How many AI Civs do you play with?

Continentals, large land mass, actually.

I always play continents and little land mass. I like to explore overseas.

7 AI civs is what I like to play. I just find it funner than 16 at once.

I've found that adjuting the AI Agression (available with Conquests) can make for different games when playing with modded civ numbers.

For example I have a rather fun game going right now. Huge map, Continents with Large Land Masses. 20 Civs with the AI Agression set to highest. I was able to expand to about 10 cities and then the fun began. I was surprised to start learning that the AI were actually fighting each other and conquering. I quickly had to take the Greeks (I was Roman) and Eqyptians to keep up. Then it was about 7 leaders and 4 or 5 minor civs. The minor civs are making it interesting because they have all MPP with different leader Civs. FYI - I'm on Monarch level. So far I have a slight edge on tech by 2 over the Ottomans. I foresee a large World War about to happen though.

So as you experiemnt with number of AI Civs on your map I also suggest adjusting agression levels.

I just tryed a costum map with all 31 civs at once just to see what it was like. It got a bit out of hand by the middle ages. Usually I play with 16. I like a lot of civs, I think it adds more depth into the game.
