...but the AI doesn't react to it.First, you need to dedicate a good amount of production into the Manhattan Project - which will alert opponents to your plan.
...but you can pretty much always get it from another Civ or a city state.Then, you need Uranium, which might not be anywhere near your borders.
...but at the point that you get atomic bombs you don't really care about new cities anyway.Then finally, once you do drop the bomb, you're going to end up with a semi-useless city to capture given the damage it's done.
...but that doesn't matter anymore at that point.Oh, and the world will hate you.

Yes, it's a problem with the AI, but a problem that helps making nukes extremely strong.The AI is badly flawed, that's well known. This is a problem with the AI, not nukes.
Compared to IRL nuclear bombs, they are vastly underpowered.
Well, IRL-Nukes can be intercepted. ^^
But then again they are pretty powerful and overpowered IRL as far as I'm aware
Honnestly, I'm not even sure of that. Since (fortunatly!) they haven't been a real life interception attempted on a nuke, I doubt, even the most advanced country in that technology (USA & Israel come to mind) can say they can realiably 100% intercept any nuke.
If it was 1 single or maybe a dozen I might be possible. But if you consider a full scale nuking wave, over 100 warheads (which is what I consider a CIV nuke representing) then interception is hardly possible in the time being
Well, IRL-Nukes can be intercepted. ^^
That's an interesting article, thanks for sharing. ^^For now anyway As if the world isn't already a dangerous enough place the hypersonic nuke delivery systems are not far off. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news...-race-china-tests-high-speed-missil/?page=all
