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.

I'll own up now and admit that I had no idea Gandhi had history in Civ (I'm not a gamer) My quip was accidentally genius!

There's another layer to your accidental genius. Gandhi could be very aggressive in civ due to a bug https://kotaku.com/why-gandhi-is-such-an-asshole-in-civiliza...

If you have the latest npm installed you can clone it and run `npx serve`.

I looked over the code for it, because earlier this year I was trying to make a turn based game that merged the gameplay of Imperialism II with the production tree depth of Factorio while having unique little sim like creature with traits that could be bred and inherited and so anytime I can learn something about how to structure code for TBS I'm pretty interested. Anyhow: it looks pretty incomplete for example here…

That sounds like an awesome game - do you have any interesting links for how to structure TBS games? It's something I've always played around with but never feel I managed to get a decent design

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...

It was only a bug in civ1, iirc, in the other ones they put it in intentionally.

the global peace index: peaceful, peacefuller, peacefullest, complete and utter nuclear annihilation this, at least, shouldn't be a problem in relatively civilized js.

You can't really argue with the fact that after a complete and utter nuclear annihilation we would have total world peace.
