NukeZone’s Speed Round 17 will be a last-man-standing competition. There will be no awards for points or networth, only for staying alive (or making sure others don’t)! To increase the difficulty, there will be no defense buildings available and you will be limited to a maximum of 1000 buildings. For the first 6 days, all normal rules of engagement apply, except for a 10% morale penalty for attacks outside of clan wars. On the start of day 7, all inactive accounts and anyone who has previously died will be automatically killed and remain dead for the last two days of the round. The networth attack restrictions will be lifted, as will the out-of-war morale penalty.
Changes
* Clan sized changed to 10 (increased from 8).
* Networth attack restrictions will not apply starting Day 7 (Friday).
* Starting Day 7, once you die, you stay dead for the remainder of the round.
* If you have previously been killed during the round, on Day 7, your account will automatically be killed.
* Out-of-war attacks costs an additional 10% morale (reduced from 15%), and starting Day 7, out-of-war attacks no longer cost any additional morale.
* Starting Day 7, kills will show up as a global event for all players, regardless of who makes the kill.
* All Defense Buildings have been removed, including Anti Missile Systems.
* Forced Nuke Protection time has been changed to 2 hours (reduced from 4 hours).
* Total Nuke Protection time has been changed to 6 hours (reduced from 12 hours).
* Missile Technology now caps at 85% accuracy (reduced from 100%).
* Default market shipping time is now 3 hours (reduced from 6 hours).
* There is now a building limit of 1,000 buildings, after which you will not be able to build additional buildings (if you demolish or have buildings destroyed, you will once again be able to build new buildings).
* The forced peace period between wars is now 18 hours (reduced from 48 hours), after which you will be able to declare war on the same clan again.
* Clan bonuses are now auto received after 24 hours (reduced from 36 hours).
* Ability to change your Province Name before and during the round (previously only before the round started).
* 3 rounds Gold User membership will be awarded to the province with the most kills who is still alive at the end of the round. In the event of a tie, the first tie breaker will be total buildings destroyed, and the second tie breaker will be the total networth.
* 1 Speed Round Pass will be awarded to each member of the clan with the most total kills (during clan wars).
* And much more...

SpeedRound 16 - Points - Zeus
Another Speed Round is behind us, and once again there was a close and exciting battle for the Points Champion award. There were three clans that left the others behind in the dust: Legalize Marijauna NOW (#169), Dragon Rider (#160), and Criminals Gone Fast (#149).
SpeedRound 16 - Networth - Pieter
“Cyber PunkZ” won an exciting Networth competition in SR 16. “Extraordinary Gentlemen” became second and “Rest In Peace” finished third. |
The Portal Staff have interviewed a few of the most competitive, prestigious and interesting medals from last round, and have organized a fantastic collection of viewpoints and interviews for everyone. The Medal of Accomplishment was won by Sono last round, with a MoS and MoH to wrap up that award! MoE was won by Bluesaint against some fierce competition, and the clash among the top provinces for MoG - won by pazzik - was an epic battle royale! Enjoy these articles, plus one special one by Iskariot!
An Ambitious Excursion - Zeus
Medal of Accomplishment R32
I would first like to congratulate SiMpLe Sono (#398451) for being the third winner of the Medal of Accomplishment. For anybody that does not know, the Medal of Accomplishment is awarded as a third medal to the player who wins both the Medal of Superiority and Medal of Honor in the same round! With such competition, especially now with the inclusion of the morale pool, this is no easy task. Read his interview here.
Land to Conquer - Cyberon
Medal of Earth R32
One of my portal tasks is to report on lasts rounds Medal of Earth race. Since I was going after the medal myself it’s a little ironic to interview the winner and other contenders, but hopefully I did it with caliber :D With the modification of the offensive bonus we were in for quite a treat this round, and it really was a nice and exciting race! Read the rest here.
A Clash of Titans - Dream0r
Medal of Growth R32
In this round, there were a lot of potential Medal of Growth winners, although many of them didn’t actually plan to pursue the medal. They happened to meet requirements while the end date came closer every hour. In the start we noticed Nittay (#493686) and his friends in [CeMa]. Later in the round they all got knocked off their throne and we saw [cinas] dominate the race. The conclusion to this here.
Battle Royale - Dream0r
Medal of Courage R32
Round 32 started just like any other round, but this round there were two clans with a very special goal! These two clans went solely for the UA (United Arms) clan award. The only other clan to do this was Fight Club, many rounds ago.
The first clan was the famous Lithuanian clan Rest In Peace [RIP], led by Hunter and Vytenis. At first, they didn’t have a specific person trying for MoC (Medal of Courage), but after a few days, Vytenis had still not lost any morale. It was decided that he would attempt to win the medal... Read the rest here.
President Frib, the NZ CL! - Iskariot
On May 7th Iskariot created a topic about appointing one player to be this communities official president. Some people responded with the usual NZ cynicism, but the overall mood was surprisingly positive. Whoever won in the end would be decided in a poll.
Lots of players announced that they wanted to run for president, but since the amount of slots in a poll is limited to 15 everyone couldn't participate unfortunately.
The 15 people that first announced their interest were therefor selected as possible candidates.
At May 13th, late at night the polls opened. To most people's amazement (including his own) I Am Pikachu (#480695) (gEEk) started off with a huge lead over Frib (#335432), Iskariot (#518204) and FUSKERMAN IS WARMACHINE (#492327). Read how he won it here! |
Golden Shotgun Updates! - P4ssoa
Round 33 has started. All players are still in Nuke Protection, preparing themselves for another intense round of NukeZone. The different clan leaders are already looking out at the other clans with eagle eyes, to see who may be their competitors for their clan goal. Shotgun updates are covered day after day here, read through to see what happened here.
Points and Networth Interviews (R32)
Interviews for both Points and Networth of last round's competition have recently been published by Cyberon & Zeus. Check both of them out here to find out what happened last round in both of those races!
Points Interviews (R32) - Zeus
Networth Interviews (R32) - Cyberon
Interview with the Mommas of NZ! - Equinox
Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world in various ways. With that being said, I hope everyone will enjoy a rather fun interview with the relatively few mothers of NukeZone! Five lovely ladies have taken time to answer an interview, and I want to say thanks for doing it! Saulyte, Angel Greeny, Dreams, Terrorizing Lady, Extreme Chaos and Hathor all had some interesting things to say and I hope you all enjoy their replies :) Read on here!
An Overview of the Changes (R33) - Equinox
Round 33 began with a bang! The round started around 1400 CET on the 5th of May amid many showers here in Ohio. The changes were released early in the morning CET, and contained a few interesting twists! Read what they mean here!
Updated NW Calcs, Awards and Medals - AIKn1
Everyone visit these pages and thank AIKn1 for organizing them - we have an updated list of how unit NW is calculated here, and both the Medals list and Awards list have been updated with last rounds victors!
Medal List
Awards List |
Welcome to Round 33. We wish all of you a successful and exciting round. The following adjustments and changes have been made for your enjoyment. Additional changes may be made during the round.
Changes / Additions

* “Total NW Lost Attacking” statistics added to the status page under Enhanced History (Gold Users only).
* Nuclear Missiles now deal damage to all unit types at once (i.e. damage is no longer split up between infantries and other unit types).
* Spy reports can now be filtered by units and ordered by name/networth/land.
* Individual spy reports (spy, spy plane, spy sat) can now be deleted from the spy report details page.
* A secondary URL has been added to get around blockages at schools and work places (please refer to the General Forum or contact Customer Support for more information on this).

* And much more... |

Check out the NukeZone Round 32 top 10 medal lists! |
About a week ago, NukeZone ELITE was unveiled by EhpeX in the general forum. For days we were curious about what it was, and had absolutely nothing from the "Elite" Administrators on what it could possibly be. Many guesses later, an absolutely incredible feature has been revealed to the community.
Elite, He Wrote. - Equinox
One week ago, EhpeX posted an unusually cryptic and exciting announcement. It was one link, less than 5 words, and a topic FULL of mystery.
EhpeX (#2) wrote:
http://elite.nukezone.nu/
Throughout the day, sardonic hints from Guffy and EhpeX littered the topic. Guffy fired off a threat, “I would so pwn Tony on a 1vs1 any day.” EhpeX shot back “ROFLMAO, then you would wake up from that dream and come back to reality.” Many players guessed what they thought it was, from something so general as a “new NZ game” to “just a hoax.” A few members had it spot on, so congratulations to Dream0r and Timeman :) Read on here! |
SR15 - Points Interviews - Zeus
SR15 stood testimony to an incredible race for Points Gold among three clans, with the distance between representing the success of various strategies. Typhoons and MLRS tanks pounded across battlefields with ever enlarging fronts. Concussions in the distance shake the ground beneath our feet as we look to the three leaders for comments on the last week of warfare..
The top 3 stood as this on the final day:
1. The Simpsons (#113) - 13 006p
2. Death In Excess (#131) - 9 734p
3. SiMpLe (#145) - 8 602p
The three CLs were eager to discuss their tactics for this chaotic points race! Thank you, Nerdlihceparotsekilem, Pride and Zhygis! Read that here.
SR15 - Networth Interviews - Equinox
SR15 witnessed an intense competition for Networth Gold with the advent of a brand new feature – the market!! In addition to the market, we saw all the new Round32 NukeZone units make an appearance in SpeedRound 15 and were used to great effect. Battleships and M1 Abrams rolled over waves and hills, launching shell after shell into their opponents’ bases.
The top 3 stood as this on the final day:
1. Demon Spawn (#122) $7 220 644
2. Dafpheleous na aleigbins (#188) $6 476 642

New Player Training Centres - Murderer
New Player Training Centres are about to be introduced! 3 clans will become ‘training centres’ for new players, so they can benefit the new players with in-game experience and get them into the game without any difficulties.
So far there are 2 CL’s and one more needed, if you feel that you have the patience, knowledge, activity and appropriate manner to lead or help out in one of the NPTCs please send a message to Pappahodge (#12). Each of the clans will be given a free Platinum Clan and a number of other helpful benefits (nothing that in any way will give them an in game advantage of course). Read on here! |
We have quite a few articles for you guys! To begin with, here are a number of articles related to the new round.
NW Calculations (R.32) – AIKn1
This is a list of how NW is calculated and how much they add to your NW. Find that here!
Unit Attack Capabilities (Round 32) – Bosje
The following list contains what each unit can attack in each kind of attack. Units that are placed in square brackets [like this] are idle units and receive 40% damage in normal strength attacks; 60% damage in aggressive strength attacks. Read on here.
Unit Statistics Excel Sheet (R32) – Auggy
Do all those changes get you confused and at the beginning of every NukeZone the round? Well that is no longer needed with this easy to read excel file! All you need to do is look at the unit you wish to use and read across the line top see what units it can attack. Another great resource here.
An Overview of the Changes, R32 – Equinox
For the second round in a row, Guffy has released the changes before the round has begun! This is also a set of some of the most ambitious changes we have seen to date, from Heavy Artilleries and B-2 Stealth Bombers being removed to Golden Growth being lowered, three brand new units and an entirely new meta-game! Read the rest here.
Speed Round #13 “Out of Luck” ended on February 15th, 2009. We had VashTS and Pieter interview the points and NW competitors in these articles.
Points Interviews (SR13) – VashTS
There was heavy competition between Rank #1 and #2 throughout the entire round, but there was a gap between them and Ranks #3 and #4, and the fight for Bronze looked even closer then the fight for Gold! Let's see what the leaders of each clan have to say about the race this round, as well as some other things! Read their replies here.
NW Interviews (SR13) – Pieter
Slaytan for Real (#311683), Clone (#486383) and Comander SG (#383114) lead their SR clan to a top 3 spot in the NW race. I had the pleasure to interview them, and ofc, I’m sharing the answers with y’all. Read what the rest had to say here.
AIKn1 has also updated the Medal List for provinces, and the Awards List for every clan that earned one last round. ">here they are!
Medal List (R32) – AIKn1
Awards List (R32) – AIKn1
Our final few articles include a small article on application for moderation, and Loke’s bid into points in a single-man clan last round.
Just Another Message – Equinox
You have 1 new message in your inbox.
I open it up to see what’s in store, figuring it’s probably one of my clan mates with a question. I see “NZ Crew (#9) – Moderators Needed”. My heart is pumping just a little bit harder and still does when I glance at it; it feels like it’s addressed to me and only me. Of all people, are they really sending me this? Read on ">here.
One Man Mission - Murderer
I was lucky enough to ask L o k e a few questions about his last round (31), the veteran finished #4 MoH with 14 266p, little did you know, he actually achieve this great total in a one man clan.
“I wanted to see how far I could go in points with a decent activity (~16/24) and doing my own work, I had no real goal with it, just a little curious and gave me something to do at work ;)” Read more of Loke's adventurehere.

Welcome to NukeZone round 32. NukeZone is at a point in its history where boredom and stagnancy will not be accepted by its devoted following. We are constantly looking for ways that will keep the community excited and interested. This is a time that will go down in NukeZone lore as being welcomed with open arms. I want to thank Guffy for his tireless dedication and his will to move NukeZone forward and keep it fun for its devoted and new players alike. Round 32 will be a new, fresh start for all those playing or starting to play NukeZone. NukeZone was designed in a manner that people would enjoy, building units, joining clans and attacking people. NukeZone would not be NukeZone if things were changed too drastically. That being said, we do understand that once in a while big changes are required to remove the stagnancy and keep things moving forward to keep the interest of everyone playing, Round 32 is that round. The following changes were made with a ton of effort from Guffy and selected members of CAT and the months of hard work in finding changes, calculating the changes and implementing them into our game. We genuinely hope that you enjoy the new units and the changes made to all the others. Have fun, study hard and happy nuking.

Three great articles about various things in NukeZone, go give them a look!
The Quest for a 5th Consecutive Medal of Courage - Justephen
Before Speedround 13 started I had many comments regarding the accomplishments of earning 4 MoC's in a row. These comments ranged from "Congratulations that is unbelieveable" to "That is a stupid medal and anyone can get it". I certainly appreciated the positive comment I received and thank everyone for them. Read on here.
Werewolf Hysteria - Zedrich
For those who are active (or at least semi-active) in the NZ community may have noticed the growing interest in werewolf games. Many new topics in Off Topic Discussion and a locked/important moderator topic in The Zone show this, plus the topics can be found in the end of the article. To add another bit of werewolf hysteria I decided to write this article.
My NukeZone Career - Lever
I started playing NUKEZONE a little over a year ago. When I first started playing my brother gave me advice to start up to play points. He told me that it was the only really good way to play. He showed me how to research, get units and such; then he told me look at the manual. This is something I still do to this day. Read the rest here. |
