Rhye's and Fall of Civilization

Rhye's and Fall of Civilization is an expansion to the computer game Civilization IV. The expansion is a built into the main module "Beyond the Sword".

Rhye's and Fall of Civilization is set on the planet Earth and is designed to mirror historical Earth as closely as possible. A player can start the game in either 3000 BC or 600 AD. If starting as an ancient power, such as the Roman Empire, the game is designed to simulate the historical collapse of these empires itno newer states. For instance, Rome breaks apart in the 400 ADs into France, Germany, Spain and an independent Italian kingdom. The British Empire of the Middle Ages, if expanding in North America, will hav emost of this territory become the United States of America in 1776 AD.

Players can also "change history" and play a nation to an end that did not occur in the real world. Germany, for instance, is capable of winning World War II and controlling most of Europe. The United States and Russia may also engage in nuclear warfare. Middle Eastern nations, such as Persia and Egypt become very aggressive in the 20th century and attack and start wars for little reason. A fanatical middle eastern nation with nuclear weapons is also a very real possibility.
