Once you have that, you can copy-paste it to all map files. Just make sure you don't ally nations 23-25 with anyone or things could get VERY interesting (23 is independents and 24 and 25 are special monsters).

Right. That's what I was hoping for. "Once you have that". I thought some programmer could whip up something that would count the numbers and write them to a file. I sure don't want to do it manuall.

The problem is that there are gaps in the nation number list and not all nations in a given era are consecutive. E.g. Lanka is 68 and in EA, Eriu is 69 and in MA, Serpent Cult Pythium is 70 and in LA.

Consult the DB for an up to date list and how you need to do them. You are probably going to have to put them manually, unless you want to have everything from all eras allied on a SP map. That last one is easy to automatem just skipping 23, 24 and 25 allying with anything.

All in one would be fine since any that are not in that game would be ignored I think.

Except that would be a LOT of lines. But it would be easier to trim it down than to build it up.

Um. Copy+paste, and increase the numbers by one each time. How hard could it be?

Not hard, but boring. Achieving a boring thing is actually much harder than achieving a hard one.

Even easier; put it into excel. It has an auto increment feature which allows you to drag down a list of cells and increment the contents. You could then manually delete the lines which you did not want.

Cool. Export the whole list to a text file and attach it to this thread please

I don't know about everyone else, but to me this line here sounds like a demand/order that others produce what you need for you, even after you have been provided with instructions, even fairly extensive ones that allow automating a lot of it. That sort of thing gets on the nerves fairly quickly. How about trying your own hand at it?
