Fall from Heaven II is a dark fantasy mod for Civilization IV. The Age of Ice has ended, what is left of the once great empires of man have formed into small tribes, ready to rebuild and retake that which was lost. But the world is not empty. Hordes of barbarians await these new civilizations. Wild animals stalk hapless scouts and reckless emissaries. Giant spiders lie in patient wait in the jungles and the forests waiting for their prey to take that last, fatal, step.

There is great evil, but also selfless good. There are those who strive to remain neutral in the coming conflict as opposed ideologies break the world asunder once again. The first goal, is survival. The second goal is power, for good or ill. Will you pursue power through strength of arms or arcane studies, through piety or blasphemy? Choose carefully. On each path you will gain allies, and bitter foes, and the deeper you delve into the secrets of combat, or sorcery, or the divine, the harder it will be to turn back.

Heroes - In times of darkness and strife, heroes will rise to lead their civilizations to victory. Heroes are world units, that can only be built once. If they die, they cannot be rebuilt. Each civilization has at least one hero associated with it, as does each religion. Heroes gain experience each turn, meaning that in any given game, they will probably be your most powerful unit by far. They are capable of taking lightly defended cities by themselves, but they're only a short dogpile away from being dead, so protect them!

Technology - Specialization is the name of the game here, while you may be able to generalize into the first or second tier of techs, you're probably better off specializing in one of the various forms of combat or the arcane or the religious. Tech progression is noticable slower in FfH, giving you an opportunity to play with those new toys you just discovered. There are also religious specific techs, that cannot be researched unless you follow the appropriate state religion.

Here is a brief list of some of the new features in Fall from Heaven:

Magic! - Spellcasting units can take promotions in the different spheres of magic, granting them access to new spells and abilities. There are three sorts of casters, those that know Sorcery, those that practice Summoing and Divine casters. A unit has access to spells depending on what sort of caster it is and the spell spheres it has access to. There are 17 spheres of mana (Fire, Entropy, Nature, Spirit, etc). Casters gain experience slowly automatically, so there is no need to risk them in combat as they pursue their studies in the mystical arts.

Experience - Veteran units are now more valuable. The base promotions have been essentially doubled, making the difference between experinced units and greenhorns especially noticeable. Also, new promotions have been added, become the scourge of the undead, if it suits your fancy.

Upgrading - In order to upgrade the strongest units a unit must first prove itself worthy. Do you want to be an Immortal? Unable to die, and thus able to fight for all eternity? Then you have to be at least a Lv. 6 Champion.

Religions - Not all religions are created equal, and some of them effect the alignment of your civilizations. If you choose to follow the vile practices of the Ashen Veil, your civilization will descend into the depths of Evil. You will of course be rewarded with immense arcane power, knowledge and the aid of Demons. On the other hand, if you follow the Runes of Kilmorph, you will be able to obtain the aid of the reclusive dwarves and share in their love of gold and gems.

Amurites Many peoples claim the blood of heroes or even gods amongst their ancestors; the Amurites are alone in believing themselves children of the one hero to have slain a god. Kylorin, the ageless sorcerer, adopted this people during the harsh Age of Ice, and with their help overthrew the dread god-king Mulcarn. He left behind the gift of unparalleled magical talents as well an insatiable curiosity for all things mystical. Their powers earn suspicion from the upright and envy from the fallen, and so that Valledia the Even and Dain the Caswallawn must walk a careful path in this new age. Their skills and their secrets make them a dangerous target, but an inviting one nonetheless.

Balseraphs It’s a nation of lies and illusions led by a madman and his daughter. All those still clinging to sanity fled long ago, and now the Balseraphs share Perpentach’s madness, living to amuse him. He goes to war on a whim and fights unpredictably, but is no less a threat for it. Despite the capriciousness of their ruler, the Balseraph cities are marvels to behold, dizzying carnivals filled with endless amusement and captivating horrors. Should the Fool King step out for a bit, his young daughter Keelyn will emerge from the shadows to hold an elaborate court filled entirely with otherworldly creatures bound to her will.

But Loki also cause unrest in the cities he occupies and can flip them to the Balseraphs if their culture gets low enough.

Bannor The Bannor Empire is a people forged by unbelievable hardship into a weapon of unrelenting justice. They are led by Sabathiel, an angel held to the strictest interpretation of the Compact, and Capria, a woman of boundless courage. With a sprawling but well ordered empire, the Bannor people take great pride in how much they have accomplished. They have the will to take the fight to the enemy no matter the price; the only question is if they will take it too far, but they did not fight their way through fire and ice only to let the world fall to darkness.

Calabim Ancient and powerful, the rulers of the Calabim posses a dark secret. Through fell ritual their lives can be prolonged at the expense of others, and by this act Alexis and Flauros have created a decadent vampiric aristocracy. Their battlefield success comes at a price they are only too happy to pay—the blood of their human thralls, kept in miserable conditions to serve as little more than cattle. This secret would surely incense all honorable nations of Erebus, but could even the strongest legion compare to the might of a vampire lord? Perhaps their enemies are willing to dismiss the ugly rumors as just that, to avoid the danger of sharing the fate of the sad Calabim humans.

Unique Features:Theme: Aristocratic Vampires

• Vampirism Promotion adds strength and allows 3 unique abilities: Feasting reduces city population to gain experience; Feeding restores health by sacrificing a targeted friendly unit; gift passes vampirism promotion to another unit of level 6+ (4+ if Moroi)

Losha is the Calabim hero and a powerful vampire in her own right. But even beyond this she gains the Immortal promotion each time she defeats a living unit in combat, meaning she is very difficult to kill if she is kept fed.

Clan of Embers Are the numberless orcs of Erebus shunned because of their viciousness and cruelty, or are they cruel and vicious because they are shunned? A riddle which troubles sages and priests, perhaps, but battlefield commanders have little time for such thoughts when the Clan of Embers is upon them. Quick and harsh like the fallen goddess they serve, orcs and goblins have menaced civilizations since the end of the Age of Magic. In the Age of Rebirth, however, they pose a more dire threat as uncontrolled hordes have been shaped into one mighty clan under Jonas the War-Priest. Sheelba, their queen, brings the advances of civilization but none of its civility.

Unique Features:Theme: Barbaric Orcs

DovielloThe greatest shock to those who study the Doviello is this—that they are indeed human. This is a tribe so savage and feral that most sane people assume them to be monsters; alas such barbarism is indeed rooted in the deepest reaches of the human soul. The unending winter of the Age of Ice winnowed away compassion and trust from the Doviello, stripped them bare of everything but will and strength. Charadon leads them like a wolf pack, constantly in search of the easiest and weakest prey. Even orcs and beasts fear the alpha wolf of the Doviello. Mahala is subtler, but no less dangerous for her tendency to strike quick and vanish back into the snowy night.

Unique Features:Theme: Chaotic Barbarian Men

Elohim The Elohim are the heirs to an honored and selfless legacy. Throughout the ages they have guarded sacred shrines, given comfort to the broken, and brokered peace between deadly rivals. The role the Elohim have chosen earns them the adoration of the humble man, but rulers often resent their meddling and seek the mysteries they guard. Though he prizes peace above all, Einion Logos will not let his followers be slaughtered like lambs. And though she is willing to sacrifice all, Ethne the White will not stand by as their good works are undone by the growing evil that sees kindness as vulnerability.

GrigoriAgares the angel of hope fell from heaven for lust of power. Cassiel, leader of the Grigori, fell from contempt of it. The races of Erebus are divine enough to choose their own fate, and any intervention in it by the so-called gods is too much for him. In his lands he shelters refugees from the ideological wars that mark the Age of Rebirth, as well the Luonnotar, a reclusive sect strangely immune to the powers of sorcerer and shaman alike. Cassiel has wagered more than mortals could dream of on his stand for human determinism, and so neither force nor persuasion will bring him to side fully with the agenda of any god or religion. Will his followers have the courage to defend this new vision for Erebus?

Unique Features:Theme: Forsaker of the Gods

Hippus How do you survive when all you have is tradition? How do you feed your tribe if honor is all you posses? The enterprising Rhoanna found a solution. Rather than spend their martial prowess in fruitless raids against each other, their vigor is sold to the highest bidder. The Hippus have become the most famous mercenaries. Led by Tasunke in the field and Rhoanna at the bargaining table, these horse-bound warriors will turn on old friends as soon as their contract is finished if their new allies demand it. Other leaders wonder if the Hippus truly have no agenda beyond wealth, the clank of coins paid for a battle waged. The Hippus clans know their survival is assured so long as every rival sees them as a potential asset.

Infernals Hell’s fury may not match a scorned maiden, but its greed and lust is unmatched. Finding some souls too strong or pure to be lured to hell, Agares’ disciples brought hell to Erebus. And so were the Infernals released, demons hungry for destruction led by the fearsome Hyborem. Slowly their influence spreads, corrupting the land and its inhabitants. If the people of Erebus fall prey to their darker side and fuel the Infernals power, the entire world will burn and Agares’ hell will hold sway over all creation.

Unique Features:Theme: Demons

• A player cannot start the game as the Infernals, instead the first civilization to research Infernal Pact invites them into the world.• Free Iron from Palace• Most units start with demon promotion, which gives bonuses when on hell terrain.• Turn the terrain around their cities to “Hell”, alternate versions of terrain. Deserts will become burning sands, which may catch fire, preventing certain units from entering • Some units start with Stigmata promotion, with gives a strength bonus equal to 50% of the Armageddon Counter.• All cities start with Ashen Veil religion • If Hyborem is killed, all traits are lost, except Fallow • Fallow trait means food has no effect on city growth • Gain free “mane” units when an “evil” unit dies, anywhere in the world (evil units are those with Ashen Veil or Octopus Overlords religion, death or entropy promotions, or citizens lost in cities of evil empires). Manes can be added to cities to increase population, sacrificed for production, or upgraded to any buildible unit.

Khazad Sturdy dwarves, the Khazad have finally stepped out to embrace their destiny as one of Erebus’ powers. Tradition holds them in a firm grip, but ambition draws them away from their underground homes. Steadfast in battle, in faith, and in friendship, they build their empire slowly but give not an inch in trade nor warfare. Arturus Throne and Kandros Fir bear each other an old grudge, but an older debt, and while neither would ask help, each would gladly die for the other.

Special Note: The Khazad take pride in their treasury, in fact the productivity of the nation is controlled by how much gold they have stored. Rich players will be the most productive empire on Erebus, poor players will be battling unhappiness.

Unique Features:Theme: Dwarves

• Free Gold Resource from palace • Dwarven adepts can cast repair if given enchantment promotion (heals golems, siege, & ships) • Units begin with “Dwarven” Promotion, giving Double Movement on hills and +25% resistance to poison.• Gain substantial bonuses or penalties (to production, happiness, and GPP) depending on how much gold per city they have at the moment.

Lanun The oceans and seas of Erebus are home to the Lanun, an untamable people as comfortable on deck as on land. Every captain is a nation unto himself, and the two most powerful are Falamar and Hannah the Irin. Falamar is as dauntless as the waves, with an allure that draws in women from any port, while Hannah is as fickle as the wind, and a tempest when crossed. They are unrivaled on the waves, but as the conflicts of Erebus draws them in they will be forced to fight on battlegrounds of every type, and must stand firm or be buried in the sands of time.

Sidar The Grey are rarely seen outside their borders. Partly because they see little reason to leave their empire and partly because when they do they travel invisibly. The true strength of the Sidar is that their specialists are more talented than other civilizations. Sages provide an additional research, merchants provide an additional gold, engineers an additional hammer and bards an additional culture. To make specialists even more powerful any Sidar unit of level 6 or higher can be transformed into a Shade, which can be added to a city as a specialist of any type.
