I mean when targeting your own territory? Last game I vaporised Ragnar's SOD by two tactical nukes, but I am not sure if it's just the evasive ability of tactical nukes or maybe it's ok to nuke your own land? If so maybe tactical nukes based in your cities is the ultimate defensive weapon.
Does the SDI work when nuking yourself?

He means enemy troops inside your borders. And to the original poster, I don't know, I've never played with nukes before and haven't had the chance to build tactical nukes yet. I imagine that your SDI wouldn't defend their troops though and it wouldn't defend against your own nukes. I'm not sure what happens if an AI friend launches nukes against an AI stack that's at war with you AND in your territory. It should count as one of your nukes, thus your SDI should not activate, but I'm not sure.

It is a valid question ( the SDI protects our territory or our units? It says territory in the pedia, but in CivIII it protected our units....). I've never been nuked when having SDI, so I can't give a awnser...

As far as I understand nukes in general to work (unless they changed it in BtS and didnt tell anyone) is that you cannot launch a nuke at any square in which the square and the 8 "sorrounding" squares would have friendly units or territory on them. Friendly being anyone you are not at war with. Now, I've not experimented with tactictal nukes as of yet, but this is how I understood ICBMs to work.
