The variant is intended to provide 'something halfway between RFC and standard Civ', but the reaction to it has been mixed. Other parameters are also randomised, such as which civilizations will appear in the game and when and where they will 'spawn'.

In order to make this possible, several gameplay features had to be disabled. The first, RFC MP, was released on 21 October 2007 and enables multiplayer games of Rhye's and Fall of Civilization over the internet, LAN or locally in hotseat mode.

The Beyond the Sword version of Rhye's and Fall of Civilization was one of the three user-created scenarios that shipped with the official Firaxis expansion (along with Fall from Heaven and Road to War).

With the release of the first official Civilization IV expansion, Warlords, the mod was forked into two versions: one incorporating the new Warlords content and one that remained compatible with ' vanilla' Civilization IV. The first alpha version of Rhye's and Fall of Civilization, then called 'Rhye's Catapult', was released on 26 April 2006, featuring an elaborated Earth map and the 'Rise and Fall' mechanism. The result was two maps ('Earth' and 'Ice Age Earth') and two historical scenarios ('Earth 1000 AD' and 'Greek World'). The popularity of these prompted Civilization IV developers Firaxis to invite him to contribute content for inclusion in the game upon its release.
