Is there a cell limit for nuke damage in red alert?

Hi.

I've looked all over but can't find a solid answer. Is there a max cell limit for the nuke damage range? Been trying to create a "tsar bomba" style badger dropped nuke, but damage radius doesn't get bigger on testing.

Also, why are my rules.ini changes working on campaign but not skirmish?

OK so I solved the skirmish rules.ini issue, I had a mod active that needs any changes placed in a separate skirmish.ini file in the mod folder, but still no luck altering the nuke radius, just its damage.

Spread is broken (or else does something very different from what it's supposed to do); there is no way to noticeably increase damage radius on a warhead prior to RA2's CellSpread option.

The nuke doesn't use normal spread rules; it has a footprint defined in the game, using the same system used to define building footprints.

Thanks for the replies guys, so I guess range increase is a no go.

Of course it's possible. We have the source code. Anything is possible.

But not just through some rules.ini tweaks, no.

What about putting missile silo Nike on campaign? I've heard it takes some serious tweaking or cant be done at all.
