Rhye's and Fall of Civilization: Europe
From Rhye's Mods Wiki
RFC Europe (or Rhye's of Europe) is the working title for a modcomp (mod of a mod) being developed by members of the CivFanatics RFC board which adapts Rhye's and Fall of Civilization to a Medieval European setting. If successful it is envisaged to be the first of several modcomps.
This page will serve as a central repository for plans, utilities and finished work.

The short names specified here are definitive in terms of referring to the civ in code.
See Civs list for details.
Civics
We are re-organizing and re-doing many of the base Civics in the game. See details at Civics page
Corporations
These are:
- The Medici Bank
- The Ausburg Banking Families
- The Bank of St. George
- The Hanseatic League
- Templars, Hospitallers
- Teutonic Knights.
We also included The West India Company and the East India Company as Colonial projects which enable the building of colonies. See details at Corporations page.
Religions
The final religions are: Islam, Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox. Judaism is a special religion.
Resources
We will be adding some new resources and removing inappropriate ones. See details at Resources page.
Map spreadsheet
An excel spreadsheet of the current map is available here: http://wikirhye.wikidot.com/local--files/rhyes-of-europe/RFCe_Nov25_Blank.ods
This was created using a small python script to convert the WorldBuilder Save into a .CSV file which can be opened in a spreadsheet application such as OpenOffice Calc. The following Excel macro was then used to format the output until a readable map (this is included in the .xls above):

City name maps
We are currently working on developing maps for each civ specifying what their cities will be called if founded there. If you have a little time to spare researching Medieval European cities we would greatly appreciate your help on this. See this thread for details.
Some notes:
- Cities should occupy a space approximately 2x2 squares. Any further resolution is unnecessary.
- Cities should be named according to their native language.
- Be as broad as possible: any areas historically controlled by the civ should be covered in the city name map.
- Ensure the cities are appropriate for our time period and not industrial cities.
Settler Maps
These maps tell the AI where to settle and influence the stability of cities founded on these spots. They can be found on the pages for individual Civs in the table near the top of this page. Currently, initial maps are available for all civs.
Colonies and Colonial Projects
Colonies have been included because the map is only European and colonies played an important part in Europe. One of the 2 Colonial Projects is required for the building of each colony. Here is the current list that those already in the game.
Colonial Projects
- West India Company
- East India Company
- Aztec Conquest
- Inca Conquest
Colonies
- Brazil
- Cuba
- Capetown
- East Africa
- East indies
- Gold Coast
- Hispaniola
- Ivory Coast
- Hudson Bay
- Malaya
- Virginia
- Jamaica
- Louisiana
- New England
- Panama
- Phillipines
- Quebec
- Far Eastern Treaty Ports (3)
- Indian Trading Posts (3)
Plagues
We currently have 5 plagues with these approximate starting dates:
- 540 Justinian's Plague
- 750 Plague of Constantinople
- 1341 Black Death
- 1650 Great Plague
- 1740 Small Pox
Crusades
We currently have 5 crusades events with approximate dates starting in 1098
Independents
These are the suggested independents:
- Black:Barb
- Grey: Germannics
- Brown: Slavic
- Pink: Mediterrean (since the eastern ones will flip quickly its really only the westerns that count).
- Dark Green: Celtic
There is much debate going on about them, so there will be cities added/dropped out.
