Changes in diplomacy.txt
For each of the #AI_Section with #civ=1 parameter add by followed formula
(thanks for Dan Magaha)
(3 if #power == true ) (3 if #mood == true )
number of lines = (N * #civ) * ( or ) * ( or ) * #random
(1 if #pover == false) (1 if #mood == false)
Notes:
NN -- Total number of civs
N = (NN - 16) -- Number extra civs
In followed table:
...
#AIFIRSTCONTACT 16 + 1 * N (add 1*N lines)
...
#AIDEMANDTRIBUTE 48 + 3 * N
...
#AIFIRSTCONTACT -- means the label of entry
for #AIFIRST...
16 -- number of lines in standard diplomacy.txt file
1*N --- number of extra lines for new civs per number of extra civs, for example for 2 extracivs 1*2 = 2 new lines
for #AIDEMAND...
48 -- number of lines in standard diplomacy.txt file
3*N --- number of extra lines for new civs per number of extra civs, for example for 2 extracivs 3*2 = 6 new lines sorted per civs, per 3 power, per 3 moods by #random
