* To add to this, look at Nox. Her Greek counterpart Nyx is the more well-known, but Nox was used instead. This shows that Hi-Rez is willing to disregard how notable a particular version is in order to pad out the Roman pantheon, which, while no longer small, still pales compared to the Greek. Between Hera and Juno, there's more "incentive" to use Juno.

Think about it: ''every'' other map is tied to one of the pantheons. Conquest is in front of Mt. Olympus, Siege is in the Mayan jungle, Assault is in Jotunheim, and Arena seems to be in the Roman Coliseum. Even the now-defunct Domination was in front of one of the pyramids. Joust, meanwhile, is in a generic medieval setting, which fits the title but sticks out like a sore thumb to everything else. The map needs to be redone, and what better way to do it than to tie it with the one pantheon that can be reasonably linked to Western Europe?

* Meanwhile, Hindu and Chinese are still map-less... If anything, before the Celts, these two Pantheons will get their theme map first.

[[WMG:God Prediction WMG]]
Let's use this WMG to guess which Gods will make it to Smite as playables.
*Greek/Roman (notify how they will enter, as Greek or Roman)
** Achilles (as Greek)
** Typhon (as Greek)
** Hera (as Roman (Juno))
*Egyptian
** Set
** Nut
*Norse
** Baldr
** Jormugandr
*Chinese
** Fuxi
** Guan Yin
*Mayan
*Hindu
** Ravana
** Ganesha
*Celtic
** Cu Chulainn
** Lugh

** Usually they'd have to be such a great threat or would make the Gods unite, y'know, something like Apep being the GodOfEvil that everyone avoids and makes the usually villainous Set draw EvenEvilHasStandards, or how Typhon threatens the whole Olympus and being called 'father of all monsters'. And also, Jormungandr is the last of Loki's sons, if they already made Fenrir and Hel playable, I don't think Jormungandr would be singled out into an event boss (and you know, Fenrir murdered Odin while Jormungandr just murdered Thor...). Surtr seemed legit, though.

Something akin to VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'s Year Beast event, or the Ascension mode in VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends, there will be a bonus mode that pits the Gods against a supremely evil being that could cause wanton destruction. Consider the likes of [[Myth/GreekMythology Typhon]] or [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Apep]]... Now who are the counterparts for Norse, Chinese, Mayan, Hindu and Celtic?

* The reason he's not all that much bigger than the other gods, despite being a primordial giant, is the same reason that he's still around even after his flesh and bones were used to create the world. A tiny piece of him has reformed into its original shape, and the reason he's trying to help destroy the world is that it's the only way he can reunite his maimed body for good. He's just too dumb to realize how it might hurt others.

We know that Hera is the more popular version, but if you look at the current roster of Smite, none of the Greek Gods have a particular ire with Hera; Zeus is more like the one who caused Hera's ire with his infidelity, and while Aphrodite's lore is about the Fairest Apple and Trojan War, the other one competing with it, Athena, didn't mention it, so Hera would have little less to work on. Juno, on the other hand, could have the enmity relationship with both Hercules and Vulcan, as Vulcan still resents Juno's treatment over him when he's infant, and she is the main reason why Hercules became insane and killed his family. Additionally, since Zeus is already in, there is no way Jupiter will make it, and seemingly the Roman Pantheon didn't have its TopGod yet (Greek already has Zeus, Egypt has Ra, Norse has Odin, Chinese has Nu Wa, Mayan possibly had... Kukulkan?), Juno can be the closest of being the TopGod of Roman Pantheon because the default option (Jupiter) cannot enter due to the presence of his Greek counterpart (Zeus).

*** Most probable would be Achilles, one of the bonafide {{Badass}} Greek warrior with some divinity to go with, making him something of a Demigod like Hercules. If they got away with doing non-Gods like Arachne or Hercules, Achilles seems to be a nice place to fit in as warrior (Typhon's big stature might make him more suited for Guardian) and he's majorly involved in one of Greek's big epic the Trojan War (which only got a mention in Aphrodite's lore). I guess the only thing barring his entrance would be because Scylla named one of her dog-heads after him....

* Not necessarily in all three entries, it's possible that they could occupy one slot like [[VideoGame/{{Dota 2}} Techies]]. While Neith is technically 'Weaver of Fate', mythologically she has nothing to do with fates and destinies, so it's still possible for the Sisters to appear. The question is ''which'' sisters: Hi-Rez can choose either the Fates from Greek: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos, or the Norns from Norse: Verthandi, Urd and Skuld.

* After the rearranging, I realized that some Pantheons are missing some roles. The more recent Gods seems to be trying to fill up the spots of the missing roles for each Pantheon (Kukulkan, Cabrakan). So I was wondering... which would be the Gods to be used for these roles?
