Thought I was getting smart with this, but the result was ... sub-optimal.
I set up eleven civs on three continents and an island chain. These are aggressive, expansionist civs, or otherwise strong AIs in the games I've played, with a couple weaker ones thrown in for them to feed on. There was a twelvth start location on a central island, where the last civ will start.
I left the other BeginPlayer options blank (as in the default py file) and kicked off the wbs it made.
The only selectable civs were the ones I specified in the python script.
OK. So I add the other seven civs, and add "PlayableCiv" tags to all eighteen: 0 for the eleven antagonist AIs, and seven selectable by the player as 1.
In order to get them to use the central 12th start location, I gave the seven the same XY coordinates. Recompile and start the WBS...
Ah, my builder civ is on the proper location. I built my founding city and hit next turn.
WTF
The other SIX civs I marked as playable are all piled up just outside my city radius. I specified this map to have 12 players... why did they show up?
How do I set it up so you can select one of the seven Builder civs I marked as playable, but only one of them show up in the game?
Here's my .py file zipped up.
