Cactus Game Design Message Boards

My initial reactions to each of the abilities presented thus far is that they are far too complex (too much going on and/or too long), past the point of OP by a long shot, or both.  I'm not sure that the abilities suggested would be positive for the game.

Well your not going to find direct references of course. But you could print gods like Ra and have it as same reference as sun worship, or even better the plague of darkness, because "he" is a reason why God sent a plague of darkness. You don't even have to have a new type. Maybe print it as a demon, or an idol artifact but that's not necessarily what Ra is. Ra, like other false gods, are not necessarily evil; they are an idea. It's what is done with the idea, which Satan helps distort, that's can be used for evil, such as hedonistic rituals, human sacrifices,...etc. If the Redemption creators are worried about unnecessary glorification of evil then maybe a territory class enhancement with a verse linked to the plague of darkness. Reprint of Sun Worship: Ra worship. I don't know about everyone else but I like specific and I like historical. I understand the game is based on the bible, but if we can do a series like angel wars then I'm sure vague references backed by history will work. So yeah... I want to see Molech, Baal, Asherah, Osiris, Anubis, Isis, and Dagon as cards that work with their respective civilizations 

Ra, like other false gods, are not necessarily evil; they are an idea

The bible specifically says that there is only one true God, all others are false and evil. idols or false gods are demons working behind the scenes to ensnare us.

They would be acting like curses that don't take up the artifact spot. I think that's a bad idea. I'm already not a huge fan of so many territory class abilities on characters.
