I'll build Manhattan Project right at the end, unless there's another civilization around that I have security concerns about, just to pick up the extra points for the wonder on my Civilization score.

My answer is like RNF's. If I'm preserving an AI city or two as a "reservation" and their tech is no threat, I'll build it for the Wonder and the points. Other than that, I have no use for it.
Yes, of COURSE I had to try it out in one game, and that was against a truly threatening enemy. Ya know, that siren was kinda chilling . . .
(So, how long until the format gets busted by bad timing?)

yes you got my strategy exactly. unless the ai builds it, then I just conquer it. I always conquer all cities but 1.
yes: 5
no: 5
why would you not build it? it is free points.

In Civ2 I'll go ahead and speed-build the Manhattan Project ONLY if I already have SDIs in most of my cities. If I don't, no.
In (ancient) Civ1, many times I would find myself in a situation where an AI civ had already launched a spaceship. At that point, one must find and take the capital city of the spaceship-empire. Typically, a small, but potent task force composed of; 1 carrier w/bombers & 2 nukes, 4-5 cruisers as outriders, 3-4 battleships, and at least 1 (preferably 3 or 4) transports full of mobile troops. 1 nuke clears a coastal city. Move the transports into the coastal city you nuked. Nuke the capital, then move in w/mobile units. All you have to do is take it once. They may well take it back, but the spaceship is already down. Generally, the whole force is expendable. After it crashes the enemy spaceship, wreak havoc--plunder like there's no tommorow! DESTROY anything you can reach, take cities and sell off everything you can. Leave them open, let the enemy take them back, and then take them again, just to reduce the populations. While all this destruction is ongoing, build and launch your own spaceship.
This used to work well w/Civ1. It doesn't work so well in Civ2. Generally, ANY hostile naval movement WILL be smothered by innumerable cruise missles before it can reach any enemy shoreline. And SDI defenses can really put a crimp in this kind of plan.

But I suppose I should not vote, since I realize that I haven't seen even an alpine troop for months. "They" are so sticky...always come too close and want a fight.

In CIV1 I built it ONLY if the spacerace has gotten out of hand (my hand).
In Civ 2 I built it once just to do it. That was the last I've seen of it except when the AI did built it itself onetime.
I never thought they'd actually use nukes because I had not used them against them.
I was mistaken.
AND unprepared.

now LOL at that!
with the AI you'll always have to be prepared for everything....
NO :12
YES:09
AI always builds it once another AI spaceship's on its way....or i try to get it...
and i prepare myself with SDI and nuke stores on subs and carriers to perform a counterstrike...they shouldn't have tried me....
