Tactical nuke should be free

As title says. Terran is risking very expensive and hard to make ghosts already. Adding cost and long build time to nuke is clearly overkill.

Ghosts are hard to make? I make them every game. One of my favorite units. Try again.

No. But I do wonder how it would affect things if they were 50/50 or 75/75. I honestly don’t think it would make a huge difference.

Nukes are already the largest radius, most powerful spell in the game, but they are also the only one you have to pay for every time you build it, and the only one which has a 15 second cast time. Furthermore, there the only one which can consume 100/100 without ever actually doing any damage.

That’s the equivalent of a protoss “honestly” thinking that Disruptor CD from 21 to 15 sec won’t make a huge difference.
To use a more appropriate exam[ple Reaver Scarab to go from 5 mineral to 2-3 mineral.
Honestly.

It really isnt, because the time it takes to drop doesn’t change at all.

The balancing of nukes isnt the cost - with the early game being the exception - its the time it takes to find where the nuke is landing. As I said, it takes 15 seconds to drop. And it still takes a factory to produce the nuke, and for every nuke you want to launch at the same time, you need an additional ghost academy.

So realistically speaking, it wouldn’t make mich of a difference at all. Defending it doesn’t change, and the strength of nukes doesn’t get buffed. It just chews less into your bank.

Unlike reavers, you can’t store multiple charges of nukes in one ghost academy. They also take a reasonable amount of time to produce, so you couldnt really fire them rapid-fire without multiple nuke silos, which gets expensive really quickly.

If anything, a nuke is the equivalent of a gigantic baneling.

Good idea! Just change ‘Scan’ to ‘Nuke’. It’s better. I think. Use terran base spell ‘nuke’ by energy rather than ghost.

Why do you like playing Gandhi so much in civilization 6.

Partially true. The balancing is mainly on the time it requires to land, but is not exclusively on that. Basically you are asking to reduce the amount (Nuke-cost) of commitment. A semi-intelligent terran knows already how to make Nukes work. I suspect that OP is just another Avilo account.
If we accept at face-value (I don’t) the gigantic-baneling analogy, would you be equally enthusiastic of a hypothetical Stretch/Ace proposal to make Banelings free/cheaper?

Its funny how many ppl didnt notice. It even got taken down for mod review. Mod noticed. Ill give you all one question: Did you notice?

Notice what. Are you telling me that for lack of credible arguments you are trying to ban me?
What a surprise.

Well, thats one down.

Next one?

Actually, It’s real a big surprise. I couldn’t stop laughing.
What will happen…emmm…can’t stop laughing…

2 down.

Well, I do suspect only people who didnt comment would see.

Yea, not only abuses the Report function but comes spontaneously and proudly confess…
Imagine a felon in front of his investigators:
Mr. Felon it is true that you are responsible for the burglary at John’s house?
No, Mr Investigator, i am not, because i was busy yesterday night with arson and was murdering Mr. Jo, Mr, Ben and Ms. Jane…

Avilo has the most impressive series of nukes that I have ever seen. Guess that makes your statement void.

But in co-op mission. It achieved. Oppoent has many many tactical nukes and all of them are free. And it’s really fun when I see my partner main force army get ruined by free nuke…(snicker).
‘OK, no problem, let me help you, I’m grandmaster,calm down, I can help you.’

And I can’t type the text:
Hey!!!Hey!!! Your main force army!!! Your main force army!!!dude!!! focus!!!

Because after I type these, they are runied by free nukes. I even know what he is doing in that time from strategy map. I can see what he is watching in strategy map.
