You undoubtedly want to play as a Single Player, so select "Single Player" in the opening menu. On the next menu, you will see the option, "Custom Game." Select it. You will now be able to specify each of the civilizations. Team 1 will be your chosen civilization. For Teams 2-12, open the pull-down menu in the left-hand column, and select "Closed" for each of the teams. That should leave yours as the only civilization. After you have specified all of your custom settings, click on "Launch!" in the bottom right corner of the screen, and the game will commence.
