I’m so burnt out on games using the same three pantheons when there’s a genuine trove of them out there

Based on that can I recommend Dominions to you? It’s like civ and battle simulator had a baby, but the civilizations are based around fictionalizations of actual lore from a wide variety of cultures. And you get to create a god to lead them in each game.

Dominions 6 is the newest one, but 5 is just as good, cheaper and has a more sprawling mod scene.

Fair warning though, it’s an incredibly complex game and definitely has a learning curve.
