Divinity) work in slightly different ways. Worship has two very strong benefits but also a few minor weaknesses. So there is enough incentive there to choose Glory over Power because its a better Reward but just with more Risk.To briefly clarify, when Level 20 characters gain XP they can choose to instead turn that XP into Glory (Worship Points). A character's XP (+WP) determines its Divine Rank. The amount of XP a character converts to Worship, is up to them and does not affect the character's overall Divine Rank. So if characters want to be a god (more WP than XP) or an anti-god (more XP than WP) its entirely up to them....anyway to circle back to my point, yes I want the focus of the Immortal Tier to engage with the God vs. Anti-god friction, vis-a-vis the juxtaposition of having to sometimes choose between the safety of Worshippers or the immortal's Divine Realm. However, you still need a hefty dose of Craziness because that is where half the fun lies in these Epic and Immortal Tier campaigns, so expect 40+ new materials alone, 80 new Artifacts and you just won't believe how ridiculous the items get - no sense spoiling the surprises though. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
