Is there a way to swap the civilizations around so that the Norse and the Egyptians are Greek factions, eg. they have all the same units and the same buildings but retain their gods?
I want to do this so that I can create more Greek Major gods and include new minor ones, for a massive map of Greece.

You'd have to do a lot of techtree editing. I mean a lot

Well....I had a look at the files like the techtree and the majorgods etc.....
I could swap them around so that the factions had new gods but I couldn't get them to change buildings etc.
I think it has something to do with something called their civilization, but I can't find any file that actually defines their civs.
One option I considered was swapping all the anims and protox stuff so that the buildings and units were all greek.....but that would take a while and with some anims like the watch towers, it's quite unclear where each civ begins.
I have now problem changeing the names etc, but that's kinda useless if they still look like the original faction.

I don't think the civs are defined anywhere editable. They are what they are, I'm pretty sure they're hardcoded. But that doesn't change very much, you don't need the civs for very much, and changing it wouldn't change that much.
