After talking it over with my co-op and some other folks, I'm gonna have to go with no. While I understand that nukes would be stronger at this point in time, it just seems too easy that it could kick off a dick measuring contest of weapons and tech that could and most likely would spiral way out of control.

So What is the Max allowed power for a bomb?

Well, for comparison, 1 Gt = 1000 Mt, and the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated was only 50 Mt. I don't think there's been a set max limit on weapon destructibility but the OP would undoubtedly like things to be reasonable, so, if looking for a hard limit then probably something dramatically below 1 Gt. Furthermore, bigger yields will require larger weapons making such explosives pretty useless against semi-competent defenses.

Well i mean, Project SUNDIAL, made in the cold war, was for a 10gt Bomb. Even considering things to not be too Big, an Bomb over 1 gt Is really easy to make, considering the other tech.

What's the strategic reasoning for such a large explosive when more traditionally sized weapons would work? Most modern weapons are tiny by comparison since large yields are impractical for many reasons. And when the largest bomb ever detonated was only 50 Mt do you think Cold War USA could develop a 10,000 Mt explosive?

But why make such a large nuke at all? After a while, it just seems excessive.

Well, it'll eventually happen. It's sci-fi after all. Aliens are Just too different to not genocide each other at some point. Plus, planetary extinction is like a big flex on everyone Else near you
