Yes: 1
No: 1

never crossed my mind to.. i still wouldn't want to give the AI a chance to attack me.

[Ming]

Yes: 1
No: 2

I never build it against the AI... Now, if they are stupid enough to do it

[Mercantile]

yes 1
no 3

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.

[Paul]

yes 1
no 4

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.

[DaveV]

Yes: 1
No: 5

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.

[RNF]

Yes: 2
No: 5

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.

[Hermann the Lombard]

Yes: 3
No: 5

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 . . .

(So, how long until the format gets busted by bad timing?)

[granite00]

Yes: 4
No: 5

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

[Dissident Aggressor]

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.

[Mercantile]

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

[SetuSinger]

yes:6
no:5

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

Because I don't care at all about my score.
