Can I mod the game to play without a human civ?

[CDegeyter]

Never modded before but I love simulations and statistics. I was wondering if it is possible to mod the game so that it has no human player? Ideally it would advance turns automatically, but if that is not possible i would not be adverse to press next turn a bunch of times.

You can do this with FireTuner. Just start it up, go to the Game tab, select what civilization you want to return as and click any of the autoplay buttons. If you do not select a civilization to return as it will default to observer, which means the AI keep playing indefinitely regardless of how many turns you tell it to auto play.

I suppose that you could expose the AI autoplay to lua and make an interface to do that ingame as well, but as snarko said the firetuner method is easiest.

Here's a question. When autoplaying, does the AI of the human civ match what is set in its flavors?

It looks like they just get default values for flavors, personality and so on.
