This is very preliminary, and also unlikely.  However, inspiration or creativity hits from time to time, and I try to scribble down thoughts.

This is about each player, likely 10 per game, being a god in a game.  The player creates his diety, with some level of power in 10 of 20 portfolio possibilities, say 100 points total.  Some of that might be Charm, to among other things, attract a mate and so procreate.  The mate and offspring might have skill in 5 portfolio categories.  Then a god might also have demi-god offspring. 

A god might also create either an Angel or a Demon in a turn (not both). 

Aspects like loyalty, glory, heroism, mysticism, understanding, civilization, insights, tactician might be important qualities in your mortals. 

Wealth, might, wonder, mores, music, architecture, warcraft might be portfolio skills.  It might be your people want to be happy, rather than conquerors.    Oratory, language skill, artifacts, beasts, monsters, weather, vision, prophecy might be factors.

This might be a 10 player game on Resurgent, where the players have to create the realms as well as their leaders and important subjects.  Perhaps at the beginning of a game, there are only Red Dragons, Dwarves and Elves.  Gaining control of those involves compatibility with portfolio power, and other races can be created.  So some orders, like creating a race of say, Dark Elves, may take an entire turn's influence and power.  Others, like siring a demigod hero might consume some, allowing an architecture or tactical breakthrough might take less.

Subjects might become disloyal, prophets would be important to spread the word, the god's Vision might be critical as well to Inspiration. 

Merry Christmas, All.

Could be fun. If you start thinking it might actually happen, let me know and I'll dedicate some brain power to it.

Please do not take any of my comments as a personal insult or as a criticism of the game 'Alamaze', which I very much enjoy. Rather, I hope that my personal insight and unique perspective may, in some way, help make 'Alamaze' more fun, a more successful financial venture, or simply more sustainable as a long-term project. Anyone who reads this post should feel completely free to ignore, disregard, scorn, implement, improve, dispute, or otherwise comment upon its content.

This sounds really cool, a much more in depth version of the video games Populous or black and White.  I like the twist on this away from  the normal strategist type games.  I could see a development tree for building your Gods influence and powers as being fun to work towards instead of just a hero.

Sounds a bit like Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension.  I found the Dominions game to be over complicated and did not care for the graphics.  I think the general concept is a fine one.  Ry-Vor could probably do better with it.

Even in the 80s me and my friends talked about something similar in a Alamaze setting. In our version a set amount of points were available to each amorphous race and they could be spent to tailor a race to each players taste ie all military, political etc. each race starts at a baseline and adds points were they want. The challenge is the map stays the same but your neighbors are not known and strengths are not predictable. Even if the races stay the same the modification or evolution makes the trolls magic centric with weak military and average political... Or warlock shaves some points off magic and bumps agents up a bit and you have another evolution.

^^^^ The above would be cool. I like any idea that lets you personalize your starting position.
