This page describes fallout, and some of its effects.

Fallout is the result of nuclear bombs going off. It is basically
|
|
just radioactive particles that float around in the air.
|
|
|
|
After nuclear blasts, these particles are thrust into the atmosphere,
|
|
and take a long time to dissipate. In addition, these particles
|
|
may spread from sector to sector.
|
|
|
|
When a sector has fallout, during the update, things in that sector
|
|
may die, melt, whatever from the radiation. The way it works is this:
|
|
|
|
1) All sectors that have fallout are checked, and things there are
|
|
affected by the fallout. People die, commodities melt, etc. This
|
|
includes anything on land units and on ships within that sector.
|
|
|
|
2) Next, fallout may spread from sector to sector, depending on the
|
|
amount of fallout in the sector. Note that fallout will spread
|
|
outward from ground zero, in all directions, at a maximum rate of
|
|
1 sector per update.
|
|
|
|
3) Lastly, fallout decays. Any fallout that is left decays. Decay
|
|
usually happens in 1/2 life mode, which means 1/2 the given fallout
|
|
in a sector (after spreading around) dies...
|
|
|
|
Finally, if you are reading this info page, it probably means that
|
|
you are trying to figure out what fallout is going to do to your
|
|
country. Well, good luck, so are we. :)
