Rhye's and Fall of Civilization Unique Powers
From Rhye's Mods Wiki
Introduction
In Rhye's and Fall of Civilizations, each civ has a different unique power that aims to develop the civilization in a historical context. These, therefore, tend to respect what the civilization did in real life. They are included in both the standard Civ 4 and Warlord Expansion civilizations. These replace the leader traits seen in unmodded versions.
Those in italics are Warlords only. Those in bold are BTS only.
