Is this kind of background good as it is, good if complemented with special units/sites/features or just a curiosity?
Not sure if I follow the gods question.
Fixed as in being defined in this myth? OK
Premade as in leading to the definition of pre-made gods that will go out with the demo and game? Great!
Fixed and Premade as in part of a mod or map package? That would be cool.
Fixed and Premade as in we dont get to choose/create gods anymore? Surely not.

It strikes me as a perfect Dominions scenario. Go Kristoffer go!

I'm guessing that the object of the scenario would be to capture the Throne of thr World. Would this mean that the Baphomet would be a computer player "randomly" harrassing the other seven, who are all striving to topple him from his throne, or would his side be playable as well?

Sounds like it would be a lot of fun! I know I would play it without hesitation, once patch #2 is released.

Speaking of which, any info on how soon the next patch and its much-anticipated expanded mod powers will in our greedy hands?

Baphomet is the creator, nothing exist unless he illuminates it. Baphomet is AI.

Premade pretenders are cool -- provided they're interesting!

However, why not do it both ways? It would be a simple manner to make a copy of the scenario with the Pretenders not fixed.

Of course. This is always a viable option. I just wondered if there was an interest in premade gods for the scenario.

I also vote for pre-made gods. Sounds like great fun!

Though I do like starting out with only one province.
