In my current game, just by sheer coincidence, I saved approximately 8 turns before Boudica finished The Manhatten Project.
I have never really used nuclear weapons before, but I figured that since I had a save game, I could "experiment" with ICBM's and Tactical Nukes. Hannibal was my closest neighbor that I don't have Friendly relations with, so he was selected to be the guinea pig.
Popped off a couple ICBM's at his largest population cities and within a few turns I was invading his continent (Hemisphere map, random number of continents) and taking cities left and right. That's when I started getting 2 or 3 "Global Warming strikes near xxxxx" notifications per turn. In total, I lost maybe 12 tiles, 1 was an aluminum mine and the other was an oil tile. I have multiples of those resources, but I founded Mining Inc. So every little bit helps.
Does the Global Warming only affect the nation that launches the nuke or is it truly random?
Does the number of Global Warming events correlate with the number of nukes launched?
I ask this because I quit with the nukes after I started having mass Global Warming but 15 turns or so later Boudica went nuts launching like 8 nukes in one turn against Wang Kon. I played another 10 or 15 turns and never saw any other notifications.
I'm trying to decide if it would be better to start from the save point and not use nukes, or just tough it out and kill off Hannibal.
