It can't really be this easy, can it?

[Dom Pedro II]

This image is taken from the CvDefines.h from the SDK... as you can see, it has MAX_CIV_PLAYERS with 18... now... it could not possibly be this easy to change the maximum number of players, could it?

 

[snarko]

It could, but it isn't. The number 18 is also used by the exe (or some other file) which we don't have access to the source of and can't easily change.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Ah, well, that clears that up then...

 

[Gerikes]

I was thinking the same thing when I saw it, and was gonna' try it out but figured someone already did. So, you're not alone in your theory

 

[dalek master]

no. They will make it possible to add more civs with warlords though, so pre-order it if you have a burning desier

Rhye told us the same thing about Warlords and the max civ cap changing.
