Tactial Nukes and ICBMs also require Aluminum.

Tactial Nukes needs the tech: Space Flight
ICBMs needs the tech: Satellites

Gumby is right, and you don't have to yell.

Also note that the use of nukes is really bad for Ai attidude and may result in declaraions of war. Also nukes are expensive.

But very effective, especially if you like deserts and the colour orange.

Of course the Manhattan Project has to be built(by you or another civ) as well.

Yep, there are those pesky techs and resources for nukes.

Nukes are not very cost-effective. It will hurt, but not nearly enough to justify the rep and pollution hit. Build a bunch of troops and deliver that to their doorstep to really make them squirm. Nothing else gives that gratuitous earth-shaking pummel, though.

I never build Manhattan, but use ICBM's for SS pre-builds if someone else builds it.

In Civ2 you had the delay from launch to SS victory in which nukes were a convienient to keep from getting wiped off the map.

@ Padma: Hmmm, I was obviously a bit hasty on the reply...

Regarding nukes: I find they are most useful when invading a large AI controlled continent. From my experience, the AI will tend to send a massive SOD of close to 100 units. Then its nuke time
