Can I change my leader?

[Norvin_Green]

Is there a way to change my leader once I start a game. I looked in the .ini file but don't see anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, NG

you have to open worldbuilder and save the game there
then load it as a scenario and you can switch to any civilization/leader that is in the game
if you want to just change the leader but retain the same cities etc. you need to open the worldbuilder save in a text editor and manually change the leader there - just exchange the leader information your the current one with the new one...

Thanks for the help. I have been able to change my leader. I have another question - when I change the leader in the text editor and then load the save I lose whatever amount of beakers I had put into a tech. Is there some way to correct this. Also, is there a way to save a worldbuilder save as a regular save? Thanks, NG

as for saving the worldbuilder save: you have to start a game as a scenario - and then can save from inside that game.
It is quite likely that this (the thing) is not easily done but you'll get better answers in the Creation and Customization subforum

You could always use the RevolutionDCM mod, or any mod based off it. If you enable cheatmode, you can press ctrl + L and change your leader at any time using RevDCM or any mod that uses it as a core.

Thanks, I'll ask there.
