As I was writing about the Missile Defence Shield topic, I had an idea. It's only minor, but the problem's been brought up before: how can you build nukes with no uranium?
I've suggested before that a civ would need to have access to uranium as a trading commodity in a city somewhere before being able to build nukes. Well, maybe the player has to actually mine (as in build a normal mine with an engineer) the square/s with the uranium (which would be a special resource like the wheat/whale). Then the player would need to set a person to work on the square, and all the square would produce would be some uranium, minerals, but no nutrients (genetically modified food, anyone?).
This minor idea might sound complicated, but it wouldn't be too much micromanagement as it'll only need to be done once.
It'll really spice up the game cause it'll place greater value on SDI and having a missile defence shield, if your civ can't build nukes. It'll also make the uranium-rich areas of the map very valuable, with nearby cities perhaps more sought after than capitals.

No, in Australia we don't live with kangaroos and koalas in our backyards...
