Sadly you are right...it appears that 48 civ is too much also for the score scrollboard, if the resolution is too low.
I'm trying to figure out how to fix that.

I haven't downloaded the latest version yet as i have a game to complete. I have discovered all civs and as I allowed civs to survive with no cities I have all civs on the scoreboard except me (top), who is just off the screen. Thought i'd let you know.
So this means 37 civs listed I think?
My resolution is 1280 x 800.

The old version had 40 civs (from 0 to 39), plus the barbarians (#40), ergo in your scoreboard you saw listed 39 civs, missing just yourself.
In the new version with 48 civs I'm not sure how many are left outside of it, as obviously it depends on the resolution.
However I'm trying to find out a way to modify the scoreboard parameters to expand it.
That sounds like n excellent idea. (I've suggested using the scrollable-civ-score modcomp as a standard feature for GEM to Ghenghis_Kai, but it appears he hasn't gotten around to doing that, as it's not in the latest version...)

Jeelen,
Kai has indicated that the scrolling scoreboard is set to be included in the next version of GEM. No doubt that this would also benefit from the extended scoreboard if Traiano can conjure some magic.

I'm trying to find out what type of screen resolution allows you to view all the 48 civ scores on the main interface.
Anybody with a good desktop and a solid graphic card manages to see all the 48 civs using the scrolling scoreboard?

Well, not me. It's got to the point where I need to go to the diplomacy screen in order to contact the most power civs. I don't really mind it too much, considering how great it is just to have 48 civs in a senario.
Anyway, I haven't really got around to posting anything for a while now. I started a game, as the Byantines, and it's going quite well.
In the begining, I captured Constantinople and Athens. then I pushed all my forces into the Balkins and eventually absobed all te Othordox countries there. Then, in about 1330, I turned my attention to the Seljurks. I had already begu to soften them up, using my spare units that weren't busy fighting my religious brothers.
So, after a 70 year war, I captured all their cities, and they capitulated. I then moved against Saladin, capturing the Holy City in around 1415. I had total controll over Egypt and the Arabian Penninsula by 1450. It seems that Saladin was too busy fighting with Yusuf II to divert any of his units to me.
I then moved onto Yusuf, who, as I stated above, was at war with Saladin, now my vassal. I sent my elite forces, and withing 15 turns, I had wiped him off the map. In this game, to my delight, Spain survived, and compleded the Reconquista in about 1400. However, that meant no land for me in Iberia. I then decided to invade the Papal States, in order to bring Rome under my controll, thus having 4 Holy Cities in my Empire. I suceeded, but when Rome almost flipped to the Holy Romans, I conquered them too.
And so here I am, at oh, 1475-1500. My Empire is the largest in the world, I'm the most advanced Empire in the world, and I'm looking to colonize the new world. Great game!

I'm testing the mod with Serbia and I have a couple of suggestions:
1) Current Christianity should be renamed to Catholicism. Having Orthodoxy and calling the Catholicism Christianity seems to suggest that Orthodoxy is not Christianity.
2) For better gameplay, you should also split other religions which had hostilities based on sects. Most importanty, Islam should be split into Sunni and Shia.
3) There should be a Silver resource near Priština to represent Novo Brdo mines. Pigs in Serbia are wrong because pigs were introduced only during Ottoman reign because it was the only livestock that Ottomans wouldn't take by force. Better change it to Cows and Sheep. Maybe some Horses would be ok because medieval Serbia was famous for its cavalry.
4) You should edit the Enrico Dandolo leader to be less likely to accept religious conversion. I got him to convert to Orthodoxy for 50 gold.

Some more suggestions:
5) Ancient wonders should all be already placed or disabled if they are already destroyed in 13th century. Destroyed wonders could also have different effect or could be placed as obsolete wonders that had already become tourist attractions. For example, Temple of Artemis, which was destroyed but was probably still used as a source of building material in 13th century, could give hammers bonus instead of its current effect.
6) Ethiopia should have Orthodoxy religion. Corfu and Crete are more Orthodoxy but it is ok if they have both Christianity and Orthodoxy for the game purposes. Athens should be Orthodoxy only. Catholicism arrived in Athens with Frankish and Italian crusaders but was always limited to the ducal family and never really made it into the general population.

7) Thessalonica was an important medieval city but in the game it is totally cramped by the surrounding capitals of Smyrna, Sofia and Priština. Since Sofia is the closest, moving Sofia one field diagonally to the northeast should do the trick. Yeah, its probably geographically incorrect but so are many other cities and it would be good for the gameplay. Thessalonica would then have enough room to expand its borders to the east if it is in Serbian hands or to the north if it is in Byzantine hands.

Nameless,
Thanks for all your notes. Very helpful.
I should be easily able to implement the changes regarding the Novo Brdo mines, the orthodox cities, and perhaps also move Sofia to give Thessalonica some room to grow.
With regards to splitting religions or updating Christianity to Catholicism, that is an enormous amount of work, something quite advanced, that currently I wont do.
Regarding Enrico Dandolo I noticed the same pattern. However ultimately he reverts to Christianity within a few turns, at least at Prince or Monarch.
Last but not least, "Do not trust the skull"

And I third the request for an updated 1205 AD! I've really been missing this senario ever since GEM got updated to 3.19. Is there any chance it will be updated, Traiano? And a small suggestion if it is: How about replacing Theodore I Laskaris' leaderhead (Justinian) with The Capo's Heraclius?

We're liable to start another Nika riot if our demands are not met, Traiano, you opressive ruler you! You controll the life or death of this senario, and we all want to win and conqueror in it, so Nika! Nika! 
On a serious note, I'm still very hopeful. Now that The Navy Seal has returned to his senarios, perhaps Traiano will do the same.

Hi Folk!
Sorry for the very slow reply (also to those that pm me regarding helping with new mods).
The truth is that I'm traveling and I'm nearly never in front of a computer!
I dont know yet when I'll go home, as the plan is to continue my travels until I really run out of cash. Ah, the pleasure of going on day by day. In other words, at the moment I really cant promise anything.
I hope you understand.
Let me stress I appreciated the display of loyalty toward this scenario!
best,
Traiano
