[QUOTE="BeauNiddle, post: 4018340, member: 836"] The hero's get to level 30 and start an empire. Their descendents have an easier time of it since all the challenges have been squashed and only have to level to 25. Their descendents have an even easier time of it and only get to level 20 Their descendents only get to level 15 and don't have the strength to deal with the enemies at the borders so they ignore them turning the empire in on itself Their descendents get to level 10, do a deal with asmodeus to be as powerful as their legendary forebears. Now there's another evil empire run by powerful forces that act as a tyranny on the world. Either Hero's rise who destroy it and have to rebuild from the ashes or it collapses under it's own evil weight and generations later you have PoL again. Things to remember - the gods weren't powerful enough to kill the Titans, they're only imprisoned. The god's weren't powerful enough to deal with asmodeus The gods weren't powerful enough to deal with the maelstrom of evil created by the Elder Eye. Gods can die. When characters hit level 30 and become gods what reason do you have to believe they can manage what the other gods couldn't. Every time the good guys make the world better for good people then they make it harder for good people to face appropriate challenges (so they don't level as fast) and they make it easier for bad guys to face appropriate challenges (so they level faster) All PoL's mean is IF the hero's set out to start a world spanning empire then the next game will have to be 3 or 4 generations later and not the next immediate generation.
