Hello. I,ve actually played rhyse and fall of civilization for quite a while now, but I havent bothered to create an acount. So this is my first post a civfanatics. ;)

Anyway I was wondering some of these ideas could work on Rhyse and fall:

1.Adding brennus as the first leader for the germans as he looks a lot like frederick Barbarossa of the "Holy" "Roman" "Empire". ;)


2.Instead of scrapping Judaism why not just add another one - like Zorastrianism it could be founded by monarchy (The persians almost always get it first) you even have the icons and buildings ready-made I beleive they are in the "Greek World" scenario - which is conveniantly made by Rhye.
It will also stop persia converting to hinduism/buddhism or a judaism dominated middle-east.


3a.There is currently a great saddam leader -ead which would just be great for Babylon/Iraq- cant give the link but just poke around in the downloads section and you should be able to find it.

3.In fact it would be fantastic if you could get just 3more leaderheads Nasser for Egypt and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini for Iran, mustafa kemal for turkey and you could have a (Relatively) modern middle-east set!


4.Since Rhye has managed to get leaderheads to change over time why not nation-names? If it were possible you could just add that much to the immersion of the game - someexamples: Persian Empire/Parthian Empire/Sassanid Empire/Kwharazam Empire/Iranian empire - or Seljuk Empire/Ottoman Empire/Turkish Empire - you get the picture.

This really isnt an idea but could rhye please fix up the religons in my games half the time greece founds christianity, egypt occassionly founds judaism and before christ the western civilized world is Jewish!

Also I think global warming should be trigered by things other than nucluer (spelt wrong I know) missiles. It should also be more severe. In fact could replace the plague in some ways (Big bad punishment for being lax in certain areas.)


Now my last idea is probally asking for to much but I cant keep to myself any longer - ISRAEL -:eek: Now Im no zionist but honestly the middle east today would be an very differnt place without it and its hardly been a point in its 70 or so year history that it hasnt been in the spotlight - six day war, golan hights, death threats its had the lot. (Please keep partisan discussion about israel out of this thread unless its relevant to game disccussion. ) I just dont see how you can make a realistic middle east without israel as a faction.

Perhaps its goals could be:
1.Survive until 2050 Ad (Make most of the middle-eastern nations furious with them upon spawning)
2. Controll sinai, lebanon and syria by 2040 Ad (This may be a bit controversial)
3. Rebuild temple of solomon. (Script to be destroyed whenever urshalism is taken by a major faction, would also nerf judaism spread to make more realistic)

Phew, long post!
Well thats all for now, sorry if I got a bit carried away:mischief: . I would love to get some feedback!

I think it's very hard to make something like that, because it's an old idea ;)


There are many more important civs, like Poland :D

1.Survive until 2050 Ad (Make most of the middle-eastern nations furious with them upon spawning)

If you won't survive you'll lose a game, so this goal isn't the best.

3. Rebuild temple of solomon.

Is rebuilding a shrine possible?

In any case- if Israel would be in I would like more Ancient goals...

Well in my opinion Israel has made much bigger contributions to the world compared to poland. The biggest polands ever been was a particular strong buffer state between russia and germany. Besides can you imagine how differently the middle east would have turned out without Israel?

Ps. Im no big Israel supporter I just think you cant have a modern middle east without it. Besides it would be fun trying to survive against all the odds when all your neighbors hate you - wouldnt it?

ps. about poland - was it ever a major power? and if it was in civ4 who would its leader be? All I know is they would have to a defensive civilzation.
 
Poland was for quite long period much stronger than Russia. Poland won Battle of Vienna (one of most important reasons of collapsing Ottoman Empire), Battle of Grunwald (biggest battle of medieval), Battle of Warsaw (1920- 18th most important battle in history). I agree that Poland wasn't the best conquerors but in RFC Poland have to be counted together with Lithuania. Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoDaRkPUH5E&mode=related&search=
 
I would like to see Poland in mod of RFCW ;) Goals: Control Russia in 1610 AD (Poland, as the only nation in history conquered Moscow), Each city controlled in 1610 AD (or later if it would be too hard) has got Sejmik (UB [courthouse]) (liberum veto [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberum_veto] destroyed Poland :/ ), No city lost to Germans before 1950 AD (Poland was having wars with Germany since 1002 AD). UB, UU, leader, etc. from Polish Empire mod ;)
 
please, new civs are out of question, aren't they? The mod is mostly finished....isn't it?
 
Rhye has said and many other people have repeated, there will be no more civs added. :nono:
 
Austria and/or Brazil are a better choice :) Even Ethiopia ( just kidding, don't start a flame war please xD... well, they were in the CIV3 RFC version o_O )

All the ideas are good, ( i don't know about Israel... mainly because i know nothing about it! Kill me! >_<" ) but Rhye isn't putting new things, now is just bugfixing...
 
1. he doesn't look enough similar imho

2. the problem is: lack of buildings

3. lack of leaderheads! And Babylon isnt Iraq

4. i don't have time right now to do that

5. I agree Israel is important, but is a single-city civ worth an additional civ slot?

Sorry what does "imho" stand for?

"2. the problem is: lack of buildings"

NO! There is a mod called "total realism" i dont like it overall but is has some really fantastic features that could be included - Like ZORASTRIANISM, really it wouldnt take long at all it already has the buildings the sounds an new tech (Dualism) and movie.

I did it myself in under an hour and Im a civ modding n00b.

"3.lack of leaderheads! And Babylon isnt Iraq"

Well if "England" becomes the united kingdom I dont see a problem.
besides, that pile of rubble that was once bagdad before "the war on terrorism" was also once Babylon - exept it became a buffer city between sassanid persia and Byzantium and was a bombed (Forgive the analogy I know its anachronistic) out small village by the time the Arabs/Muslims were on the scene, BUT when the Arabs took it sometime in 740s AD they figured it was a good spot, renamed it Bahgdad and made it their capital under the Abbasids (I think it was the Abbasids) and it once again made it a glorious and cultured city - until the mongols sacked it in the 1300s, was sacked agian by timur, then captured by the ottomans, took back by the arabs in world war 1, then snatched by the british (Or was it french) in world war 2, re-re-re-took by the arabs again, then sacked by america, and it will probally end up been re-re-re-re-took by Arabs again. Hopefully it will not have to be sacked again, perhaps by Iran this time.

Sorry a bit long winded, but you get my point. By the way the Saddam leaderhead can be found here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=193396

4. What are you working on your "secret project" a.k.a beyond the sword. Lol.
Besides what "secret project" (Other than BtS) be better than RFC?

5. You could expand the palestine area which would be a good idea even if Israel wont be added because so many important events and civilizations were crammed there like europe. For expample Phonecians, Jews, Philistines, Syrians, Kurds, Philistines (lol), arabs, palmyrans ect.
Also very important events such as: the battle of kadesh, The founding of 2 world religons, the crusades, and the Arab-Israeli wars ok most of them bad but still - isnt most history?

With a larger area there could be Important cities like Tyre, Hebron, Beirut, and judea.

You dont have enough time? -Oh well maybe in a modcomp...


PS. How do I add smilies in replies?

Nah... don't like the idea. A Expanded Iberia is better :p

Sorry what does "imho" stand for?

IMHO (In My Humble Opinion)
