Latest revision as of 21:17, 9 October 2014

History: This page contains historical information about IVAN that may not be implemented in the game.


This page lists the old Gods of IVAN, which have since been significantly changed. One might also notice some archangels were named after one of their respective god's other proposed names.
The information here was taken from various files within IVAN's source repository. This is simply historical documentation for interest's sake.

The old gods worked on a double alignment system similar to D&D, with axis for Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic and Good/Neutral/Evil. This was later scrapped in favor of a singular axis system from chaotic to lawful.

Each old god here is listed under their name given in Panthenon.txt as well as the form they took from form.txt and their favored location (?) from need.txt.
The old gods each have a list of alternative identities formatted as "Name, gender, translation". Translations are given from both the original Latin and from the devs' Finnish translations.
