Yeah. No matter what you hit of them, you will get declared war by everyone.
I was thinking...if the AI actually makes a SOD, if you nuke it, are all the units in it gone?
Only if you hit them with 3 icbm's. The 1st does half the hit points and the second does half again. This will kill some units, but many will need a third strike.

I had an ai SOD on my border once, so i nuked it, had to use tactical nukes, ICBMs can only target cities, the AI did get mad, but not as mad as if i had nuked a city
best thing was that the strategic defence only protects cities and the ai only nukes cities, so all my nukes hit, decimating their military, but my strategic defence saved a lot of my cities

I am sure I nuked tiles with icbm's. They can target any tile, I am sure I have even hit ships with them. Tactical nukes a very short range and that will put the hit in your lap, most likely.
I recall using nukes to keep resources cut, but killing workers.
Axehandle, if you hit the stack once, you will at least put them in jeapardy as they will lose HP's. Making it easier to kill them.

I've done that before but that was way towards the end of the game when it was just 2 civs left - me versus the romans who brought an SOD of like 500 units mostly made of mech infantry. I used a tactical nuke on the SOD and used like 70 bombers or something turn after turn to finish them down.

What would happen to world opinion if you nuked barbarian units?50 bombers will do the job for most SODs, but I like the idea of nuking sods. (Now who was it who said he liked to nuke barbs?)

Nah, Stack of Doom sounds way better. I used to wrestle, and it reminds me of the hilarious Fingerpoke of Doom in WCW.
I have built a tonne of nukes as deterrents, but I've never actually dropped one. Never needed to.
