cpm, you're going to have to change civs as well. Spain is also DLC.
I checked and even though Heerlo bought the Polynesia DLC the game still says unavailable leader, and I cannot change what DLC is allowed anymore. So that means no Spain. Polynesia, Inca, Mongolia, Denmark or Korea. We will postpone a day if we need to.
Polynesia probably would have been an unbalanced choice on a Terra anyway.
EDIT: Debating between Egypt, Indonesia, Iroquois, Shoshone, and France. That's a big list. If anyone wants one of these don't be afraid to take it. Fewer choices will only help me decide. The big problem for me is who do I want to roleplay as well as play.

PLay as iroquois, it'll be interesting having so many vanilla civs, don't get to see that much 
As Heerlo said, Spain is fine; the game should register it as coming from GnK instead of from the DLC. Note, that's "Should"; there's always a chance it won't work.

It is coming up with the "Unavailable Leader" message. That's the only reason I even remembered Spain was DLC. Even if that is the case, it seems Pitboss is going to treat it as though it is DLC.
Hmmm, shall we try rebooting the Pitboss server, then, and making sure that all DLC (save Polynesia, I guess) is disabled? It's weird, though; that shouldn't be causing problems...

Personally I'm against Polynesia as a civ choice because on a Terra map they have very early access to a central feature of the map. The whole point is that mid-game we will get access to entirely new areas of the map for colonization. If polynesia moves to the new world early on it will ruin the whole appeal of the Terra map type.
I'd rather not restart the game as everyone is in the lobby now. In the pitboss lobby Spain is grouped together with the Inca. I don't know if by enabling Spain it will also require Inca. Which would then mean Heerlo would have to purchase more DLC and the game would be delayed another day. I think we should stick with the original agreed upon rules: no DLC, everyone Prince.

You don't mean King?
Btw, that rule is fine with me. I just didn't want anyone to not be able to use DLC just because of me.
So, the issue is that the game is only registering Spain as being available from the DLC and not GnK (giving Heerlo the "Unavailable Leader" error), and you don't have the Spanish/Inca DLC enabled? Assuming that you can't individually enable/disable Civs, maybe try enabling the DLC and then disabling it again from within the lobby. That might give the game a "nudge" to switch over to use the GnK Spain.
I'm going to have to go run a couple errands shortly, but if the above doesn't work, I'll try quitting the lobby and then relogging. And if that STILL doesn't work, I'll hop in as someone else. That work?

Yes I do 
Yeah, no worries about not using DLC; I'm just confused as to why it's not registering Spain as being from GnK.
Actually, dot, try disabling then reenabling GnK from the lobby, too.

The only thing it is letting me change is the game settings. For some reason the other things are there, I just can't change them. The only way would be to leave the lobby, but everyone would be kicked.

Will just changing the Civ you've selected work? I can do that

Yes everyone is able to change their civ still.

Just a note if DLC is desired and pitboss flatly doesn't allow: Giant Multiplayer Robot will work with DLC (full disclosure: and I could join too, no problem )

Pitboss allows DLC, but I disabled it because we agreed we wouldn't use it so that no one who wanted to play would be left out. The problem is that Spain is counted as DLC in the pitboss client, but I guess is now just apart of the GnK expansion. Cpm and sh3baproject both have chosen DLC civs and so we wont be able to start.
If everyone wants we can use Giant Multiplayer Robot, and/or we restart postponing another day.
EDIT: I'm in favor of not postponing the game anymore. More time we postpone the more this will begin to lose steam. I say sh3baproject and cpm change civs to non-DLC and we start tonight as planned. (Poland is still open cpm, I know you said earlier you wanted to play them.)

Honestly it really isn't a big deal, & postponing again very well could be. I wanted to play Inca, had a developed strategy but couldn't, so I switched. It honestly isn't that hard to not use DLC. I mean we really shouldn't delay or not allow someone else to play just because some people want to play a certain civ.

oh my god did i make heerlo buy polynesia? i feel like a jerk 
the reason i selected polynesia was that i noticed i was able to pick all civs. i was gonna ask heerlo when he got on steam if he had all dlcs. however, i had to go take my dog to the vet. so yea.
and polynesia shall not be your punching bag!!!

I wasn't using Polynesia as a punching bag. While it is a favorite, I was just saying that in the interest of the game it is probably better that no one can use it (others even said they were going to use Polynesia as well). I didn't mean to offend anybody. He was trying to make things run more smoothly, but sadly the game won't let us change it anyway. No need to feel like a jerk.
No problem about not being on or anything. We were just trying to figure out if we needed to start over again or use multiplayer robot. Would you be willing to change to a nonDLC civ and your difficulty level to King?
