God Mode Question

Posted on Saturday, October 3, 2015

I'm playing a huge/normal game as the Iconians against the Yor.  Is it possible to completely take over as the Yor, so I can see what their civilization budget looks like?

It's about turn 150.  I have 25 planets, they have 8.  I'm way ahead on everything but military.  I have 25 ships, they have something like 225!  How can they possibly afford the upkeep on so many ships?  I've built about 10 medium ships so far; they've built at least 40.

I can't figure out how the "god" console command is supposed to work, and I've done a lot of googling on that to no avail.  I found several posts where people casually mention taking over the AIs, but they never say how.

I can open the console and execute the command.  That lets me look at the enemy planets (and notice that they are horribly undeveloped).  But I can't seem to find a way to "take over" the enemy civilization, as "help god" indicates one can do.

What is the obvious thing I'm missing?
