Just a thought to simulate the WW2 'Little Boy' and 'Fat Man' deployment by one pre-eminent nation in epic C3C. Make the MP available mid to late industrial and have it produce a reduced capability (eg: range) Nuke every X turns.

Then the builder gets the leap on Nuclear Warfare until standard Nukes become available in the Modern Age. At least there'd be some benefit to building it yourself.

You could even rush it with a Oppenheimer Scientific Leader ;)

i just changed the project to a small wonder..that way each civ has to make that before he wants nukes.... its more realistic than just giving everyone nuke capability when some other civ builds it.

But then the first player to build the small wonder still allows EVERYONE to build nukes.
I'm sure we've discussed this before . . . :confused:

The 'tag' remains the same whether its attached to a small or great wonder.

That's a really good idea Tacit_Exit, esp since we've got that new animation for the atom bomb. I thought about doing the same thing with Stealth technology. One nation could build a Wonder ("Skunkworks" or "Area 51" or whatever...) that would give them Stealth Fighters and Bombers before everyone else later had the ability to build them.

papajohns, I've heard the same thing (that an MP small wonder gives the nuclear ability to all civs) though I've not tested it in game. Maybe an alternative would be a small wonder that produced nuclear missiles. It would be available to all civs but would be extremely expensive and would require two or three resources.
