I was playing the Babylon OCC DCL, and a nuclear exchange happened, a first for me so it was quite entertaining.

My people are happier than I would have expected under the circumstances.
I had a few questions about nuclear weapons as a result.
(1) So I was embroiled in a long war with Bismark, which was making victory a less likely outcome by the turn. I wanted to make peace, but he wouldn't deal. I built nuclear weapons, hoping that might change his mind. It did not. If you are already embroiled in a war, do having nuclear weapons make it more likely for peace to occur?
(2) I then started building and launching weapons, hoping that this might bring him to the table. It did not. I got off two or three shots, before he hit me with a nuke, and my chances died along with my range\logistics bazookas and upgraded interceptors. I was reduced to buying and hurling landschnekts one at a time to weaken units. (They died doing this, of course, and a misclick rendered their sacrifices meaningless anyway.) Does using nuclear weapons in a war make peace more likely?
(3) Will fighters that intercept kill themselves intercepting? I hesitated taking the extra intercept promotion, wondering if it would make them more likely to die if fighter sweeps occurred, or even while intercepting bombers. Does the extra interception promotion make fighters dying more likely in any way?
Thanks for any replies!
