Play as more civs in the conquests?

[HayRoss]

I was wondering if it was at all possible to play as some of the normally unavailable civs in the Conquest scenarios. Like playing as the Dutch in Napoleonic Europe, or the Rus in the Middle ages scenarios, or one of the barbarian tribes in Rise of Rome. Any thoughts on how I could accomplish this?

Yes you just open the conquest BIQ file in the editor located in Conquests/Conquests, and go to Scenario Properties, and then the Players Tab and tick Human Player flag on the civs that dont have it ticked on the top right of the window box.

You can also play more than one civilization in a game if you go to Multiplayer Hot-Seat, and have different names for yourself to play. I have done that in the WW2 scenario to better coordinate the Allied Efforts, while also playing the Dutch, along with the British and the Americans. However, since you have modified the BIQ file, it will not qualify for Hall of Fame purposes.
