A while back I made a post about WorldBox God Simulator, and how my chosen world had become an endless throng of insane cannibal rhino men living under the lash of a race of wicked angels.

Recently this had become a bit stale, so I wiped the angels out of existence (at least in this timeline), put some rhino guys into their isolated mountain lair instead, and then wiped out all life outside the lair.
Centuries passed as the rhinos sat trapped in their mountain, their hunger having been temporarily removed by divine intervention so that they could survive this way. Over time new civilizations emerged. Elves and druids and cat people and all sorts of things. Once they had several thriving kingdoms and seemed to be heavily engrossed in their own politics, it was time to make a hole in the side of the mountain, and to make the boys hungry again.
That's right, monsters from before the dawn of civilization, God's chosen world-eaters. They immediately established a large warmongering empire that split the main continent in two, prompting everyone in the world to declare war on them in turn.
The thing is, these guys are basically feeder mice for my evil angels, sure, but they're still far stronger on an individual basis than any naturally evolved species. The world's counteroffensive is getting smashed. Not only that, but the rhino religion gives access to a devastating set of strategic-level ritual spells. It's going to start raining demons and meteors across the planet as soon as the rhino leadership can get its hands free for five minutes straight.
But you know, the rhinos weren't like this when they initially won their own world. They were strong and warlike, but not utterly insane. They had conquered the world, divided up into a few factions in sort of a permanent cold war, and then sat there being so peaceful that God got bored. I had not only made them stronger at that point, but as disagreeable as possible, so that they would continue to fight even when they were the only race or culture to exist.
Yeah these guys turned on each other, for absolutely no good reason, while at war with everyone else. With their strength split in two and fighting bitterly against itself, the elves and druids and cat and dog people and whatever else were able to crush them both and save the world. My pet rhino guys went the way of every over-engineered killer orc race in fiction.
So hey, sometimes good wins, even in my would-be miserable hellworld. I should have been taking screenshots or something. Fun toy, worth picking up, has some gimped free to play options but I don't know about them, I bought the full price version.
