Useful links and lists

For all beginners, and even players who have been playing RFC. I got most of this stuff from the forums, but it is scattered, and so difficult to find. So read on
1.The Wiki
I've heard many players complain that the wiki cannot be accessed for the strategy guides. So here is the link, accessed via a web archive. Warning-Edits cannot be made.

• Dynamic Civ Names
  One of the distinguishing features of Rhye's and Fall of Civilization is the dynamic civ names function. This function allows your civilization's name to change automatically as it progresses through history, grows or shrinks, changes governments and civics or adopts a state religion. A list of all the dynamic names for RFC follows.
  Link
• RFC Changelog
  RFC has included many updates and patches, so here is a list of all of those.
  Link
• RFC-BtS Timeline Comparison
  Rhye's and Fall of Civilization features a different timeline, which enhances the classical age and shortens the modern and future eras. Tech costs are rebalanced accordingly. Also, turn 0 in RFC is 3000BC, 1000 years after BtS's 4000BC. So this leads to a change in year-turn synergy. So this list sorts it out.

2.The RFC Atlas by Zetetic and Thonnas
Most new players don't know about this atlas. It shows spawn areas, and even UHV areas. Essential if you are going for the UHVs.
Link

3.City Atlas by Morff
An in depth version of the above atlas, shows the plot yields, and all kinds of terrain. Also shows the city names, for different civs.
Link
And the thread.

4.Desktop Atlas by lzd
A combination of all the all the features of the above atlases, and no loading times since you can just download it!
Link
And the thread.

5.Resource Appearing List from Resources.py
In RFC, some resources are dynamic. For example cows appear in the New World in 1600AD, and horses appear in the Americas in 1700AD. The below list shows all dynamic resources.

Code:

6.Conqueror's List from Riseandfall.py
In RFC, the first old world civ to make contact with a new world civ gets free units, 'conquerors'. Below is a list of different units you will get in the conquerors event[it varies with your technologies and civ].

Code:

RFC veterans, suggestions are welcome on any more stuff that needs to be included here.

 

thanks, very useful!

 

Added the dynamic civ names list.

You're welcome

 

AWESOME. You can't believe how frustrated I've been for the last months for not being able to access the wiki. Great work

 

I laughed so damn hard at that

You're welcome

 

Moderator Action: Thread stuck.
Seems this is too useful to be not on the top .

 

Thanks for mentioning my pathetic city atlas

 

Of course not, with the new changes you've made[the resources, civs and various other stuff], it is excellent for reference
The only problem is that my connection is slow, and it takes a couple of minutes to load.

 

Akbarthegreat: i know, the size is very unreasonable, but i don't have time to rewrite the html part, but maybe someday :]
But you can save the page as it is and use it "offline" as is, it's just "static" html, however if you click on "star" the informations about city are readed in the background with javascript, but it's really small amount of data.

 

Thanks for getting the link to the wiki up, doing the Chinese UHV atm and it is very useful to gauge how many turns are left to pump out units and temples. Maybe have a direct link to the timeline in the OP?

http://web.archive.org/web/20100725000540/http://rhye.civfanatics.net/wiki/index.php?title=Rhye%27s_and_Fall_of_Civilization_timeline

 

Added, thanks.

 

The Desktop Atlas should really be in this list.

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=416285

 

Thanks, added.

 

Is there a link to the blank RFC map?

 

You can use the Atlas to view the whole map.

If you want a link to download the blank map, I'm afraid it doesn't exist.
