God Simulator

God Simulator is a strategy simulation about creating a religion and guiding it from the ancient world through the Middle Ages and into modern times. Your choices determine how the faith attracts believers, adapts to different cultures, and withstands resistance.

How to Play God Simulator

Start by choosing an archetype such as Monotheism, Shamanism, Spiritualism, Pantheon, or Paganism. Archetypes have different traits and advantages. Monotheism is organized, stable, and adaptable, while Paganism is difficult to eradicate but also difficult to develop. You also choose a name and starting country for your religion.

Use skills from the Preaching, Features, and Intervention sections to shape the faith and spread it into new regions. Local cultures have their own traits, so a doctrine that works in one place may need to change as your influence expands. Popularity, austerity, and fanaticism are among the aspects to consider when combining religious features.

New believers earn enlightenment points. Spend those points to develop the religion, select useful traits, and prepare it for later historical periods. Time pressure, atheism, cultural resistance, and other social changes can weaken your position, so continued adaptation is necessary if the religion is to endure and become the dominant global faith.
