I haven't seen any discussion on missles, but I think they are an important part of the game to learn some strategy on. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on missle strategy such as the best targets to hit first, or how they are most used effectively.

Make a few silos, use shift x to select them all and make cruise in each one. Hit whatever is useful. Wonders (only takes 3-5 to take out an early age wonder), cities, etc. Usually I use them in conjunction with commandos to reduce cities to get a WG victory. I don't usually bother getting nukes because they take too long to research.

how about selecting all the siege to target at once. same thing, shift + something else?

1 cruise to kill the uni, 1 straight after kills all scholars. 10 cruise = no knowledge income.

That was always my plan. Hit the Hanging Gardens, universities, oil, oil refineries and they're gonna struggle!

I get how 1 cruise will kill the university and then another one after will wipe out the scholars, but I don't see how this 10 cruise killing all of the income works out. At first I figured that it would be 2 cruises per city, 1 for the university in that city and the rest for that city's scholars making the cruises go after five cities, but can't more than 5 cities be built?

Yes, you can rebuild unis or you can have more than 5 unis anyway. But usually 35 scholars are enough to maximise th eknowledge income. That means 5 unis with 7 scholars.
That is why 10 missiles should kill all scholars.

Holy crap, this forum has been dead for almost a year now, and I didn't realize that until after I made my post. Wow, didn't think someone was actually going to respond to me.

I usually make silos and destroy eco buildings like woodcoters camps, farms, graneries, universities, etc
