Is there a simple way to create a custom game in BTS which allows all 30-some civilizations on the map at once? The in-game setup limits it at 16.

No, the limit is 18, and see here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=374496#5) (in case you don't care about premade maps, then just follow step 1).

Do you mean that after following Step 1, I'll be able to create the +18 game from the setup as long as I load that file as a MOD, or do I still have to use a pre-made map? If I can just do it from setup, I can't find the MOD to load.

:yup:

:confused:
Do you mean that the mod does not get listed in the mod list?


Oh, and welcome to CFC :).
