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. [0] https://kotaku.com/why-gandhi-is-such-an-asshole-in-civiliza...

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.
At the end of a turn, the only thing that happens is that units are healed (gold, science, production aren't implemented yet):

There's no AI or anything like that implemented just yet.

It's such an ongoing theme in all civ games now, I can't see anyone that is a fan of the franchise "fixing" that bug.

"What do you think of JavaScript Civilisation?" "I think it would be a very good idea" - Gandhi, possibly
My opinion is that this is best Civ-themed HackerNews comment ever written so far and I would gladly argument it by saying the quoting Gandhi as an ironically peaceful opinionist is very ironic indeed. ICBM.
My quip was accidentally genius!

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
the global peace index: peaceful, peacefuller, peacefullest, complete and utter nuclear annihilation this, at least, shouldn't be a problem in relatively civilized js.
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
"In the earlier Civs, leaders are given a set of attributes that dictate their behavior. One such attribute is a number scale associated with aggressiveness. Gandhi was given the lowest number possible, a rating of 1. However, when a civilization adopted democracy, it granted a civilization -2 to opponent aggression levels. This sent Gandhi’s rating of 1 into the negative, which swung it back around to 255 — the highest possible rating available, and thus, the infamous warmonger Gandhi was born." [1]
