Can the maximum 18 civs in a game limit be removed or lifted now that the SDK is out?

No, it looks like it is a hard coded/bug in the core game engine.

Has anyone contacted/yelled at Firaxis directly about it yet?

Yep, a couple of people: Rhye and Kael as far as I know

Firaxis is aware. Rhye was the one to present the issue, I just saw the exchange.

That sucks, I guess they had to leave some feature that they could provide via a expansion pack and not "given" free by allowing it to be modded. Clever buissenes sense but bad for the customers…

It was actually a bug which they weren't able to catch before the patch was sent to Take2 for testing. And I don't think that another patch is going to be released before Warlords, so therefore we're going to have to wait till Warlords for the fix to be available.

I doupt its a real bug. I think that they just coded the engine with the exepectation of their being no more than 18 civs.
