Did the game incorporate some kind of 'button detection' when you try to nuke a group of enemies, they mass teleport right after you tap the nuke button? (In my very kind words, it's 'similar' to arcade style fighting game AI cheat - press light kick and Ryu may perform Shoryuken instantly).
If I nuke right after they teleport, they can repeat the same feat again. It no longer seems to be a coincidence or timing problem to me.
I know this is similar to Gulaemon. But at least that was the enemy's description: to hop if player troops appear in front of them. I don't think 'nuke' would appear in the teleporter guy's description.
As much as I love good AI, this is not the type I'm looking for
