Nuclear Prerequisites

Inspired by EpsTweak for Nukes: Plaza

Campus District with a Research Lab is required in the city for:

• Manhattan Project
  
• Operation Ivy

Industrial Zone District with a Power Plant is required in the city for:

• Build Nuclear Device
  
• Build Thermonuclear Device

In Gathering Storm, the Power Plant requirement is updated to Nuclear Power Plant.

The Project(s) may be hidden in cities that do not have the required districts. If the respective district is present, then the project should be shown, along with a reason if unable to be started (Missing building, Pillage, Contamination, etc.).

When playing Gathering Storm:
Both Nuclear Power Plants and producing a WMD require the same resource, potentially reducing the rate of multiple WMD production.
Nuclear accidents or Spy sabotage introduce a risk in producing a WMD. The district or building being pillaged or contaminated will halt the production of a WMD, potentially encouraging the balance between recommission projects and producing WMD, as well as counter Spy operations.
Since Spies should be available before WMD and Mobile SAM, this allows for a proactive measure against aggressors that are ahead in technologies, while still allowing the aggressor some counter play with their own Spies. This should be more engaging than racing to nuke each other or spamming Mobile SAM.
