One way for sure is this...

#1Load a saved game of yours..

#2Go to Launch Editor..and look where it says EMPIRE..then open that up and go through Civilizations to pick the one you want then close the Launch editor and you shall have that civilization!

#3 When you save the game it will be in same file as your original civ file EXCEPT it will have the new civilization name abbreviation after it..as in say 3745IND for Indonisians in the place of 3745AME for Americans

Thanks, I tried your suggestion, and yes, it did save the file with a different nation letters attached-- I even quit the game & re-started, loaded the new file, but I still have control of my old nation.

Good Luck and Yes..I too have the patch

Lemme try to get it again...
There are 4 possible things on the EMPIRE screen to fuss with.
On the left side of the screen are: the "Player #" "Country" "Leader Name" and on the right hand side, "Player Choice"

What do you do? Leave the "Player #" at "1" and just change the Country? or do you change anything else?

Leave the "Player #" at "1" and just change the Country? or do you change anything else? What I last did was: loaded the game, played a few rounds to make sure none of my troops had movement. Then changed "Country" only, went thru a bunch of more rounds (but still the computer has not given me control of the other country) then I save the game (and it saves it as the other country) then I exit the game, re-load the game and load the saved game. I'm thinking that I have to change the Player# or something else. Anyway... not having any luck with this. Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks again for the help. Tobor7

Yes...I meant to be more specific..change to player #..say 3..which lets say is Romans..and then go through playing a few rounds and then save..it should work then...file will read year followed by roma..then reload that saved file..should now be romans from the saved year!

Good Luck and Happy Civin!
