Deploy from reserve
Return 1–3 of your own tokens from your off-board supply onto regions where you already have units. Each return earns one move. Your city starts with 4 units; your supply starts with 21.
Total conversion of the hostage mechanic. Start with your own tokens in reserve and recruit by returning them to occupied regions. Enemy hostages only arrive once combat starts.
Return 1–3 of your own tokens from your off-board supply onto regions where you already have units. Each return earns one move. Your city starts with 4 units; your supply starts with 21.
The only way to get hostages is to capture them mid-game. Win combat with excess strength and take enemy units into your supply for future turns.
Your own supply tokens fuel early expansion. Enemy hostages, once captured, fuel rapid strikes. Both follow the same return-to-move mechanic but come from different places.
Bases, isotopes, nuclear strikes, and Meltdowns all work identically to standard Nukes. Siege changes how you get there, not what you're fighting over.
Standard Nukes hands you leverage from turn one. Siege makes you earn it. The hostage economy still runs — you just have to build the supply yourself before you can spend it.
This mod requires the base game. All standard Nukes rules apply underneath.
