This page is a part of the Lua and UI Reference (Civ5).

The PlayerID pseudo-type is actually a regular integer. Pseudo-types do not exist in Lua, they only serve a documentation purpose on the wiki!

Usage

You can get a player's ID through Player.GetID().
There is a global Players table that stores all players. Keys are the players' ID and values are Player instances.
The majors civs ID start at 0, up to 21. The minor civs ID start at 22, up to 62. The barbarians always have the ID 63.
Those numbers may change in the future, so use the constants defined in GameDefines (see the constants section below) rather than hard-coded values.

How to retrieve a Player object from an ID:

local pPlayer = Players[playerID]

Enumerating players

Before you invoke a method on a player, ensure that IsEverAlive is true, otherwise Civilzation V will crash. Do not use IsAlive: while it may work sometimes, it does not always prevent a crash.

for id, player in pairs(Players) do
	if player:IsEverAlive() then
		print(id, player:GetName())
	end
end

On a map with two players and two city states this will produce the following output:

0   Wu Zetian
1   Genghis Khan
22  Monaco
23  Geneva
24  Warsaw
63  Barbarian

Built-in constants

You can also use the built-in constants: GameDefines.MAX_PLAYERS (64), GameDefines.MAX_CIV_PLAYERS (63), GameDefines.MAX_MAJOR_CIVS (22) and GameDefines.MAX_MINOR_CIVS (41). See also GameDefines
The following example enumerates major civs only:

for i = 0, GameDefines.MAX_MAJOR_CIVS - 1 do
	if Players[i]:IsEverAlive() then
		print(i, Players[i]:GetName())
	end
end

Code snippets

Here is a function to get a player by its CivilizationType. We then use it to print Wu Zeitan's name.

function GetPlayerByCivilization(civilizationType)
	for _, pPlayer in pairs(Players) do
		if pPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == civilizationType then 
			return pPlayer
		end
	end
end

local chineseCivilizationType = GameInfos.Civilizations.CIVILIZATION_CHINA.ID
local chinesePlayer = GetPlayerByCivilization(chineseCivilizationType)
print(chinesePlayer:GetName())	-- print "Wu Zeitan"
