Nukes should be able to give you diplomatic power and after testing on it should be less likely for an other civ to attack you

Isn't that pretty much the same affect that nukes already have in Civ 3? Well, diplomatic power is minimal, but nukes do increase the power of your military and the AI (sometimes) doesn't attack a stronger civ.

Everyone in the world might hate the US, but it's not because they used nuclear weapons. 
if you start a war and use nukes thats a definate reason to hate you and other civs should get involved.if ur attacked and you use them, other civs should advise you to try and limit their use and if you use them as a last resort other civs should be concerned incase you fire all your payload.
i dont know if this is true for the harder levels in civ 3 as im pretty rubbish so i normally play my games on regent but i cant remember a time ive ever been nuked without firing one first.is this true with the harder levels as well? civ4 should definately incorporate more nuke using by the comps and not just for retaliation.

Actually very few do, but a lot of people disapprove of what the current US administration is doing.douche_bag said:

I don't think there's a place on the planet people make fun of more than Texas.

The big thing they could do to improve nukes is to change the population system from 'pop heads' to real numbers. Then, you could give different units a 'collateral damage' rating to indicate both the chance of hitting civilians AND how many people it kills when that unit hits! This way different types of nukes could be given different 'collateral damage' ratings to determine how powerful they are and/or how useful they are against 'soft targets'.
Lastly, they could better simulate the effects of fallout, on both civilians and units, to determine the very long-term detrimental effects of a nuclear blast!! (For instance, a pollution 'spike' which cannot be cleaned up for at LEAST X turns, added to the increased chance of X civilians dying each turn!)

Nukes should lower the probability that an AI civ attacks you. It should be harder to use nukes in a war (unrest in your pop/ dogpiling on you) if you want to stay close to real life. No nuke were used in a war excep the two against Japan. I wouldn´t miss them in the game.
scary thought that,
those were not nuclar but atomic and look what damage they done. Just imagine if one those things were used today - a whole city of millions of people could be wiped out in seconds. Forget about a bomb missing its targets or troops going crazy and shotting everyone - that's the real Killer, A nuke - Terrifying really, if you think about it. Some many people - women, chidlren - men, no matter what their crimes or beliefs, all dead in the same instant, and for the survivors more agony and pain then anyone could probably imagine.
Chills me to the bone it does . . .

Hey people
there are several types of nukes and atomic bombs and many more types of payloads for bombers and rockets/missiles as well.
1. I wonder why we can not use atomic/nuclear bombs from conventional bombers? Those in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were dropped from a propeller-driven B-29.
2. there should be neutron payloads, mini-nuke payloads, biologic payloads, chemical payloads and conventional payloads as well.
So, this ABC weapons part of the game should be much more sophisticated.

Sorry about messing up nukes and atomic bombs, its the language barrier. So nukes are actually H-bombs? Please correct me if I´m wrong or tell me the difference.
h-bombs are hydrogen and im not sure but i believe they were developed after the atomic to mkae way for stronger payloads atomic couldnt reach.these finally lead to nuclear capabilities in the 60's/70's.neutron bombs destroy all life but leave buildings more or less intact - the perfect way to take a massive city and stil be able to use it for your own purposes.one was used on the simpsons if anyone watches it
