Rhye’s and Fall of Civilization<\/h1>\n

\"Rhye's<\/a>I did it! Finally (as of December 2013) I won the Unique Historical Victory <\/em> (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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> or Aztecs<\/a> in Latin America, Ethiopia<\/a> in Africa or the Mongol Empire<\/a> 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<\/em> and Stable <\/em>over Shaky<\/em> to Unstable <\/em>and Collapsing<\/em>. 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).<\/p>\n

Non-playable Civilizations<\/h3>\n

Aside from the Barbarians there’s three non-playable civilizations in Rhye’s and Fall:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

\"Rhye'sCeltia<\/h2>\n

You will meet Celtia when playing Rome<\/a> and Greece<\/a> as they’re spread across Central- and Northern Europe during ancient times. Nonetheless: Compared to Barbarians they’re only a minor threat.<\/td>\n

\n

\"Rhye'sNative<\/h2>\n

The Natives are introduced to represent various tribes in Africa and Northern America. In Northern America they pester you with Dog Soldiers (+50% vs. melee), which is annoying as the Aztecs<\/a> will have mainly melee units. In Africa you will have to deal with rampaging Impis, ignoring terrain movement costs. They can move 3 tiles every turn and will destroy your Egyptian<\/a>, Ethiopian<\/a> and Mali<\/a> infrastructure if not properly defended.<\/td>\n

\n

\"Rhye'sIndependent<\/h2>\n

Independent empires and units are no threat. They are playing passively and do only defend. There will be multiple Independent nations. When big empires collapse their cities become independent. Sometimes larger areas belong together in that case. Nonetheless they only pose a threat to your air force: Their land units (all units of the collapsing empire) won’t march on you even while you’re at war with this Independent nation. Their jet fighters WILL intercept your attacking airplanes even if you’re attacking another civilization (e.g. after the collapse of Germany<\/a> your Dutch<\/a> jet fighters attack Paris).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Resources<\/h1>\n

Rhye’s Wiki and Strategy Guides<\/h2>\n

http:\/\/rhye.civfanatics.net\/<\/a>
\nUnfortunately 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:<\/p>\n

Strategy Guides overview:<\/h3>\n

http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090513020807\/http:\/\/rhye.civfanatics.net\/wiki\/index.php?title=Strategy_guides<\/a><\/p>\n

Most of my strategy guides reference the guides published on this page.<\/p>\n

Stability Guide:<\/h3>\n

http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090414062458\/http:\/\/rhye.civfanatics.net\/wiki\/index.php?title=Rhye%27s_and_Fall_of_Civilization_guide_to_stability<\/a><\/p>\n

In my opinion the most useful things to read. As I suggest playing each civilization for some tries without <\/strong>having read the civ specific strategy, I definitely recommend reading the guide to stability!<\/p>\n

Atlas<\/h2>\n

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:<\/p>\n
