im considering making a scenario / mod that begins thwe game with 3 settlers for every civ, and after that not being able to build any until you unlock invention and 're-discover' the ability. there might also be a few more changes using editor mainly.
anyways, is there a way to set how many settlers there are at the beginning for all civs? ive tried changing the starting units to2 settlers and a worker in replace of scout, but its not want i want.
if i cant do it in editor, can someone tell me what file(s) i need to edit.
thanx in advance.

Scenario -> Player Propertie (must be enabled with Custom Player Data) -> Starting Units -> How many

Hope it helps

Great idea anyway

The other thing you can do, if it's a scenario with a set map, is to just PLACE an extra two settlers for each civ.

thanx supa.
it will start out as a random map, but might put it with a world map later.
