There is a 90% chance that any summon/calling spell etc. will just fizzle.
There is then a 90% chance that the creature is not under any control at all (should the spell work in the first place)- including the magic circle. There is therefore over-all a 1% chance on any given attempt that the spell works perfectly.
Summon monster (etc) is the only exception to this in that it has no failure chance from level 1-5 then a 15% chance per level there-after (15 at VI, 30 at VII, 45 at VIII and 60 at IX). The creature is still not compelled to follow you as per normal chances, however it does vanish after the time period.
Summon Nature's ally (and non-planar native variants) will always work on any level, but again they have the 90% chance to be uncontrolled (so you will need to use wild empathy really fast) as per normal. They will also remain as they are still on their native plane.
Incantations are allowed (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/incantations.htm) - summoning/calling results are still subject to the cosmology rules problems.
Taxation Roll: Rulers may chose to "roll" a 1 on the taxation D20 roll instead of rolling when selecting Light Taxes. Rulers may also opt to "roll" a 20 on heavy taxation - though this may have consequences. Rolling a 20 naturally does not have the same consequences.
This allows the ruler to hand-wave excess taxation for the betterment of his people, or a ruler can crack down hard on tax evasion, arresting people who refuse etc.
Banking:
Interest from banked RPs (for those that can earn them) earn 10% interest per season.
E6 LA Point buy

Ports
Ports only cost (50x(settlement production modifier x 2))^2 instead of the listed (500xsettlement production modifier))^2. So 10,000RP for a village instead of 250,000RPs. Everything else remains the same.
Workers and Roads:
Worker units can be used to build or improve roads.
(9-worker race production for terrain type of hex) workers can be assigned to work on a road (if mixed race workers use the highest value type).
the cost of building a road on that hex is equal to the normal cost divided by total number of assigned workers +1 (round up to nearest 5RP). So assigning 5 worker units to build a road that costs 200gp reduces it's cost to 35RP.
Worker units can also reduce the cost of building an improvement in a settlement in the same manner. This however takes their entire action for the season.
Build road is a free action and is now either a martial action. Upgrade Road remains unchanged in this sense.
Worker units may assist in building temporary fortifications for Siege engineer units and Garrison units. Each worker unit provides +10% of the RP available for temporary fortifications to a maximum of +100%.
Penal sub-type may be combined with the Worker sub-type. However the unit must take a morale check each week it spends in the field without a combat unit guarding it. If it fails then the unit will vanish entirely.
These represent slave units and can only be recruited from the settlements of conquered races.

If it is your own settlement subtract the settlement modifier instead of adding it.

Map hexes are 93.5 Sq Mi in size
We need [and already have] worshipers or we cease to exist, worshipers exist in all nations, but are more prominent in regions were rulers like us.
Except for the divine communication ability [TLSR: talk to anyone we can sense using our sense ability], we can only answer prayers/conversation from worshipers through subtle portfolio based means.
We only have general knowledge of our worshipers outside of our sensing. Exception for those who pray for spells or powers [I believe that's RAW pray like clerics/paladins, not a evil warlock who prays anyway and believes it helps], we have greater awareness of them [the limits are not defined, but I assume it's less than sense unless they have our likeness or something]
No planeshifting/use of other planes, it doesn't work because we're in a dream realm. This only has a stated effect on transport both intra-inter planar [they don't work/sometimes fizzle], not planar binding/ally [I assume they're also blocked] and summon monster.
Edit: ^ Has ruling from recruitment, they work normally but can't leave and are uncontrolled when spell ends... If I read it right. - That all depends really... (Gai)
All Capitals come Garrisoned for free - meaning you can train troops freely in them.
PC's act as scouts.
If Deities have overlapping domains, said domains power is weakend [details are a little soft]
All deities are starting in the mountain in the middle of the map.
Can summon outsiders normally, but they get stuck and outside your influence.
Groups of 100 Identical followers can be made into units that are free.
Free Garrison in Capital doesn't increase upkeep by 25%, it does however increase upgrade costs by 25%
We can freely refluff almost everything
Outsiders/etc cannot be bannished.
[LG] Paladin rulers can work with evil rulers should it be in the best interests of their nation. Similar would apply to other alignment varients of Paladins.
Spymaster feat can use Int, Wis or Cha
Followers above level 6 + Cohorts use normal classes, but can be capped at a E value for bonus feats.
You can take monsters as followers as normal.
Planar ally (and some similar) currently doesn't work, and wont work until the gods do the appropriate quest.
Units have a maximum level of 5 [or Champion cap -1, if such changes]
Battle Map sizes will vary depending on the circumstances IC-wise leading up to the battle. Standard field battles will be either 18x10 or 10x10. Larger battles may be up to 20x20 in size. Sieges will be 30x30 or larger in size. Small skirmishes will be as small as 5x5 in size if it is called for.
Shock factor rules:
Shock Factor is CR-5 +/- other modifiers on the table.
Dragon Frightful presence is +5, as is any other similar fear effect.
For units without a known CR:
CR = ECL+(CR mod of any templates), +1 if Gestalt, +1 for every 3 feats earned via E6 method (don't count bonus class feats or feats for level).
