More than 8 civs

[Pembleton]

I definitely have enough cpu (P3 1Ghz) to run the AI since right now it only takes a few seconds in the late game with graphics of opponent off. My question is whether playing with more than 8 will change the game balance or dynamics. I believe the AI is pretty bad as it is, but if it doesn't worsen significantly than I will try it since I still have fun playing against the dismal AI.

I play at hard because I think the only way to win at harder difficulties on huge maps is with fascism, but I prefer to win scientifically.

Hell, I just wanna know how you can play with more than eight civs; I can' make it work. Please help!

There's a thread in CtP2 - Help called '8+ cities' that contains information on how to increase the number of civs.
