Your Opponents

Along the top of this screen are slots for the other civilizations that will be in the game.
Using these, you can control how many competitors you face and—within limits—who
they are.You can set each slot to one of three states:

•

means that no civilization is in that slot. If you want to play against fewer

than the maximum number of competitors, close a few slots.

•

A Filled slot contains the name of a specific civilization that you’ve selected.This
guarantees that the tribe you chose will be in the game when it starts.

•

is the option to use when you don’t want to close the slot, but you don’t

want to choose a specific civilization either. The game will choose an opponent
for you.
