How to add more than 18?

Play a mod that allows more than 18.

It is not possible to create such a mod for the Mac version since there is no way to rebuilt the program to allow it. With the PC version it is controlled in a DLL for which the source is available so it can be modified and rebuilt to do things like that (and much more).
 
Allowing Civ to use more than 18 players already mods the game, so by definition you can't do that and play modless.

However, I think you mean that you want to just add the possibility to play with more civs, without changing or modding anything else.

That's possible, you'll need to find one of the "50 Civs" dlls that are floating around. I'm not sure where to find them (I play heavily modded games so I wouldn't have a use for it), but they were popular for a while and should still be around somewhere.

If you don't find one for your version of the game, then you could compile one yourself. The change in the source code is extremely easy, but setting up the environment to successfully compile the dll can be tricky. There are good tutorials for that in the modding section though. I used one without prior experience and got the dll compiled within a day.
 
Thank you for the info, but that doesn't really help me with doing it.

Does anyone know where to find one of those 50 civs dlls that he's talking about?

Or one of the tutorials that explains how to do it?
 
1400 AD GEM has the option of having 50 civs
