[quote=@Bai Suzhen]As one counter to the nuke, might a god have some sort of future-vision when it concerns massive amounts of death? I imagine most of the gods are pretty invested in keeping their city and worshippers alive, so if they had some warning would be willing to intervene.

That way, if a god wants to destroy the city, they have to get cunning and set events in motion which are hard to stop with a simple snap of the fingers teleporting said nuke into the elemental plane of nuclear fission.[/quote]

That would fit very well, actually. I could add some kind of entropy-sense to the set that includes gravitation towards other gods, so that the characters feel some kind of growing dread the closer something morbidly destructive comes to completion. Neither of the two are very well explained anyway, but I prefer them both a lot more to unspoken rules. Thanks!

Remember, kids, if you want to initiate mass destruction of a city state, always do so in a way that promotes healthy counterplay, and don't forget to have fun.
