        Keep on Civin'

          i build it as soon as possible, just in case i wish to plant a nuke with my freights, kind of like a gift with a blast Don't you know you should never accept gifts from strangers.

            I have no use for nukes; I usually go for an AC victory and even if I go for a conquest win howies will do the job just fine.

              I haven't seen a nuke unit since my Civ 1 days. And I'd like to keep it that way. To paraphrase Paul, howies and bombers are more than enough to take out the AI.

                I'll build Manhattan Project right at the end, unless there's another civilization around that I have security concerns about, just to pick up the extra points for the wonder on my Civilization score.

                  My answer is like RNF's. If I'm preserving an AI city or two as a "reservation" and their tech is no threat, I'll build it for the Wonder and the points. Other than that, I have no use for it.

                  Yes, of COURSE I had to try it out in one game, and that was against a truly threatening enemy. Ya know, that siren was kinda chilling . . .

                    I build it one turn before AC landing which prevents the AI from using them against me.

                      yes you got my strategy exactly. unless the ai builds it, then I just conquer it. I always conquer all cities but 1.

                      yes: 5
                      no: 5

                      why would you not build it? it is free points.

                        The outcome against the ai is moot each time, why not build it as early as possible makes the game more entertaining if i have to deal with a possible nuke threat as well

                          Yes, I'm building the manhattan project. Sometimes I really get angry with my enemies because they did something really bad to me (for example killing one of my settler units) and then I love it to punish them with a massive nuke-attack
