Also, the gods are limited to Ethnicity. If you're an Englishman worshipping Woden, and go To wales (celtic, not Germanic) then the gods still might have a little power. If you go to america, then that's too far away and they have no power. If a white tries to worship native american gods, then the gods will not respond. If a black tries to worship European Gods, then the Gods will not care.
my idea is that the Gods of each people's were chosen (or chose themselves) that ethnic group, and can only give influence to where that ethnic group is located. Of course, their influence can only go so far. If all of Hungary moves to Finland, the slavic gods may have influence there. If they go to America or Africa, the gods will still have no influence.
It's just my speculation and thoughts on the matter, but that's what I think.
