BUILD NUKE 10

USE NUKE 12

so funny. the solution to gandhi in civ v was play babylon and win before he nukes you

If you were not going for a domination victory there's no reason to worry about Gandhi's nukes at all, period. No reason to pick Babylon or Korea or such and sink everything in science just because of Gandhi.

Only idiots who were warmongering liberally yet decided to leave Gandhi alone until he got nuke techs were the ones to actually get nuked by him.

babylon doesnt have to sink everything in science

it's one of the faster domination civs. babylonian bowmen are basically composite bowmen for half price. easy early-game rush, works better than assyria or huns ancient era rush IMO, and walls make counter-defense super easy since they are basically arsenals in the ancient era.

for later contact, babylon can get artillery less than 25 turns after mongols/china get keshiks/chokonus.
