An extra commander at start
5-10 initital research points
starting experience for your commander or troops
extra population in your home province
more titles for your pretender

Hey, more titles! That'd be nice! 1 more title if any points are left, 2 for 9, 3 for 19, 4 for 29, 5 for 39.

40 or more points left and your god gets the special title "The Overconfident."

Even better, with 40 or more points left, you get a prompt which lets you write your own title or two! I can do things like naming my pretender "Emppu, Devourer of Apples" but can't have "Emppu" who is also "The King of Kings, The Sword of Balance, Devourer of Apples".

That's wonderful, that would be great.

"Carnute Carnifex, the Rock, and the Roll"

My marverni Lord of War kept getting "the Rock".

It would save alot of game setup frustration if the points went to SOMETHING. Anything is better than just losing them to nothing.

But there are some great ideas here. Most seem like they would be easy to do but I think they wouldnt. They seem easy when you think of them writing the change directly to the game you are starting. But the god gets checked and created and placed into a file, and later the game is created.

Some of them look like they would easily work. Particularly the ones that are written directly to the god file at that moment, such as additional titles.

Lots of good suggestions here.

There should be a way of spending every point, if I have any left over, I feel ripped off, even if its just 1 pt. Alot of strategy gamers like me, enjoy maximising/minimising everything to get maxium advantage/power.
