Default Re: Well...talk about an intimidating game!

Id go more with many of them being themed rather than no niche in the game. Possibly they could be said to have no niche for choosing them in a multiplayer game against other human players. In that case the extremes will always tend to be chosen.

But in solo games, or for RPG style of playing, the others can be good. I just personally hate things like the themed gods having themed choices that are paid for in pretender-points even when then nation already has it covered. For example, a pretender for a nature-magic nation tends to be also nature-magic and/or get bonuses in food supplies for armies. Since the nation has a bunch of nature mages, that benefit isnt worth paying the pretender points that put it on the pretender.

I understand them being there and fitting the theme of their nation, but its regrettable.
