Starting a single player game with more than seven factions

[JohnDoe66669]

Hi all,

Despite my extensive searches I haven't found the answer to this, so apologies if it has been already asked.

My question is, is it in any way possible to play with as many factions as desired in any given game? Or is AC/AX hardcoded to only allow a maximum of seven factions in a single player game?

Thanks,

SMAC/X is hard code to allow only a maximum of seven factions in a game.

Well, 8 actually, but one of those is the native life.
