Nuclear Superiority

Description
This mod makes some simple adjustments to make nuclear weapons more realistic and more powerful.

In particular, it raises the probability of fallout, increases the population damage, and destroys 90% of buildings in the city. For game balance it also raises the production cost.

@daddler88 That's heavily dependent on the yield of the nuclear weapon, and the height of detonation. A 50 megaton nuclear weapon, the largest ever built, detonated over the center of Berlin at 13,000 feet would level buildings for roughly 25 miles, almost reaching neighboring Potsdam, and cause 3,048,520 fatalities; 83% of the city's population. People would experience 3rd degree burns across a 65-mile area surrounding the city.

One could bring up the fact that the Tsar Bomba never entered official service, but to that I would say: This is Civilization 5. We don't have giant death robots, X-COM squads, or Gandhi the Conqueror in real life either.

Good idea, but cities today are so big that it takes several nuclear explosions to cover a city, it takes more to wipe one out.
Berlin would need 4, Mexico City 11, Chongqing is as big as Austria = 80-140.
I think you have no idea of the sizes of cities today and the average damage potential of a nuclear weapon.

Pair this with the damaging fallout mod and nuclear exchanges become a LOT more devastating.

Could you write new price of nukes? I like this description, sorta, but I like to use a lot of nukes as well.
