Just won a Culture Victory as Washington, Turn 300 Immortal. Gandhi was the first to build the Manhattan Project, almost immediately after which he became hostile - we had been friends the entire game, same ideology, and recently signed a Defensive Pact. I was happy to see stereotypical Gandhi come out with nukes. I noticed the 'Gandhi's words are backed by nuclear weapons!' modifier, was this also in vanilla or from VP?
Anyways, he declares war, after which I rush to atomic bombs to have some fun as I am about to start Citizen Earth Protocol. I get a bomb in range just in time to nuke him with 1 turn left from victory, after which he....offers peace?
VP is clearly terrible and does nothing to improve the AI. /s
I had a very fun playthrough, VP was my favorite civ experience when I last played years ago and it's even better now. I will admit I was a tad disappointed not to get nuked back at the end there.
