Possible to adjust # of Civs per Map size?

[Huaojozumakurwa]

I like creating unusual scenarios by placing non-standard amount of civs on a map. I would, for example, like to play with 8 civs on a Tiny map. However, the game only allows 6.

This sounds like it could just be a value stored somewhere in a xml. Anyone has any advice?

Look in MapSizes.xml

Yes, that may a constant somewhere in an XML. But there may be other parameters interfere with what you want.
The logic placing the civs on the map, may need to be adjusted with other interfering parameters to find suitable solutions.

I changed the huge map size and set the players to 24 and had no problem,(except for slightly longer turn processing), I also lowered the number of city states since I had more civs.

I did this and it respects the player count but setting the CS min max default doesn't seem to work. Is anyone else having this issue?

Did you also change the default number?
Also in assignstartingplots.lua:
self.iDefaultNumberMinor = math.floor(iDefaultNumberPlayers * 1.5);

Thanks for that LUA reference. I am not able to test right now but do you think this would tie it to the variable in MapSizes.xml

self.iDefaultNumberMinor = MapSizes.DefaultCityStates

Since DefaultCityStates is only in that lua and the mapsizes(and on scenario xml) I would imagine so
