You can change the defaults in the XML. Copy this file:
C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the
Sword\Assets\XML\GameInfo\CIV4GameOptionInfos.xml
to here:
C:\Do***ents and Settings\[Your Username]\My Do***ents\My Games\Beyond
the Sword\CustomAssets\xml\gameinfo
then look for these lines:
<GameOptionInfo>
<Type>GAMEOPTION_NO_TECH_BROKERING</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_TECH_BROKERING</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_TECH_BROKERING_HELP</Help>
<bDefault>0</bDefault>
<bVisible>1</bVisible>
</GameOptionInfo>
Change the bDefault to 1. That should enable the setting in all
games, unless you disable it in a custom game.
There is also GameOptions setting in the INI file, like so:
; Game Options
GameOptions = 00000000000000000000000
Each digit corresponds to a setting (0=off, 1=on), but I'm afraid I
don't know which digit corresponds to which setting. 'No tech
brokering' was added in BTS, so I'd guess it's towards the end.
What this does is enable the setting for you when you start a custom
game. If you do a quick or normal start, the ini setting will get
overwritten with the default settings in the XML.
