[quote]"--Make gods weaker, closer to demigods [expand on this - is it necessary? Weaker how?]"
[/quote]

This goes a bit against what is necessary for the early game (Raising continents, creating magic, forming planets.) unless there is some sort of exception (Oh its early in the universe so your gods act like a Level 20 god or something until turn 3 starts) I don't see how it would work. Though I do like the idea of gods being more mundane.
