Default A twist on an old idea

People have been talking forever about giving dominions a diplomacy system like most other games of it's type. IMO though, most of these kind of options would detract from the flavor of dominions. But, on the other hand, I think there should be a way to represent pantheons. So, I was thinking of, for lack of a better word, a vassalage system.

At any point in the game, a pretender could swear fealty to a stronger god, gaining a place in that race's pantheon. Weaker gods that no longer had much of a chance of winning would have a chance accomplish something besides getting wiped out. The ruling god could count all of his pantheon's
provinces/victory points as his for the purpose of victory and the pantheon's armies could no longer attack each other.

Joining a pantheon could only be reversed by the death of the ruling god, or perhaps if your number of provinces reached twice that of the ruling god.

Any opinions?
