atomant?...yeah, that was probably a silly atempt to make a joke ...the AI doing a serious attack we wouldn't expect? on our Capital?
The 1 in a googolplex chance that something like that could happen even in an imaginairy world...our next step would most probably be whipping them out accidentaly
If the Japanese would keep annoying us and we take over their empire the minimum distance between an enemy city and our capital would at least double...not even an AI-nuke could cross such a distance(way to many other cities to attack...

Maybe I've been playing too many OCC's lately but:

NO Manhattan Project.

We don't need nukes.
We don't want to spend precious $$ on SDI's

NO Women's Suffrage.
AFAIK, we have a decent city base,
and if we need more, we have room to build our own
cities. No need to pound annoying enemies with units
homed from our cities.

NO to UN. Our security lies in 40+ Riflemen-in-training.
The AI won't sue for peace if we start taking a large lead.

YES to CfC- helps for WLtPD on Diety.
Corporation and Medicine allows CfC, as we are
already researching Medicine, we can get this quite
early to be of real benefit in the space race.

YES to all the others.
Order of importance.
SETI (Faster tech research)
HD (Great productivity bonus)
Apollo (Necessary)

BUT- if we are going for points-
BUILD ALL WONDERS

Generally I play for conquest, hence I go for Manhattan as long as I'm enough techs ahead so that no-one else can build Nukes, then erase them from the planet in a Nuclear Holocaust (subtlety just ain't me!).

I have played like this many times (makes for great fun and quite the stress reliever ) Unfortunatly we are not that far ahead in tech and the civ right behind us would love to nuke us into obliivian.

Plus, we are playing a defensive game. We learned in the last one that it is too easy to conquer the world.

[atawa]

If we want a strategic missile program we need Sheakespeare theatre or we have to re-home all our nukes every turn to keep the gouverment from falling.

Celts arent that far behind and might build Manhatten

[-Jrabbit]

We will find the Celts long before then, and any Manhatten Project they start will be sabotaged by our spies!

[James Adams]

I think we need Apollo, Un, Seti and Hover Dam!

In that case I agree, avoid Manhattan, but start building a Wonder well in advance of Electronics becoming available, then switch to Hoover as soon as we've discovered it.

I'll just have to live with the stress and high blood pressure.
