CONCEPT
=======
What is arm of the gods? It is a on-line game designed
to put you in the place of 1 of 10 gods in a multitheistic
world. You role-play the god causing miracles, gathering
followers, creating artifacts, fighting other gods, and many
other things that a god might do. What's the point? Well
first off, the point is entertainment. The second point is
to surpass the other deities <gods> and gain 3,000,000
followers at which point you can win the game. So in
essence the point of the game is to gain followers.
There are 3 main ways that you gain followers:
1. You cause miracles, therefore proving that
your god actually exists.
2. You use your holymen to preach and spread
the word.
3. You use your religious fanatics, known as
'disciples' to convince, and convert followers
In gaining more followers, you gain more energy
so that you can gain more followers, so you can
get more disciples, holymen, attack other players,
and ultimately win!
