Fall From Heaven 2 is an extensive Civilization IV Mod, set in a High Fantasy setting. The world of Erebus was a failed prototype of creation, its people trapped within it alongside a pantheon of discarded gods, all abandoned by an overgod named "The One". Severed from the heavens, the world was doomed to destruction... but luckily for all involved, this wouldn't happen for a long time!

A long time later, though, the god Mulcarn tried to halt the prophecy by putting the world in stasis, freezing it in endless Ice Age. He was defeated, however, and for the sake of Erebus the gods signed a compact to never again get directly involved in the world. What few civilizations survived the Ice Age are now attempting to rebuild and recover what was lost. Meanwhile, the absence of divine involvement, and the prophesied Fall From Heaven hints that the real Apocalypse may be yet to come...

The first step in embarking on this journey is choosing which Civilization we want to play. Each one is a small tribe of humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, or other folk that survived the Ice Age. Each civilization retains different knowledge from the world before the Ice Age, and have drastically different playstyles.


Which Tribe will we play?

Spoiler: The Clan of Embers: (click to show/hide)
An orc tribe who worship the fire goddess Bhall. They start at peace with Barbarian nations, and can convert them to their cause.

Spoiler: The Illians: (click to show/hide)
A human tribe led by a prophet of the dead god Mulcarn. Using powerful priests and rituals, they seek to make their prophet the new God of Winter.

Spoiler: The Amurites: (click to show/hide)
A tribe of humans with a strong magical background. They are the heirs of the mage who defeated Mulcarn, and seek knowledge and raw power.

Spoiler: The Grigori: (click to show/hide)
A tribe of humans who refuse to worship or fight for the gods of Erebus. They attract refugees and heroes, and incorporate other civs into their own.

Spoiler: The Luchurip: (click to show/hide)
A dwarf tribe, with a heritage of artificers and enchanters. They know the secrets of Golem making, and employ this in both industry and warfare.

Spoiler: The Svartalfar: (click to show/hide)
A ruthless tribe of elves who build hidden cities in the forests, command powers of illusion and shadow, and specialize in espionage and assassination.

Spoiler: The Bannor: (click to show/hide)
A tribe of religious warriors, sworn to a vengeful Angel. They have a strongly militarized heritage, and are bound to oppose the forces of the hells.

Spoiler: The Sheaim: (click to show/hide)
A tribe of human occultists, who seek to bring about the end of days. They command summoning magic, and bind monsters and demons to their will.

I like the "screw the world"-ness of the Grigori, so my vote's for them.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Hippus for Horselord Master Race! Destroy your enemies! Death to the list of available tribes!

After all, who can go wrong with one of the most powerful war mongering races or economical races?

A nitpick: unless Rise from Erebus significantly changed the backstory of Fall from Heaven, the Compact significantly predates the Age of Ice (in fact, the physical embodiment of the Compact, the Godslayer, was used to end the Age of Ice by killing Mulcarn). Also I vote we play as the Luchurip.

So, basically you guys want to destroy the world and/or play Dwarves. Remind me why I thought I needed to ask which Tribe you wanted to play? :P

If we aren't having the God of Winter's help, the Luchurip is a good second choice.
