Since we have a lot of "nonbeliever" players I thought we might try to stop this.
BENEFITS
My idea is to give "believers" benefits. I was thinking like more income, maybe less to pay every 24 hours. But they would have to make statues of the gods and temples.
nonbelievers would get struck by natural disasters more often and would have to pay more every 24 hours. But they wouldn't have to build statues and temples
GOD POWERS
In battle lords of the town would use God powers that are unique for each god. Those would be limited of course and the more a town would worship its god more god powers they could use.
"Nonbelievers" wouldn't have that.
I don't know if that's possible or not.
I think that would certainly decrease the number of players that go the "nonbeliever" route. As for those who don't believe in gods and want to remain neutral they could join Mercenary faction.
I would also like other people's views on that and maybe some more suggestions and ideas. Please feel free to post them.
