I have recently gotten a hold of Age of Mythology and been playing it a lot. I don't know if anything similar has been done before, but I've started thinking what it would be like if Warcraft had a similar God system for each Race.
In AoM you can choose one Major God (out of three) for your Civilization (for example; Zeus, Hades or Poseidon for the Greeks) and then you can choose one of two Minor God's each time you advance an Age (out of six Minor Gods for three Ages).
So if you play Greeks and chose Zeus as a Major God, you'd be able to choose between Hermes and Athena (Classical Age), Apollo and Dionysus (Heroic Age) and Hera and Hephaestus (Mythic Age). Some of these Minor God's are also available in Hades and Poseidon's techtree.
Each God gives you different bonuses, upgrades and a Myth Unit (such as Centaur, Minotaur, Cyclops, etc).
So if Warcraft had a similar system, what Major and Minor Gods would each Race (Humans, Orcs, Undead, Night Elves) have?
It doesn't have to be limited to Gods. Titans, Demi-Gods, Dragonflights and other legendary beings can be used.
I'm mostly just looking for God ideas as I haven't gotten into gameplay yet, but possible bonus ideas or associated "Myth" units would be appreciated as well.
I've got a few ideas, but I'm not very knowledgeable on the deity/religion elements of Warcraft so most of them are incomplete.
My ideas for each Race:
Humans:
Major Gods:
Minor Gods:
Orcs:
Major Gods:
Rezan:
Earth Mother:
Undead:
Major Gods:
Night Elves:
Major Gods:
Elune:
- Not sure if the Ancients (Cenarius, his father Malorne, etc) should be in her branch or Eonar's...
Eonar:
So yeah, feel free to give ideas. I'll be interested to even just learn more about the cosmic side of Warcraft.
