How can I increase maximum number of Civs in one game (beyond 18)?

[Quaetam]

Does anyone know how to increase the number of Civs in one game?
I've attempted to use Civ4WorldInfo.xml to increase the number of civs on huge maps using <iDefaultPlayers>, but it hasn't changed a thing.

Here is the entry for huge maps in the original CIV4WorldInfo.xml

Spoiler :

<Type>WORLDSIZE_HUGE</Type> <Description>TXT_KEY_WORLD_HUGE</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_WORLD_HUGE_HELP</Help>
<iDefaultPlayers>18</iDefaultPlayers>
<iUnitNameModifier>0</iUnitNameModifier>
<iTargetNumCities>6</iTargetNumCities>
<iNumFreeBuildingBonuses>7</iNumFreeBuildingBonuses>
<iBuildingClassPrereqModifier>100</iBuildingClassPrereqModifier>
<iMaxConscriptModifier>75</iMaxConscriptModifier>
<iWarWearinessModifier>-50</iWarWearinessModifier>
<iGridWidth>32</iGridWidth>
<iGridHeight>20</iGridHeight>
<iTerrainGrainChange>1</iTerrainGrainChange>
<iFeatureGrainChange>1</iFeatureGrainChange>
<iResearchPercent>150</iResearchPercent>
<iTradeProfitPercent>30</iTradeProfitPercent>
<iDistanceMaintenancePercent>100</iDistanceMaintenancePercent>
<iNumCitiesMaintenancePercent>20</iNumCitiesMaintenancePercent>
<iNumCitiesAnarchyPercent>6</iNumCitiesAnarchyPercent>

And here is my modified text. the changes appear in red.

<iDistanceMaintenancePercent>100</iDistanceMaintenancePercent>
<iNumCitiesMaintenancePercent>20</iNumCitiesMaintenancePercent>
<iNumCitiesAnarchyPercent>6</iNumCitiesAnarchyPercent>

The only text I altered is the iDefaultPlayers tab.

I have mods with extra civs, and I'd like to be able to use them all at once.
Any suggestions?

Are you just talking about on a map? If thats the case then go to my Warlords maps in my signature page 3 post 44. I dont know if thats what your asking, if not sorry.

In vanilla it is impossible to increase the number of civs. However, in Warlords, you have to download a DLL that allowsfor more than 18 and it should work, Blackun has made three higher civ DLL's in the mod component section. To allow for more civs you can't just edit a worldinfo file, you have to edit the Game core.

Okay. I'll try that, thanks.
