Hey all! I found a cheap way to cheat. Start a game with restart factions in effect. Don't like where you started? Just disband all your colony units, and next turn you have another (better? worse?) starting position, with a free terraformer. And you have seen another part of the map. Better yet, grab a few unity pods before you "die."
Started with an automatic city? That's no problem, just build a colony pod and disband that city; the game considers you eradicated even though you have a colony pod and it's turn 10 or so. That's how I found this cheat. For a faction to be considered eradicated, I think you should not have any colony pods as well as no cities, and if you disband yourself to death, the game should end, rather than let the player skip around collecting unity pods, etc.
