Increasing Civ Limit

[Oblivionyx]

Is there a way to increase the civ limit in a game from 18? I've seen some patches that do it, but when I download them, the game just stops working...

The way to control the number of players is to alter MAX_CIV_PLAYERS in CvDefines.h and then you compile a new DLL file. If you can't compile yourself, then you have to get one from somebody else.

There is a mod around that increases the civ limit without any other changes to the game.
