This question has been running through my head this afternoon. What's the worst thing that happens to anybody in the game? My first thought was the wife of the captain in the Radiant Guard scenario's Infernal ending, the rape by diseased corpses. That's hideous. But I might have to...

This is just an idea I'd like to throw out there. Curious about what people think about its usefulness and possibility. Idea When a player encounters something new--civ, leader, unit, building, unique feature, etc.--a tech-style popup appears with the pedia entry. The popup would show the...

I've had enough with tip-toeing around scenario spoilers. Here's a FFH parody of the "Spoilt" t-shirt. Spoilers for all the scenarios :lol:: Giant version also attached. Lemme know what you think. Design feedback very welcome.

The beautiful BEAUTIFUL artwork of Daniel Dociu is featured prominently in the new Guild Wars 2 trailer (as he is the main concept artist). We FfH fans are very familiar with his work. This is an exciting day for GW fans as the first trailer has been released for 2, so I'd like to honor this...

Just sharing an idea here. I was thinking the Balseraphs could use a war elephant UU or graphic, a twisted circus elephant. Then I thought, why not for all the animals? I doubt the Bals would see any difference in riding a horse and riding any other animal they catch. Gorilla piggybackers...

This is a list of unique items that are still missing lore entries in the pedia. I wanted to get some idea of the scope of how much of the world is covered by the pedia. I don't know the team's writing priorities, but maybe this can get things moving to get the pedia closer to completion. I...

But seriously, is Col. good? I haven't played any other form of Civ4 since discovering FFH, except Final Frontier in small doses. What does Col. bring to the meta, and is there anything FFH could take advantage of? There are awesome modders here and I won't put it past them to bring FFH to...

I'm looking for a little clarification about this word. It's easy enough to know the meaning from its usage, but what's our definition here? Is it the god's ara over their subjects or the subjects' ara? Does the ara extend to all of a god's precept or just the archangel? Is the ara power...

Slow day at work meant busy fingers. I don't know how interested people are in comparative/particular mythology, but I've been running this through my head for a while now. I've mostly been caught up on the apparent lack of a trickster figure within the game's mythology. One reason for this...

Did Perpentach leave the Palus corporeally or abandon his body? The pedia is ambiguous about that: I understand it as Perpentach escaping into the minds of the people as the stress of the battle weakens them, and he leaves his current body (which is Number We-Will-Never-Know) in the...

Is it time for a modmod index? It's getting really muddled in there. Also, would a thread for new players be useful? FFH is daunting, even to CIV4 veterans. The FAQ thread addresses a few common issues people have, but doesn't really tell players what they can expect in this mod. It would...

Ruminating on "What is a Doviello City?" and BCalchet's musings on Sheaim society, I've been wondering what it is like for women living in different societies around Erebus. If their history is anything like ours, then women across the civilizations have probably put up with some dumb-assed...

This is just a simple image replacement for the main menu background. I don't find anything wrong with the real one, this one's just a little less in-your-face. It's by Hexagonian, found in this thread. All you have to do is extract to your FFH folder and replace when it asks you to.

Just wanted to pass along a beautiful painting I came across. I think you'll find some familiar images in it. Be sure to check out the rest of her stuff too. http://www.epilogue.net/cgi/database/art/view.pl?id=114291

I was reading an excellent book called Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve and it got me thinking about the role of the reader as moral agent, and then that of the player as moral agent in games. Civ 4 is an example of this working, and Fall from Heaven expands on those aspects. I started thinking...

Has there been any discussion about making the seas more dangerous? Why are there never any barbarian ships? The game would improve from having barb ships attacking your coastal cities and water units and improvements. How about incorporating this into any or all of the ways barbs are created...

I'm indexing the lore compendium and have realized that the quote to Strength of Will is attributed to Gaelan Sedracious, Mage Elder. Typo or different person? Thanks :)

Fall from Heaven Lore Compendium, Second Edition My goal is to compile the loreful bits of the pedia into something that can be read with both leisure and pleasure. I find the format of the in-game or online pedia keeps the reading from flowing well--the xml text file is almost easier to read...

During college I worked in the library's archives, taking care of 100-500 year old Bibles (and a copy of The Iliad in Greek and Latin from 1561). I was also taking bookmaking classes, and during my lonely and oxygen-deprived hours in the top floor of the library I dreamed up place where the dead...

Possible? I think some mutiny events would be great, or perhaps following regicide, if that were implemented. Lore-wise there seem to be founding leaders and additional leaders for most civilizations. Like Grey Fox's Commanding Officers project, mutiny could be a way to add some sense of...
