Being Nuked

[Solver]

Has the AI ever used Nuclear Weapons on you? I quite often can see it building Nukes, if AI gets the tech, but in my 1.5 weeks of CtP II, I haven't been Nuked a single time.
Is there any chance, or if not, it also means that Anti-Ballistic Missiles are useless.

No, never been nuked either. But having that wonder that destroys nukes for most of the 2 weeks I've been playing may have something to do with it.

Will see if at "very hard" with diplofrenzy makes any difference.

Drop a couple of nukes on them and watch them launch a crazy ass barrage back at you. I've been nuked and when it was done the world had gone mad, and I had little to no units left and was destroyed by barbarians, as sad as that sounds

You just have to piss them off a little bit. From what I gather of the frenzy mod the AI will use nukes on a first strike attack. Haven't had that yet since I changed to frenzy but it will come I can forsee it

[Solver]

Omni, what difficult level was it? I wanna be nuked!

That was on impossible (or as my game says Deity). I don't play much on the other levels but with the mods now it's getting tougher to stay somewhere in the top 3 at the end of the game.

Weird, I know, but I want to get that feeling when the AI uses the nuclear weapon on me.
And, refrasion should be: Ils sont foux les Judensis!

Ah, another expat!

I thought I'd made a rubbish choice when I moved to Scotland...

Yep, those bastards nuked me. Once. The entire city disappeared! But it's their loss.. it was one of their own cities that I'd just captured. Wahahaha! :-)

I retaliated by nano-cleansing every single city!

I wonder, then, with Diplomod also installed would it initiate discussion to try and reduce nuclear weaponry?

After all, that's why we have nuclear weapons--to deter war. Without them we'd probably all be at war right now.

Another question on nukes that my current game throws up: Starting with 6 civs on "Very Hard" it's now reduced to 4 (hard on the way to being reduced to 3).

I now have the advance needed to build nukes, nukes appear in my build list, and I could build some in 1 turn (rushbuy). Will this help me in my diplomatic negotiations? Or inspire fear so civs I'm at war with come groveling for peace? Do I have to have actual warheads or just the technology?

My experience is that thretening to destroy their cities when you have nukes works better. Or perhaps that was because I already owned 75% of the world

Just get the dissassembler for taking a look at the AI script, just as I did.

Dissassembler? Please explain! I've looked at a lot of the text files detailing AI input but I don't know of a dissassembler. Does it deal with SLC files?

Thanks!
