I think Nimueh killed so many  citizens as a revenge on them. general citizens actually distrusted magic users, hated them. We saw in the pilot, the crowd cheered when the wizard was burnt alive and  people usually always gathered to watch sorcerors being punished. Hence Nimueh chose to harm Uther and also  the people in the Camelot.

Fimber: As an avid Agatha Christie fan I must share an observation of Poirot. Villains usually like to think they will never be caught. They love to brag about their doings, because most of the time they suffer from some insecurity or inferiority complex, or are in a position socially where they can be easily overlooked, non descriptive, totally ordinary. Thats why they always tend to create complicated plots. Also some of them think of themselves as artists and their evil plots as work of art.
