Gods: We would go back to scratch like in Diaspora, where there are no established Gods, and you create new ones from scratch. Not being allowed both Population Growth and Bless Land is an interesting thought, I wonder if it will have strange effects. There would be tension between the pop-growth temple gaining ground, making the blessing templar not want to bless as it becomes less and less cost-effective.
Since we are entering the stage where the optimal people will need to pick realm spells shortly, any direction on this? What about custom/unique spells? Spell selection from the wizard list?

You cannot take Arcane Spells, at least, not before getting "full casting" in the appropriate Arcane School.
No custom Realm spells (well, moderately so. Modified may be allowed, for cult-specific logical applications)

You aren't limited between realm spell choices/spheres, but I would really encourage people to make thematic faiths, not just "the best picks every time" faiths, that make no real sense.
Don't have Undead Legion and be a Nature faith, for example.

Don't be a Nature Faith, that inexplicably is also a faith about Merchants.

You can be an industrial faith that is about merchants, and exploiting nature, of course.


But try to avoid jack-of-all trade faiths

What I am hearing is that Mats was a good baseline Faith build?

Mats was thematic, the Forester was internally consistent, most were reasonable. A few were explicitly built to be powerful first, sensible second.

Which ones had the most taken by Cleric PCs in later games after the gods ascended?

There were 2 Moradin clerics in each of the 2 last rounds.

Last round there were at least 2 Arawn clerics I think maybe more?

Bless land and pop growth are wanted by all. There needs to be a counter set of realm spells that make religions that do not have these palatable.

Problem is there are not many Realm spells that affect the game very much. If you are not allowed one of the two the priest has suddenly lost much of his power. Cant do much with his realm spells in combat except dispel for defense.

Or we could just make it so everyone gets the spells... In the original rules, the only restriction on spells was whether the faith had access to the spheres or not.
