Ok so after talking to joost, we both agreed that the god system would suck if everyone was a peon, and only few were gods. So we decided that everyone will be a god.
How it works: As a god, you spend your time in heaven with other gods (players) and monsters(think greek myths). You will start out with a town, and the citizens respect for you will determine your overall strength. You can gain your citizens/worshippers respect by sending them money/gifts, and more importantly answering thier prayers.
Prayers: Prayers will be the equivalent of quests, but they will all have a time limit from when you accept them to when you need to finish them, otherwise you will loose respect from your followers. A quest may be like, "We wish to make war with the neighboring town of Towntownia. You must defeat thier god in battle. He lives on Mt something something." You then have 30 minutes to climb the mountain full of monsters and kill the god. Another may be like "We have run out of food!" and then you have to collect 30 food items in 15 minutes. Or kill some monsters that attacked the city, or whatever.
Town: Your town will be ranked as like a city, suberb, village, etc. The towns people may pray for advice on what to build next every so often, and you will be able to decide whether your people build different things.
