Apolyton Mod question - save CIVs always appear in all games

[johnc214]

I am for the most part enjoying the CTP2 game, with a few complaints. But one main thing I have noticed is that when I play 3 or 4 CIVs (I like larger empires instead of lots of small ones) I **ALWAYS** end up against the Scottish and Arabians and English!! Is this programmed this way? Why? And can I change it so I get a random selection of the opponents?

Thanks!
John

If you want to play with random civs (with Cradle or any other mod/lack of mods), there are two conditions you have to meet:

1. You have to play on one of the higher difficulty levels, IIRC Prince/Medium or higher (could be King/Hard though, not 100% sure).
2. You have to make sure NonRandomCivs in ctp2_program\userprofile.txt is set to No.

If both these conditions are met you'll play against different opponents every time you start a new game.
