For each of the #AI_Section with #civ=1 parameter add by followed formula
(thanks for Dan Magaha)
(3 if #power == true ) (3 if #mood == true )
number of lines = (N * #civ) * ( or ) * ( or ) * #random
(1 if #pover == false) (1 if #mood == false)
Notes:
NN -- Total number of civs
N = (NN - 16) -- Number extra civs
In followed table:
...
#AIFIRSTCONTACT 16 + 1 * N (add 1*N lines)
...
#AIDEMANDTRIBUTE 48 + 3 * N
...
#AIFIRSTCONTACT -- means the label of entry
for #AIFIRST...
16 -- number of lines in standard diplomacy.txt file
1*N --- number of extra lines for new civs per number of extra civs,
for example for 2 extracivs 1*2 = 2 new lines
for #AIDEMAND...
48 -- number of lines in standard diplomacy.txt file
3*N --- number of extra lines for new civs per number of extra civs,
for example for 2 extracivs 3*2 = 6 new lines sorted per civs, per 3 power, per 3 moods by #random

#AIRENEGOTIATE 18 + 0 (no add lines)
...
For this kind of entry:
18 -- are standard lines
0 -- no add lines
This is example for the entry
#AIFIRSTCONTACT
#civ 1 ; ---- need adding
#power 0
#mood 0
#random 1
"I, $AI0, Ruler of $CIVNAME1, wonder of the world, greet you." ; --- for first standard civ
"Greetings. I, $AI0, greet you."
...
...
"I am Great $AI0. The $CIVADJ2 people are honorable. Deal with us fairly and we shall have peace."
"I am $AI0, of the $CIVADJ3." ; for last 16th civ
; - - this add new lines for extra 2 civs
"I, $AI0, Ruler of $CIVNAME1, wonder of the world, greet you." ; --- for 17th extra civ
"Greetings. I, $AI0, greet you." ; - - for 18th extra civ
...
