this to work, but overall nuke launching seems tough for me, like does a nuke have to target a building or unit. Sometimes i just want to drop inbetween some building for maximized destruction.

Hold shift, click each nuclear silo, go to target, click "attack" on the right-hand bar, click and drag until area you want is selected.

Thanks, sprites, I thought it was that easy but it never happened when I took those same exact steps, that's why I thought I was missing some step. I'll keep on trying.

Yes there is:

-You select one of ur nuke silos, then you press your hotkey for "Select all same units" that you can change in controls
-If one of ur nuke silo is on too far place out from camera you can add it to selection, with holding Ctrl and clicking on it like you want it to select it

-After you selected them all, you press your hotkey "A" for attack, and you click on area where you want to nuke and you hold click
-With holding your click move your mouse and area for nukes to fall will expand tending to cover the area equaly and symetrical.

For example, if you make 30 nuke silos in 1v1 ranked, and you do as I described, you can arheve real skynet planet nuke missle attack and destroy everything on whole planet, in one mouse swing from ground over planet's orbit :)

P.S. these are uber player tips, dont fail me

So, I didn't go all out Skynet yet, I tried with 4 nukes, had pretty good recon on enemy base/comm, was trying to launch them but, after making the attack area the circle disappeared and no nukes launched. It was the first try so maybe with this bit of help I'll get it to work.

Could it be there were no nukes in those silos? You will have to wait until the missiles are all built before launching them.

love nuke area command

Finally got multiple nukes to launch. Killed 2 comms by dropping 4 nukes.
I think it didn't work before because I was try to place the area circle in the pip screen, after I did in the main screen everything launched fine. Loving this game.
