+18 civs in vanilla

[randomproof]

I'm trying to run vanilla (1.74) with more than 18 civs but it crashes when I start a new game. While debugging I think I've found that the EXE is hardcoded to only 18 civs. Do I have to update to Warlords or BTS for more civs?

I'm not sure, I haven't done any modding in vanilla. But in either case, I would most definitely recommend you upgrade to BtS! It's just better, IMHO.

Warlords and BtS also allow only 18 civs.

You need a mod to use more.
