Actually you can, and I already did some of that. In worldbuilder, you go to edit player mode, right arrow, territory, and click on the player name of the city you want to give it to and click the city.

How do I create a mod and how do I upload a mod/scenario?

Please answer.
For a mod, you create a new folder in your mods subfolder (the one in C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Civ4\BtS\Mods, not the one in My documents\My Games\BtS\Mods), and plug every XML file which you need (don't want to change anything in that file? -> you don't need it) in their respective subfolders (new unit? Copy BtS\Assets\XML\Units\UnitInfos.xml [and all other files you need, for units it would be Units\UnitClassInfos.xml and Assets\XML\Art\ArtDefines_units.xml] into your mods folder\Assets\XML\Units, and so forth with everything else).
If you then achieved whatever you want you make a .zip or .rar file out of your folder and upload it either to our download database (in case it's 10 MB or less) or to another site with bigger capacities (like Rapidshare or whatever, see here for a list).

And how do I zip a folder (sorry for my lack of knowledge about this sort of stuff)? Also, the Earth 1000 AD scenario seems to just be a worldbuilder file.
A scenario is in general only a map file. I thought you wanted to add/change more stuff there. If you don't, then don't bother with what I wrote

@.zip: You need a program which can compress a folder/file into a .zip or a .rar file. Mostly WinZip or WinRar are used (both have free trials), but 7zip is a totally free alternative.
Install it, and then you either get a context menu in the explorer, so you make a right click on the file and somewhere appears something like "create archive", or you open 7zip, and make a right click on the folder in which the file is and click "add to archive".

I want to know if it is possible to add civs already in Bts into the scenario through worldbuilder.

I have 16. If you want to know more about it, you can look at it on your own.
Oh, is this then not the same question like in post #6/8 ^^ 
?
If you like I can edit the last two civs in, just give me the map and say which civs. I'll give them somewhere a city just that they are there, and you can change whatever you like in the Worldbuilder again.

I would like to know how, but thanks for trying to be helpful.
Okay, then:
- Rightclick on the WB save file
- Open it with notepad
- Find the team entries for Civ #17, should look like:
(yes, 16, because counting begins with 0)
and
Replace both entries with actual real entries like e.g.
If you want to exchange civ or leader at that point, then you can find the right namings in Assets\XML\Civilizations\CivilizationInfos.xml and LeaderheadInfos.xml.
So, now the civ is in. But on a map with already set cities and units, a civ without units or cities is dead, so you have to add at least a settler or a city for that civ.
easiest thing: Find a city, just search for "city", you'll get an entry like this (random sample):
Just change the CityOwner from 12 to 16, and your new civ is in. Then fire up the map and do all the needed changes in the worldbuilder, that's probably easier than further dealing with the text editor.

I got there, but I seem to need to add all of the cities for the civ. I also apparently have 17 civs, not 16.
how do you come to this conclusion?Means the latest number you have in the file is 16 (0 - 16 = 17), yes?

All of the other civs have their city names in the notepad thingy.

This is one part of what I have so far:
And this is another part:
What do you think?
