About time, all the Javascript I've ever seen has been completely uncivilized.

"What do you think of JavaScript Civilisation?" "I think it would be a very good idea" - Gandhi, possibly

At least it’s not Civ2:MGE

“What do you think of...”

We have decided to rid the world of your worthless civilization. Prepare for WAR!

- Gandhi, every damn time

Atwood's Law strikes again!

Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.

Looks like it's just the code, but no noticeable way to play. Is it hosted somewhere?

Does https://rawgit.com/Venerons/CivJS/master/index.html help?

That was too easy

Please include a link in the repo to somewhere people can play it without having to figure out how it wants to be hosted.

This repo hasn't been updated in 3 years. Why did it get popular today?

the global peace index: peaceful, peacefuller, peacefullest, complete and utter nuclear annihilation

this, at least, shouldn't be a problem in relatively civilized js.

His opinion is backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Hah, I told a (non-gamer) Indian woman about Civ's originally-accidental running gag of erratic Ghandi.

She was displeased, to say the least.

The real question is whether the game will accurately reproduce Gandhi's bugged behavior[0] causing him to be super aggressive, or if the JS version will "fix" it.
