She Who Will Feast vs Ophanim

Description
Adds a scenario - in the God Select screen - where you can play as She Who Will Feast, with Ophanim controlled by an AI. Ophanim will recruit agents, use powers, and attempt to sieze control of humanity while you attempt to destroy it and devour the world, and humanity is caught in the middle. Features include:

Challenges to uproot Ophanim's infiltation, and vice versa
Challenges to sow and grow Doubt against his Faith
Acolyte tenets Ophanim can use to muck around in your shadows
A new power, to help She Who Will Feast banish Ophanim

EARLY DEVELOPMENT: This mod is not yet complete, but I'm putting it on Steam for more exposure; please report any bugs!

Agents: Ophanim currently can use his own Supplicant, Baron(ess), Courtier, Trickster, Plague Doctor, Warlord, Warlock, and Heirophant
Magic: Currently, the magic system for Support Army and Attack Channeler does not make a proper distinction between the three sides
Humanity: Humanity has some ways to fight back against Ophanim, but are planned to be expanded; the plucky underdog humans should be able to win if the two Elder Gods waste their strength slugging it out with one another
Ophanim is unable to properly counter some possible strategies a player may think of

I'd love to be able to fight the other direction. Getting to fight the awakened world-snake would be wonderful.

thumbnail goes hard and so does the mod

I hope this leads to other mods in the future that allow for competing/ cooperating with an AI faction

Super cool idea

Got my eye on this one. I had been playing around with an idea to introduce a God that is trying to stop the other gods, but humanity can't tell the difference, meaning that when he helps them out he ends up doing things that make them more able to oppose him as a consequence. If this achieves what I think is possible as proof of concept,

@timlagor Doubt is not spread directly, rather, high faith settlements bordering low faith settlements create it automatically, and since faith can't spread through awareness except through conquest in a theocracy, aware settlements will eventually spawn doubt (that grows much faster due to awareness). Since the snake can spread awareness of the hostile elder god, this can accelerate doubt creation and spread.

That being said, it is true that essentially any of the elder gods could do this, not just the snake.

Shadow can't spread through Ophanim Faith
Doubt subsides if it's not next to O Faith.

You could make the 'Snake' spread doubt but you'd have to essentially create a new god and call it the Snake. Mammon or Iastur might work better as an Ophanim foil.

Snake can spread ophanim awareness and thus doubt. Shadow can spread through awareness eventually (wards only stop certain methods) but faith is totally screwed without military conquest.

Ophanim could be an interesting challenge for the Snake.

I think the Snake would just be a bonus for an Ophanim player though. "Oh you built up a load of shadow? too kind"

VERY Intriguing. Potentially a game changer for the flow of an entire campaign.
