POLL: Do you think the B-52 would be a valuable asset in Civ3?

Actually, I'm working on making an "Atomic Bomb" unit.

This unit will be immobile, and can only be loaded onto bomber aircraft (or maybe even fighters if you consider the B-61 bomb).

It would be flagged with the Airdrop command, same as the paratroopers do. Once it drops from the plane.... BOOOOM!

There's no point in loading it onto a bomber, since the airdrop ability means it doesn't need one. Actually, I turned cruise missiles and tactical nukes into air units, so they rebase to cities instead of moving like land units. I just got tired of my tactical nukes being intercepted and destroyed by spearmen...

Zulu, that is true... I didn't think about that! But you can only airdrop without a military aircraft if you have an airport in your city. What if you captured an enemy city on another continent and there is no airport? Then the bombers would come in handy for a healthy dose of fallout.
