I'd like to suggest you look at ONE TRUE FAITH.  I'm biased - I wrote it
and run it.  Complexity is right about what you're looking for, and I
find that (contrary to popular belief) running this as I do with human
moderation (computer-assisted for some automatic stuff) results in many
FEWER mistakes than computer-moderated and coded orders - a human can
edit for intent and common sense, knows that your armies can't swim,
etc.  OTF game #3 is awaiting at least six players before it can start
(#2 just started and is full).  The game lends itself to alliances, but
there are currently no rules for "team" play, and obviously a 4 player
firm alliance in a game with a 12 player maximum would either win
quickly and boringly, or force a counter-alliance to emerge.
Turns are $10 and run about 25 days apart.  There is no provision for an
electronic "front end", but I will accept Emailed turns in plain text.

Oh yeah, what is the game about?  Players are deities competing for
worshippers on a fantasy world - the map is Europe and the Mediterranean
coast, with 176 provinces, but the population includes hobbits,
beastmen, necromancers, elves, the usual assortment of critters...You
can conquer unbvelievers by the sword, but there are many other tools at
Your disposal: miracles (earthquakes, plagues of locusts, good weather,
etc.), theological debate (which involves exchanging riddles or puzzles
with other players as an optional resolution system), preaching,
martyrdom, temples, disturbances and riots, etc.  Imagine the computer
game POPULOUS crossed with WARHAMMER FANTASY BATTLES, and twisted a few
degrees off center...
