Colonization SAV File Web Editor

[nwagers]

Not sure why I felt so inclined in the last week, but I decided to make a web editor for the SAV files. It's primarily map based for changing the terrain to line up with the locations of prime resources. Features:

• Change base terrain to grassland/prairie/savannah/plains/etc, and their forested counterparts (Broadleaf/Conifer/Rain/etc) and ocean/seaway.
• Add or remove terrain features: major & minor rivers/hills/mountains.
• Build or remove roads
• Plow or unplow fields
• View and adjust prime resources (all 16 options) and lost city rumors
• Restore depleted mines
• Restore rumors
• Automatically resuppress off shore fishing (visual improvement)
• Display colony, including power and fortification level, and village placement (type only, not tribe).
• Remove fortifications from colony to aid in abandonment.
• Manual editing of Pacific Ocean
• Manual editing of pathing regions

I also have some export to .MP code working, but it's not pushed to the repo at the time of this post. In the future I will probably also add some warnings for bad pathing regions and some form of repair for colony selection scores used by the AI. I might also add the ability to purchase tribal land. I might add some .MP import code. I'm probably going to leave it with the very "gridded" look instead of applying the smoothing masks like the game because I think it makes it easier to see while editing.

I'd love it very much if someone could use this to fully decipher which skills are taught by villages. I know it's partially or fully determined by surrounding terrain and advancement level.

I'm happy to hear if anyone has fun with it or finds any bugs, also any feature suggestions or UX improvements. I'm not a javascript guy, so my abilities are limited.
I'm more likely to see feedback on reddit:
