Played it until I got at least 2 civs into being space-faring. Pretty fun :)

Although, if you want to keep playing the game without constantly going through a bunch of already dead civs, then you'll need to hide them (Did this via Tampermonkey):

excuse my javascript inexperience... since when did JS get a lambda style definition?! Am I just living under a rock! (hitl flight sims in c++ for my day job w/ no real JS exposure)

Interesting job! Would one of the HITLs you work on be named after a rock band by any chance?

They call them "arrow functions" and were apparently added in 2015 with ES6.

can you make a "spawn civ" cheat button as well? please

I'm not the parent commenter, but it's open source and on github and easy to run localy, unfortunately it requires installing Java and some deprecated Java application to even build it to have changes reflect and I'm not doing either of those things. I also don't know enough about un-minifying javascript to just change variables in the browser directly. maybe someone else here does.
