atomic war and dissent

[ImperialLegend]

Three Questions
first, where in the game file is the data for nuclear bombs
second, how would I change the information so every time a country used the bomb they gain 10% dissent and the victim gained 20% dissent and
third, has someone already did this and is a mod available
I want to do this trying to make the use of atomic weapons more pentalizing for contries to use

If you mean the nuclear techs, it would be in db/techs. If you mean the delivery systems (missles and rockets), that would be in db/units. Bombers are also a delivery system, BTW.

I am almost 100% sure that it can't be coded to add 10% dissent every time the bomb is used. The best you can expect is to find a 10% dissent event, and apply the penalty yourself with F12.

You could just disable them, that's what I would do...if my games every made it to 1944, and they became a viable strategy.

Is this a good idea?

If you´re playing as germany you will hit by up to six atomic bombs from the US, if you don´t have a strong fighter force to shot down their bombers. In one game the US nukes Kopenhagen, Paris, Brüssel, Hannover, Berlin and Strasbourg. That means 50% Dissent for the US, but AFAIK the ai won´t suffer any penalty by dissent and I get 120% dissent, which means germany is not longer playable. Or you have to annex the US before 1945, which I was never able to manage.....
I think i 1945 the world has seen so much bloodiness that no one would be upset for the use of atomic bombs. For example: The US people lieked the idea of ending the war with those bombs. It sounds better than invading Japan and fighting their army in their homeland to the death with thousand of dead american soldiers. And the japanese people didn´t know what was going on, because they had no freedom of press. And think about the bombings on Dresden and Tokyo: There were much more dead and wounded by these conventionel bombings and no one thinks on revolting against the own government.
These are only my two cents on this....

the reason I say this if someone drops 6 atomic bombs on you game over in two was all it took for Japan and dissent if the US used bombs there would be some peace protests after all Eienstien himself wonder what horror they had unleased. And the US thought the bombs where a great idea when only they had them. then cubian missle crisis, cold war,thoughts of korea escalating into atomic war the bomb is a bad thing

Exactly a long term effect, but no short term. The war ended every body was chipper so to speak. What you can do if you feel this is such a problem is script an event to add dissent to the countries when they drop bombs.
