Nukes are armies made of single type of unit. This can includes catapults(in revolt worlds or cities with walls) or not(in conquest worlds). You'll usually bring 3500 of your population to make your army, but +-1230 pop are from your naval units(including CS).
Effectiveness
People train different numbers of Swordsmen, Archers. Hoplites and Chariots, and it may be to say which nuke will always be the most effective one - it has to be calculated for each individual defense.
Even though you can use espionage or check his walls.
After you find out the kind of DLU the player has, you choose the best nuke to that city. If you're not used to it, check the simulator with all your nukes.
The next step is assign the right hero to your nuke:
Medea for slingers nuke.
Ajax for hoplites nuke.
Lysippe for horsemen nuke.
Zuretha for LS nuke.
Urephon for mythical nuke.
And try to hit your enemies, when your army is full, because you'll take less risks and you'll be able to rebuild your army faster. If the defender loses, you will lost less units than attacking with a half nuke.
Time to rebuild your army
One thing very important to be considered is the time you'll spend to rebuild your army. The quicker you rebuild them the less time your enemies will have to recover their DLU and walls.
Fastest to slowest nuke production:
- Hoplites with Chiron. This hero is amazing good, without him Ajax is useless. I recommend to start building your hop nukes, when you get Chiron. Don't forget to cast Pop growth.
- Slingers. They are the cheapest OLU in the game with no heroes assigned. Don't forget to cast Pop growth.
- Horsemen. They take time to be rebuild, but you can easiky farm with them. Don't forget to cast Pop growth.
- LS with Aristotle. Zuretha is useless without him, because her buff is slower than his buff. The best way to build your LS is sending your resources to one sigle city. Once you complete the queue of the harbor, you move your hero to another LS city. Don't forget to cast Call of the Ocean.
- MOU(harpies, manticores and griffins). The hardest nuke to be build and the only effective way to get them is farming favor from inactives. Make sure to send your MOU, after a OLU(escorted by a CS nuke), unless you know the city don't have troops.
This all depends of your style and the population available, but I'll show a example of a 8796 points OLU city(revolt or conquest, very agressive style) with the following constructions. If you want you can build a wall 20 and get the Tower, then demolish the wall. Population available (3540):
- Senate 15
- Production Camps level 30
- Farm 45
- Warehouse 35
- Barracks 15
- Temple 5
- Market 15
- Harbor 10
- Academy 30
- City Wall 1
- Cave 10
- Thermal Baths
I'll use the "magical number" for LS. I always like to keep 39 LS in all my OLU cities, so I can sen a CS without the risk of Sea Storm.
The city has thermal baths and plow and I'm not considereing any kind of spell.
39LS = 390 pop
3555 - 390 = 3165
3165 - 7 - 8= 3150, 1 transport boat and 1 fire ship as anchors.
Now divide per 21, because each FTS have 5 FS and they can carry 16FS:
3150 / 21 = 150 FTS
150 x 5 = 750
3150 - 750 = 2400
2400 is the population available for OLU.
20 cats = 300
OLU = 2400 - 300 =2100 slingers/horsemen/hoplites

CS city(revolt and conquest, you must be a sniper)
A 8796 points OLU city with the CS. Population available (3547):
- Senate 15
- Production Camps level 30
- Farm 45
- Warehouse 35
- Barracks 15
- Temple 5
- Market 15

- Cave 10
- Thermal Baths
39LS = 390 pop
3555 - 390 = 3156
3165 - 7 - 8 = 3150
Now divide per 21, because each FTS have 5 FS and they can carry 16FS:
3150 / 21 = 150 FTS
150 x 5 = 750
3150 - 750 = 2400
2400 is the population available for OLU and CS. I don't like the idea in destroying FTS, just to make more troops, because you will constantly change your CS cities and it's not everyday you conquer a city, right?
20 cats = 300
OLU = 2400 - 300 - 170 = 1930 slingers/horsemen/hoplites
PS: You can change the composition according to your preferences.
