Bidding for turn order is only allowed at the start of the game. Reason: This prevents anyone from ever taking two turns in a row and restores some fairness to the game.2. Underworld is discarded along with the following cards: Death's Door Closes (Death), Scales of Osiris (Magic), and Tablets of Destiny (Magic). Ignore anything that has anything to do with the Underworld. Dead armies are returned to the master tray. Reason: Underworld battles slow down the game.3. Plague Zones: Plague zones become impassable barriers just like in Risk 2210 AD. No movement is allowed through them, no units are allowed to be placed on them. Reason: The plague zones are an unwelcome and unnecessary change from 2210's devastation zones, IMO.4. Death God: His new special power while on earth is to automatically "resurrect" 1d6 of your armies from the master tray. These armies must be placed on your temple(s). They may be distributed among your temples in many manner you wish. His labor is now that an army attacking with him in it must kill 5 enemy armies each turn to get a free Death miracle card. Place these kills near you off the board until you have collected five, then draw your free card and return the enemy armies to the master tray to prevent confusion. Reason: The Death God isn't cool enough in the regular rules.5. Sky God: His new special power is he allows you two fortification moves each turn while on earth, so long as one of the fortification moves involves him (and units with him, if you wish). His old special power is retained (4d6 in godswar). Reason: He is the head of the pantheon and should have more useful powers as godswars don't happen that much. Giving him two powers singles him out as the greatest of the gods, and is in keeping with his role as creator/protector of your people.Note that these variant rules are currently in Beta and have not been playtested. Please post constructive criticism and beta test results. If you have better ideas on how to "fix" Godstorm (even in other areas), please post.Another possible variant involving plague zones and the death god would be that the Death God (and any units with him excluding other gods) is immune to the effects of the plague. Thus, he can stay in a plague zone and your armies posted with him do not suffer plague effects while in his presence. All other gods (excluding enemy death gods of course) are still subject to plague zone effects. If using this variant, the Death God's labor would be to control a plague zone at the end of your turn (your death god must be on it).</blockquote>
