It was not a very big urge...

Having never really played modern warfare I would be interested in the opinions of those who have. None of the remaining civs seem to have a military victory goal, is it simply not feasible? Are these empires simply too big? Too much of a tech parity? Do nukes make conventional warfare more difficult?
If someone thinks a military victory is possible from the current situation, who could do it and how? Or who should/could have done it and how?

I guess if you could acquire a monopoly on nukes conquest would be possible. Broker seems to have made good use of them to fend off Elkad's invasion.
How many hammers is a Tac Nuke? Seems like two hits with a tac nuke will take out any city? 2x tac nuke, then move in with paratroopers and raze the city.

Only if the city has no Bomb-shelters.

Looks like the game might be coming to an end.

I just talked to Alex and he only feels bad aout Elkad, so is going to try and chat with him in the next 2 hours or so and if he doesn't hear from him, going to vote for me.
Interesting to note that Rego, Sunrise and Elkad are just 24 votes shy of being able to elect a winner. Without the nuking they would probably have had enough. But if Elkad is on the fence while Alex may cast the deciding vote, it is kind of irrelevant.

I find this a fairly appropriate ending to a wacky game  .

Could have been interesting with more modern warfare, but it would have been incredibly time consuming, especially on this huge map. Maybe it's just as well the game ended before it fell apart due to disenchanted players.
Watching a peaceful culture or space victory would have been less interesting, imho.

I disagree with Krill on this one. Is this victory any less ridiculous than one achieved by sweeping the rug out under one player by denying them techs they were expecting to receive, and then nuking them back into the stone age when they can't do anything to counter? Or winning by running the culture slider for a few dozen turns until your cities become Legendary?
While I also dislike the Apostolic Palace, it's been around for centuries in this game - more than long enough for teams to take appropriate counter measures to shield themselves. (The true AP cheese win is landing the first vote taken, when no one else even has a chance to counter-spread the AP religion.) And finally, if regoarrarr can convince 4 out of the 8 teams in this game to vote for him, well deserved win IMO. I think he needs sunrise, Elkad, and Alex to all support him - this isn't one of those "grab your vassal's vote and that's it" elections.
