House Rules

Players have one week with which to submit their turns. If a player does not submit a turn within the allotted time, their action will be considered "Pass," and their points will carry over to the next round.
It is completely permissible for players to pool Power in order to jointly spend points on actions. To do this, a player (on their turn) will submit an action like "pass points to X," where "X" is a player lower in the initiative order for that round (i.e., another player who has not yet acted). "X" may then, on their turn, spend the lent points. If "X" does not spend the lent points on their turn, they will be returned to the donor player and can be used by the original player as normal during the following round. More than one player may pass points to the same player in this manner.
When created, cities will start with the alignment of their founding race at the time the city is founded.
An avatar can only be commanded by its creator.
The "Command" powers ("Command Race," "Command City," "Command Order," and "Command Avatar") may only by issued once per issuer per target per turn. The "issuer" may either be a god or an avatar. An issuer may perform multiple "Command" powers per turn if there are sufficient targets. For example, one could issue "Command Elves" and "Command Goblins" if one has sufficient points, but one issuer cannot use "Command Elves" twice in one turn. However, if the god had avatar capable of commanding the Elves, then the god could use "Command Elves" and "Command Avatar," and then the avatar (as a new issuer) could then use "Command Elves" that turn.
