Let Us Play... Fall From Heaven (With mods!)
« on: November 14, 2009, 06:41:28 pm »

Test. Test. This thing on? OK, good. First, a question. How many of you have heard of Civilization 4? All right, I'm assuming that a good portion of you have. Now, take all that knowledge of Civ 4... and throw it out the window. We're playing Fall From Heaven, one of the best mods for Civ4 I've ever played. In addition, we're playing a mod for Fall From Heaven called Fall Further which adds like 9 extra civs. On top of THAT, we're also playing a mod for Fall Further called Rise From Erebus which just makes it even better. Now, what is Fall From Heaven? Its a dark (very, very, VERY dark) fantasy mod for CIV. It has magic, elves, golems, vampires, werewolves, and DORFS!

And now: Our story begins. First off, I inquire you my fellows, whom shall we lead to glory?
The vanilla civs:
 
In addition, Fall Further adds nine new civs, which unfortunately I don't have a fancy picture for. So you'll have to settle for a basic description.
Archos: Worship spiders and want to release the Mother spider.
Austrin: Explorers of the world banded together.
Chislev: Tribal people who despise the orcs.
Cualli: The evil lizardmen where the strongest survive.
Dural: They celebrate all of their creations.
Jotnar: The giant-kin, one leader for each alignment
Kahdi: Followers of Khad, who follows a god. But not the one he thinks.
Mazatl: Good lizardmen dedicated to stopping Armageddon.
Scions of Patria: The undead successors to the first civilization.


And Rise From Erebus adds 3 MORE
Mechanos: The gods do not deserve worship. Only machines.
Legion of D’Tesh: All things are for D’Tesh, the undead necromancer.
Frozen: The world will be in ice once more.


My brethren: CHOOSE! (Note, we can't start as Infernals, Mercurians, or Frozen. We can summon them and then play as them later, though. Also, pay no heed to the Good, Neutral, and Evil headings. Just about every civ has at least two leaders with different alignments. For example, the Lanun have two Neutral leaders, one Good, and one Evil.)

Luchuirp. Stupid name, but awesome premise.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

 Clearly we must play as Khazad. We even have a tool for DF with that name! It's a clear sign.

Buck up friendo, we're all on the level here.
I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Is this FFH, or FFH2? On my blackberry so I can't see the pics. :(

I suggest Lanun, if only because pirates are awesome, and the Guybrush Threepwood Unique unit is also awesome.

Otherwise Khazad, for the dorfs!

Khazad! Go Khazad!

Luchuirp may have golems, but they have a silly name and don't love gold as much. I bet those pansies would be unhappy when their spouses died even if they had a legendary dining room!

Maybe their wives wear artifact jewelery, and died by magma drowning? I'd be pretty sad, if that were the case.

Its FFH2. So far general consensus seems to be Khazads, but I'm gonna wait for a little longer until I begin the game.

(By the way, you all just lost The Game. MWAHAHAHA!)

Well, if my hypothetical wife died in lava while wearing a hypothetical artifact made by me, the combined bad thoughts would probably get me to tantrum at the very least, no matter if I had my own private legendary dining room.

Not so much if it was another bloke's artifact.

@mm2: I cheat, anyway. And can I call you mm2?

So we're probably going with Khazad then.

It's too bad the limitations of the Civ IV engine prevent us from flooding the world with magma.

So, religion. Let's worship Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones. Sure, we're not particularly the sea-faring types, but come on. Tentacle demons FTW.
