Hi,
i need to start every game of my Civ4 BTS with some custom settings:
- 18 civs
- Pangaea
The custom settings may be differents.
Civ4 only remember someone of the last settigns i picked,but i.e. when i start a new custom map i alwas have to set 18 civs, the map and someone else, depending on the map i want.
Is there a way to create a file, double cilck and i just start a new game with all my customization have been set?
I need that cause i have to try many times the starting point to have a good resources for my capital, is very important in the hard-level games! :p
Thank you!

UP...
Please someone can answer my question? :confused:

Noone? :(
Is it so difficult?

1. In your CivilizationIV.ini file, there is this section:

; Game Options
GameOptions = 0000000000000000000000000100000

; Victory Conditions
VictoryConditions = 11111111

; Handicap for quick play
QuickHandicap = HANDICAP_NOBLE

; GameSpeed options are GAMESPEED_QUICK/GAMESPEED_NORMAL/GAMESPEED_EPIC/GAMESPEED_MARATHON
GameSpeed = GAMESPEED_NORMAL

; Era options are ERA_ANCIENT/ERA_CLASSICAL/ERA_MEDIEVAL/ERA_RENAISSANCE/ERA_INDUSTRIAL/ERA_MODERN
Era = ERA_ANCIENT

; Sealevel options are SEALEVEL_LOW/SEALEVEL_MEDIUM/SEALEVEL_HIGH
SeaLevel = SEALEVEL_MEDIUM

; Climate options are CLIMATE_ARID/CLIMATE_TEMPERATE/CLIMATE_TROPICAL
Climate = CLIMATE_TEMPERATE

; Worldsize options are WORLDSIZE_DUEL/WORLDSIZE_TINY/WORLDSIZE_SMALL/WORLDSIZE_STANDARD/WORLDSIZE_LARGE/WORLDSIZE_HUGE
WorldSize = WORLDSIZE_DUEL

This is where your previous game selections are stored.

2. In CIV4WorldInfo.xml, found in Assets\XML\GameInfo, you can edit the number of civs starting on any mapsize:


<WorldInfo>
<Type>WORLDSIZE_HUGE</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_WORLD_HUGE</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_WORLD_HUGE_HELP</Help>

<iCorporationMaintenancePercent>50</iCorporationMaintenancePercent>
<iNumCitiesAnarchyPercent>6</iNumCitiesAnarchyPercent>
<iAdvancedStartPointsMod>120</iAdvancedStartPointsMod>
</WorldInfo>

Change the highlighted value to 18. I know this is not exactly a script, and you still have to chose the pangea map, but at least it's something... :)

Just make sure to not edit the original xml file. Make a copy and put it in CustomAssets.

If your problem is just to have the good resources at the beginning, you can also play Pangea with The map script Full of resources and choose your starting resources.

Tcho !
