When Can Bombers Fire Nukes?

Bombers can fire nukes in certain circumstances:

• Ammo Load: Bombers can carry nuclear missiles, which they can launch when they run out of conventional ammunition.
• Nuclear Submarine Launch: Bombers can intercept nuclear submarines, causing them to launch nukes, which can be targeting any city within a 12-tile radius.
• Nuclear Alert: When a civilization has reached the Atomic Age and built a Nuclear Plant, all bombers in its production chain will be nuclear-ready and can fire nukes immediately.
