Turning off the Nuclear Option

[Zouave]

I hated the nuclear option in Civ II. Having it always drastically changes the strategic situation.

Is there any way or any possible patch that could have the nuclear option be toggled on or off in Civ III as we do with other stuff?? Just asking. Maybe a hacker or two could help.

Easy just sabotage anybody building "the manhattan project" wonder

Maybe I can find a way to either turn it off in the Editor, or just make it so expensive no sane civilization will build it.

Sabotage is too iffy and too expensive.

You can make the Manhattan project unbuildable by associating it with a technology that can't be discovered.
It will force you to create a new tech with "none" in the era it's associated, though

Cut down on the power of nukes. Instead of having them have the "nuclear" tag, instead make them have attack values in the 90s.

They should have the hydrogen bomb, it should killl the Whole city back to one or non existence.....that'lll be kool......and the pollution effect should be twice as powerful than the Nukes. Stealth bombers loading those babies would be deadly.........

go to the editor. select the nuke and let it cost lets say 1000000 shields. That will stop the nuclear threat. I dont know if the comp. still makes nukes even if they cost 1000000.. but you can try.

.... going to the MP entry in the editor and de-selecting "Allows all civs to produce nuclear devices."

And maybe check "Gives 2 free techs" or something, to make it worth building.

Hydrogen bombs do not produce more nuclear pollution than
fission ones. Very basically, a hydrogen bomb is just a fission
bomb with hydrogen included...

This is off topic but a hydrogen bomb is a fussion bomb that uses an atomic (fission) bomb as it's trigger. The amount of radiation is actually dependent on the size of the bomb. The larger bombs of 1-50 MGT actually produce less ground radiation then smaller bombs. this is because the larger bombs have their bast rise into the upper atmosphere where more radiation then is reduced according to the half-life of the isotope. You can go to www.fas.org to learn everything you ever wanted to know about the bomb.
