You could make a mod, but if you don't want to go though all the trouble you could do this:

Go to : Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meiers's Civilization\Assets\XML\Civilizations

(Note: If you have any expansions installed you have to go into that folder instead. ie Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meiers's Civilization\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML\Civilizations

Now make a copy of "CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml".

Right click on the original, Open With, Notepad.

Find the civilization you want to play and the go to the "<DefaultPlayerColor>" line. You can change it to one of the other colors that are allowed. Then save it and start your game.

If you have any problems or want to go back, you can just delete the file and replace it with the copy you made.

Perhaps someone else has some insight, but I don't think this is possible.

Hey everyone i have a quick question. I want to change the color my civilization uses. I usually use the french and it is always blue, but i would really like a different color. Is this even possible, is there a script or something i can run. thanks
