This doesn't take topography into account. I suspect that would be fairly important for some cities like San Francisco.

I really hope this isn't an Ender's Game kind of thing...

In case anyone misses it (took me a bit to find), there is a weapon selector under the bottom left edge of the map to choose different sizes of nukes.

It looks bad, but not as bad as I always imagined.

It's hard to compare the magnitude of each bomb because it keeps changing the zoom level every time I click 'Nuke it!' again.<p>edit: also, why is the fallout so distorted when changing wind directions between east/west and north/south?

Tsar Bomba is my favorite. Is the developer making a political statement by defaulting the map to D.C.?

Remember, with all of the smaller nukes, you're suppose to get smothered by like 8 warheads at the minimum. Well, says the Cold War anyways.

I think it would hot and windy. And a bit noisy as well.
