I thought it had already been done before? if it isn't even possible and somehow made it into popular belief anyway.

Wouldn't the game just get taken down and re-uploaded with a map edit??

It has definitely not been done before, no.

Editing the map would be tricky because of having to maintain a lot of individual city build data, I think. You could take the save into the world builder and edit out whatever cities and landmasses that needed removing, but when it was saved as a new scenario all the city food and production boxes would be at zero by default, like in a new game. You would be missing, for instance, accumulated great people points and probably other data that I can't remember right now. It would be possible to recreate some of that data, but NH can tell you what a time consuming process doing that sort of thing is since the console doesn't make it very easy for you. And the later in the game it gets, the more impractical that task becomes. In all, it would be very cumbersome task for anyone who tried it that way. I don't know what the other options are, though. .DLL hacking is beyond my knowledge.

Might be easier to have the lurker civ nuke the Atlantis civ back to oblivion, rendering the territory a useless pile of fallout.
If global warming can be disabled, this might actually be a viable option. To avoid the need for worldbuilding, make sure to stock the lurker civ with an ample nuclear arsenal before the game begins...
If you know what I mean.

That is taking the "lurkers are assholes" maxim to a whole new level.
I have to run.

It would be kind of fun, if nothing else. C&D practitioners would have to deal with a bit of a blip for rival best power rating throughout the game, but it wouldn't mess with anyone's graphs since the lurker civ's graphs would never be obtainable anyway.

You seem to have an unusually high pain threshold. It would be easier to give the lurker civ tanks and let them just burn it all down. The tanks would probably also be able to enforce an internationally recognized "open area", too, if we had to …
