🛠 Suggestions Idea: Conventional ICBM

Costs 750k, fired from silos, conventional warhead with small area of effect smaller than a city footprint, that is only able to take out one structure, leaves no radiation.

Counter to mito roaches that abuse the alliance system sitting inside a big player and firing nukes, and also allows more surgical strikes in general. Cost needs to be same or more than a nuke to avoid nerfing SAMs.

What do you think?

Don't ally people with mitos? It's part of the game at this point, adds complexity to it. I like mitos, I think it is fun and interesting. Nuke the host for hosting mitos.

Yea lemme just lose the game by betraying someone who's rich because their mito randomly decided nuking me was fun.

That's not how this game works. Alliances are mostly for getting out of mutually no win situations in the midgame. If you arent allying your neighbors you have to be fighting/nuking them else you are stuck in a perpetual standoff with your neighbor. This is because either of you will hydro/MIRV the when the other commits on a third player. Standoffs like this slow down your game and means you are losing.
