You can change both the HoF and renaming in-game. I have yet to see a command about the research setting in the mapmodding file however; hopefully it has been forgotten in the documation, and does exist, but I am not positive about this.

Actually, just removing the #scenario flag seems to work fine. It allows you to set up all standard settings as usual, without removing the special commanders/starting sites. Make sure not to disable "Special starting locations" however, and it *should* work out. I was also beaten to it in this contest of cross-edits. *Waves at the poster below*
