Could someone please explain the difference between the tags: [REGIONAL_FORCE] , [ANY_AVAILABLE_POWER] , and [PANTHEON].

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

[ANY_AVAILABLE_POWER] means that the civilization will worship any appropriate MEGABEASTS (such as demons for goblins).

I don't know too much about [REGIONAL_FORCE] and [PANTHEON] but if I had to take a stab at it I'd guess [REGIONAL_FORCE] has something to do with the elves worshiping nature and [PANTHEON] is the tag for a patriarchal monarch system (with kings and queens, etc).

Nope. REGIONAL_FORCE makes them worship a single force associated with their spheres. PANTHEON makes them worship a group of gods, each aligned with their spheres and other appropriate ones as well.

I think I remember someone reporting that entities with [REGIONAL_FORCE] always worship nature and river forces regardless of sphere... I could be wrong, though. Someone should test this.

Also, megabeasts have nothing to do with the [ANY_APPROPRIATE_POWER] religion. Anyone can worship megabeasts (although the megabeast's spheres may play a role in this). Entities with the [ANY_APPROPRIATE_POWER] religion will worship creatures with the [POWER] token. At the moment, the only POWER creature is the demon.

Don't be so quick to change the wiki unless you're absolutely sure what you're talking about. I fixed the thing about power religions.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Thanks for fixing it in the wiki.
