NGC5 starting now. (or "I wanna be a God aswell!")(Nearly Gods - the Conflict)

[Ruatha]

There are some games popping up with one God player, i e Zeta Quadrant, Masters of Orion 4...

I was thinking that it might be fun playing god.

So I'm making a map for 3-5 players, each playing an ancient race with a lot of tech directly and powerful starting conditions.
The rest 15-70 races are younger Ai races, weak.

Your job should be to influence these younger races to join your fraction, fight the other god's younger races. (Think Vorlons-shadows).

You aren't allowed to fight any younger races yourself, only other gods.
You aren't allowed to colonize outside your starting system (Good Sphereworld and several good planets for spaceyards in homesystem).
You'll get the entire tech tree for free, the younger races has to research (You'll get it by massive ancient ruins in the homesystem (several hundred tech levels each))
All trade and gifts will be disabled.

Win condition:
All other gods are dead, or all remaining younger races are on your side, meaning atleast military alliance or partnership.


Ideas, pitfalls??
