Disable a civ entirely in MP?

[bishof]

Hello!

I've been trying to do this with no succes, since no mods work in MP, neither does really advanced setup.

Is there a way I can remove a civilization entirely from the pool in a MP game? (all the human players are my friends, so copying files to everyone' machine is feasible)

Thanks in advance!

Jes there is a way to do that,since Mod's don't work in MP u have to write a "fake" DLC like the NQ MOD and then in there the code to remove a civ (the NQ mod removes venice)

in the Spoiler there is the code of the NQ mod that removes Venice

<Set Playable="false" AIPlayable="false" />
<Where Type="CIVILIZATION_VENICE" />

</Civilizations>
</GameData>

Just remember since your modification is a DLC then all players need to have it in there folder

OK, so I can use NQ mod for this?

I found the XML that removes Venice, and I extended it to remove all the civs I need removed. I also would like to remove any other changes NQ mod introduces? Shall I just keep the DLC\MP_MODSPACK\Mods\NoQuittersMod_v8.0 (v 8)\civs\RemoveVenice.xml, and remove all other files?

What files are necessary for the fake DLC to work?
