Big games with lotsa nations

[Bluevoss]

Been reading about games with lots of nations, but only see 8 on my panel. Whats the trick to making the more the merrier?

Thanks in advance.

Do you want to know how to restore the nations that were conquered?

If it goes that, it is very simple, use the spy, to motivate a revolt in a city friend or neighbor, if it goes well happened, that city, will become independent of the empire, and it will be your friend, if you give more 1 city, and a little of known. I adore to do that, they become good allies.

If you want to know how to place more than 8 players, that I also wanted, I wanted to play with about 15 - 20 empires, it should be very good.

I'm actually playing a MedMod2 game with about 14 computer opponents.
On the computer I write this message, there is no CTP2 installed, so I can't check out now, but as far as I remember there is a file called USERPROFILE.TXT somewhere in the ctp2-filetree. In this file there is a line which says NumOfPlayers=??? or something similar. Change the number ??? to the number of players you want and .... voila!
In the next game I started after this little adjusting the number I chose appeared in the settings menu at the beginning of the game. Don't try to change it there, because if you do, you will only be offered the usual 2 to 8 players. So simply don't touch this button, start your game and it will work (at least it did on my 'puter)!
I heard some rumors about the computer changing this number while writing something into the userprofile.txt, but so far I had no problems with it. Perhaps this happens, if you play several games in parallel, which I don't.

Hope this works for you too. I really have fun with my game.

Dear PH

It's Very good man,
But, its necessary activate write protection?

I didn't activate write protection, but I heard that this helps, when you have problems with this file.
