Does Rain stack? What happens when you cast Implode and someone freezes the units there with Frost? It’s all too confusing. Should God Power Shields return?

I think not every god power need to block others.
Rain doesn’t need to block Valor.
But Finbluwinter should block Ceasefire. atm having Ceasefire gives you a wild card to block a lot of powerful god powers.

I think it is good enough if certain god powers block ceasefire, so a classic age power cant just block things like Finbluwinter or ancestor+eclipse

In a 1v1 situation I’d say it would be the best if basically all god powers would just block other god powers but in a 12 player match with reusable god powers? That sounds kinda awful.
One of the useful side effects of some god powers like Eclipse was that the enemy couldn’t cast their own powers. It made it a powerful offensive tool.
You know the enemy can’t use Frost to buy time if you cast Eclipse first.
I think the most logical thing would be:
Global God Powers block other God Powers. With the exception of Archaic Age God Powers.
So everything that affect the whole map for a longer period of time blocks the usage of God Powers.
Things like Frost still allow the usage of other God Powers, even Ceasefire but Eclipse, Ceasefire itself and Fimbluwinter block other God Powers.
Also localized GPs like Earthquake and Lightning Storm should have shielding in my opinion. Imagine the chaos without.
Wouldn’t that be cool?
Imagine a 6v6 when one team attacks while using like 5 different god powers at once.
Lightning storm and Earthquake on the same position.
I guess you’re right. I’m personally looking forward to watching/competing in 12 player FFA games. There will probably be GPs cast every minute or so.
Well… it looks like the majority of this poll (albeit with only 11 voters at time of this post) want to have some sort of GP shielding. I highly doubt the devs have enough time to implement changes to the God Power system though. Let’s hope they do so on the first patch because people will probably complain about ceasefire being OP.
People already complained about it during the Beta so I wouldn’t be too surprised if it comes back.
But even if we don’t get it on release there is a not too small chance that they add god power shield to some god powers later in patches.

I like this idea - just using rain to block earthquake or fimblewinter is kinda silly
IMO, all God powers should block anything from an earlier age for their duration.
E.g. Lighting Storm will block Ceasefire, or Rain.
