Playing unplayable civs

[stolenrays]

I read somewhere you can play unplayable civs by tweaking scenerios in Worldbuilder, but I can't figure it out. I want to play unplayable civs in the warlords scenerios. Is it possible?

To do this, open up the worldbuilder save in a text editor.
In the worldbuilder save, there is a section describing the civilizations; each one gets a block. For example, in the Rhye's 600 AD scenario, this is the block for India:

BeginPlayer
	LeaderType=LEADER_ASOKA
	CivType=CIVILIZATION_INDIA                 
	Team=1                 
	PlayableCiv=0                 
	Handicap=HANDICAP_PRINCE                 
EndPlayer

Change PlayableCiv=0 to PlayableCiv=1, and India is now playable. You can select India at the scenario screen, and instantly lose because you don't have any cities or units.
