Adding more than 8 civs & Pollution button in the cheat mode

[Mike Wall]

OK, I did what Nordicus said and chaned profile.txt to:

Numplayers = 32
DefaultCivIndex = 32
CivIndex = 32
MaxPLayers=9

When I load a new game, I'm still only given the option of 8 civilisations!

Am I missing something?

BTW, thanks Locutus for the advice on getting rid of lawyers and corporate branches, the AI seems perfectly capable without them.

You should not change profile.txt, but userprofile.txt which can be found in ...\ctp_program\ctp

Mike,

All you HAVE to change is NumPlayers=xx where xx is the number of players you want. Nothing else has to be changed. When you start the game it will still say 8 Civs. Don't touch this or you will abend the game. The game will actually have the number of players you specified.

Ahh! Changing userprofile.txt had the desired effect! Thanks Paul.

Skorpion, once this file was changed to Numplayers=32, starting a new game showed no. of civs as 31 on the load screen.

Now, I must mail Nordicus for his changed colours mod, as at least thirteen civs are sharing colours!

the alternate set of civ colors is great, and it makes the map much more colorful. i just hope that you're not colorbline... i am, and i have a hell of a time figuring out who is who

You get 31 civs because the last one is always the Barbarians.

Glad I could help

Yes, Mike, when taking advice from me, it's best to get a second opinion

Hey, what happened to that unintelligible conversation that was going on in here? C'mon, we have to keep these threads alive here, no matter what language they're in

j/k

My next question is how to have this available in Multiplayer, so I could have say 24 spots..for a big whoop-the-ai-fest!

Any directions?
