"Are you a blessed or a curse?"
Other god games, such as populace, hold few cards compared with this. At the beginning you are a nobody, a god who the poeple hardly know but within time you rise to be the greatest god there is. You have a choice to be good or evil, although you start by default as good. I personally think its easier to be good and more fulfilling as most of the rewards come from helping the people, not tormenting them. you have acess to many miracles. you can bless the crops with good rain, or make a drought and let the population be subjected to famine, you can grow forests, heal the wounded, or, if your that way inclined, bombard your neighbour with fireballs until his town is not but dust.
Your creature basically represents you, if you are too evil he will turn dark and vicious, if you are too good he will turn pink and gay each comes with its advantages, for example an evil creature will be a better fighter but a good creature will be better for your kingdoms well-being as he will help.
The only thing this game suffers from is the fact that the vilalgers are pretty much 100% dependant on you, so much to the extent that you have to get them to do things like breed and build homes. such is not the work of a god, i say.
