Rhye’s and Fall of Civilization
I did it! Finally (as of December 2013) I won the Unique Historical Victory (UHV) in Rhye’s and Fall of Civilization with every single civ. Click through the following pages to learn about the tasks, the civilizations, my strategy and find more resources.
Also you’ll find guides for leading ancient civilizations into modern times. Bottom line that’s half the fun of the mod! First you strive for the UHV which is (as the name says) unique time and time again. Then you lead your empire into modern times. This of course is most fun, when being done with civilizations that didn’t make it in reality: For example the Inca or Aztecs in Latin America, Ethiopia in Africa or the Mongol Empire in Asia. Those who haven’t played this mod might ask: What’s so difficult in just “continuing the game until modern times?” Well, in Rhye’s and Fall your empire has a very important attribute: Stability. This ranges from Very Solid, Solid and Stable over Shaky to Unstable and Collapsing. Unstable civilizations may lose cities to secessions, collapsing civilizations risk a civil war, which leads to losing all cities except the capital (and losing the game if this happens before achieving the UHV).

Rhye’s Wiki and Strategy Guides

Unfortunately something went wrong during the wiki content migration. Thus most of the content is unavailable as of late 2013. The web archive is your friend here! Check out the previous versions of those pages:
Strategy Guides overview:
Most of my strategy guides reference the guides published on this page.
Stability Guide:
In my opinion the most useful things to read. As I suggest playing each civilization for some tries without having read the civ specific strategy, I definitely recommend reading the guide to stability!
Atlas
One of the most valuable things for playing this mod is the Atlas provided by Rhye himself. Using the Atlas you can find the area you need to control for a UHV and see the spawn area of new civilizations. For example you don’t want to settle your new Roman city right in a spot that belongs to Germany in a few turns. You can find the Atlas here:

Will you make guides on rhyes and fall when it comes out for civ 5 this year.
Woah! I totally would and will, but where did you get your news from? I haven’t read any of that in neither forums, nor reddit or else. Post a link, I’ll follow up! Geeez, I might even shout out my excitement via https://www.facebook.com/kalle.online.net/ and put some Civ5 content there 😉
