Rhye’s and Fall of Persia<\/h1>\n

Playing Persia was incredibly much fun! It was one of the last civs I completed Rhye’s and Fall Unique Historic Victories with and I wonder why I kept it for the end (early 2014). I remember having played it before and having had difficulties dealing with Arabia<\/a> and later with Mongolia<\/a>… Fundamental mistakes had been made – we’ll get to that.<\/p>\n

Persia’s unique historic victory conditions are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Control 8% of world territory by 600 AD<\/li>\n
  2. Control 7 world wonders<\/a> by 700 AD<\/li>\n
  3. Control 2 holy city shrines in 700 AD<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    None of these are any problem – World Wonders are abundant in Mesopotamia and around, as well as holy cities. Controlling much territory is directly related to overwhelming your nearby opponents (and thus: survival).<\/p>\n

    Unique Power<\/h1>\n

    Satrapy: +2 additional Stability Points for each city conquered.<\/p>\n

    This is a brilliant treat for Rhye’s and Fall of Civilization. I managed to survive veeery long with Persia, even researching several Future Techs.<\/p>\n

    Unique Building – Pharmacy<\/h2>\n

    Unique Unit – Immortals<\/h2>\n

    \"Rhye's<\/p>\n

    Persian Immortals have a +100% bonus against axeman and +50% against archers. This gives them 6 combat strength against the early cities West (Babylon) and East (India) of your rising empire. Furthermore Immortals are incredibly cheap and your capital will be able to mass-produce them! All in all a very good unique unit for Rhye’s and Fall Persia.<\/p>\n

    Persian Strategy<\/h1>\n

    The Persian strategy mainly relies on conquest. Similarly to the Roman Empire you’ll extend your realm and centralize government (and wealth), providing your capital with a never seen number of world wonders!<\/p>\n

    Here’s as quick summary:<\/p>\n
