Rhyes and Fall of Civilization

I've been playing this mod for a while, and it really is what Civ was supposed to be. Basically, its a history simulator, accurately simulating history from 3000 BC on. Unlike normal Civ4, where the Americans start out with the Aztecs, in this mod only 3 civs (4 in the warlords version) start out in 3000 B.C. The rest spawn at certain times, often within the borders of an already established civilization. For example, in Europe Rome can gain dominance until about the Middle Ages when hrodes of barbarians start comign in, and France, Germany, Spain, and England all decide to spawn. The result is historical play, that allows you to relive and change history, since the game is dynamic. There is also a "stability system", which causes some unstable civilizations to spontaneusly collapse. (Think the Roman Empire, or the Soviet Union), while the rebirth system allows them to be reborn later (think Indian independence). The mod is for both Warlords and vanilla, so give it a spin!

That looks a lot like an idea I had for a mod a while back.  Unfortunately, I can't find the threat - it must have been deleted, or I'm just really bad at looking for things.  Anyway, it's awesome that somebody actually made a mod like this, and I'm sure it lives up to its hype.

Not hard... you unzip the file into your Warlords (or Vanilla if you download that version) MODS folder. Then you start Warlords (or Vanilla), select "Advanced", then "Load a Mod" and select it from the list. When the game restarts you go to scenarios and choose your civ and difficulty.

Note, the map is the Huge Earth map, so it could cause problems for those whose computer can't handle the larger maps.

Darn...

Well, I'm still gonna give it a try when I have the time, but I doubt I'd be able to enjoy it at the speed my computer will process it.

Rhye's mod for C3C was quite good, although it soundsl like this one is a more extensive mod.

I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager.   And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

Yeah, I don't know about that. NEver tried the Civ3 Mod.

I fired up a game this morning after downloading it, and ended up playing much longer than I had intended.

Played as the Persians, and settled around Iran and central asia. Conquered some barbarians and independent tribes all the way to Israel and Eastern Asia Minor. .

Then out of no where the Arabs appear with their Islam and Camel Archers. They stormed Israel and destroyed a new city in central Asia Minor. I stopped them cold at Baghdad though, and built up my forces and recaptured Israel and reestablished presence on the Asia Minor. Now, the Russian and Mali civilization has recently emerged, We've just captured Mecca and are ready to take over the Arabian peninsula and do some nation building!

Fun game!
