Gods and patrons

A patron’s island bonus and the dominant-god bonus are different switches. “Choose global effect” in search is this dominance rule. A mod with a similar name, if it exists, belongs in the mod table, not in a god’s row.

Dominance requires the highest devotion and a threshold. Neptune’s dominant effect in the guide is map-wide ship speed, which is why it does not answer a maintenance question.
