Chieftain
So with BNW I have moved up to emperor difficulty level and I am pretty late in the game. I'm ranked second in military power (a huge fleet on an archipelago map) and I'm going for a domination victory as Indonesia. There are only two capitals left, the other two civs to have gone order in addition to myself. I have never been to the point where an AI had nuclear weapons and I wanted to attack them, I can see Babylon has 4 atomic bombs. I have the tech but no uranium to build atomic weapons of my own.
Question: How likely is it that Babylon will use his nuclear weapons on me if I attack? I suppose I can spread my battleships out so all don't get lost with a single strike but should I attack now or try to go after the only other non-atomic power left and come back later for babylon with my own atomic weapons?
Update...
I rolled the dice hoping Babylon wouldn't nuke my fleet... and he didn't. I was able to wear down Babylon itself with my 7 or so battleships in about 6-7 turns (it had about 150 defense) and was able to take it quite easily with a destroyer.
Before I declared war on Nebby though I bought all the uranium Monty had, gave up quite a bit but it didn't break my back. Proceeded to build nukes in my home cities. After taking Babylon Nebby asked for peace and I quickly granted it, then started moving my fleet into position against Monty. About 5 turns later my nukes are on a carrier. 3 turns later Monty's capital is mine.
Game Over.
