Inquiry - Rhyes and Fall

[TheMarshmallowBear]

Given that Civ 4 hates me right now and refuses to work on Steam for god knows what reason.

And given that Rhye's and Fall is one of the most beautiful mods ever.. well, you know, it's very ambitious.

The one thing I know is that Rhye attempted to make a Civ 5 version but never got around because of the engine's limitations and personal struggles to get it working.

So the question is.

Now. after 5 years of the game, is it possible to actually do it?

I mean, We have mods that complete partial aspects of the mod, we have the Historical Starting Dates.

We have revolutions and city flipping

And given the amazing lua scripters..

Is it actully possible? And if it is, is the mod copy righted by Rhye and that's the reason why no one has started work on it?

It was possible since the beginning, for the most part, it's much easier to do since we have access to the C++ code.

But it's still a huge mod to convert, like a full time job for one person during months.

The ultimate goal behind most of my mods (YnAEMP, Cultural Diffusion, Revolutions, Historical Spawn Dates) was to make a framework for a dynamic history (or should we say PGH now ) in Civ5, but I've kind of burnt out trying to maintain too many mods (and big ones) at the same time. I've learned the lesson, and I'm more focused now. Sadly (for you) it's not on this part of my mods ATM.

But the code is available, we also have framework for city name on TSL, we only miss coders with the will and time do to so.

I guess a lot of people are also waiting for this MOD. This will make Civ 5 into a much greater game....
