Strategy[]
The Bomb Shelter is the only defense developed against the horrific effects of nukes. In case of a nuclear strike, the Bomb Shelter will save most citizens in the city, although it won't defend any units outside of it.
In Brave New World, all military units in a city with a Bomb Shelter sustain only 25% damage from nukes (-25 HP max), but civilian units caught in the blast radius die regardless.
Civilopedia entry[]
As the name implies, a bomb shelter is a structure designed to withstand damage from bombs and other explosive weapons. While some bomb shelters were meant for protection from aerial bombardment, others were constructed underground in the hopes of surviving a nuclear attack. Depending on the intended purpose of the shelter, various materials could be used, with the most common component being reinforced concrete.
