At a crossroad & need some help

[moof]

Deity, raging hordes, 7 civs, playing peaceful

this was a great map & been playing this game for a long time.

So far have never attacked first but once attacked never stopped till the senate overruled.

Also never willingly signed anything the AI offered.

Now one A.I. has the nukes but has yet to use them.

Here is where the help is needed. It would be nice to finish out the game peaceful but there is concerned that the nuke civ will finally attack.

all cities in the moof civ have SDI & AA & the Full size space ship is ready to launch so that just before any civ gets a ship ready to go it will do no good as moof spaceship will just launch soon enough to win. The orginal plan was to see how good a score could be obtained with only 16 cities as that is the self imposed limit on all moof games for comparison purposes. Right now the other civs could all be wiped out in a few turns but the 16 cities are not full size yet besides the fact that some cities would be gained in the wars. Is this a waste of time. That is will moof finally have to go to war against attacks from the other civs as they attack or is there any way to race them to the finish in the spaceship mode without them attacking with so many nukes the global warming takes effect ? moof has the U.N. but don't want to constantly contact the other civs & make them offer peace. Is there any way to apease the AI while the moof sweet sixteen are taken to their natural limits or is putting off destroying them all but a pet just a matter of time?

Contact the nuke civ (the UN will help reduce the attack threat) - trade trade trade to keep them sweet.

If all your cities have SDI then the nuke threat is redundant anyway as the nukes will be intercepted without causing pollution / global warming. You could also give nuke techs to all other civs - if all civs have it the threat of all out nuclear war is reduced (at least in my games it appears so).

Good luck
