I couldn't tell you, I'm afraid. I am interested in your mod, but I've never actually played your mod.
You should not care about them guys rating your files badly. Usually this will no longer show that good after a while. I think your mod looks interesting and wonder if you plan to add any more civs.
At least on maps 18 is the limit, but do you plan to add more civs who might not be on the map?
I have to admit that i have not yet played your mod and thouhgt you used this function so you could choose which civs would appear on the map. I am interested in the mod thought, even if i currently have not had enough time to playtest.
I still am adding 1 more civ
I don't know if it will be possible, but if you are not using a costum dll you could use the one from TAM which will allow you to have up to 30 civs (such as Poland and Hungary and Bulgaria and Kiev-Rus)
Interesting mod. However, one small bug, make it a big bug, make it a great bug, appeared. I was enjoying a game for around 30 turns or something, after having read the civilopedia for a while (I first check out the mods civilopedia) when suddenly Bibracte spawned one tile away from my city and Brennus declared war to me. Annoyingly (correct me if that's not a good english word, please), he had a Gallic Warrior replacing Swordsman, with a Warrior-smashing 6 strength. He declared war on me, and as I saw later at the replay, he declared war on everybody. (Strange) That one same turn his gallic warrior defeated my Warrior easily and my civ was wiped out. How are these bugs (Spawning next to a city) (Getting free Swordsman while all civs are around archery or worse) possible?
Furthermore, great mod! Thanks for making this.
