'Some say the critical number is around 10,000. Any fewer followers, and the God is wavering, and will feel in danger, and will do what it can to recruit more followers.'
PFRPG Dragons and Gods page 85.

Drewkitty, Thank you for your response. The answer to what was in the subject...worshipers.
Azathothxy, thank you for your response. I am curious as to why some of the gods who have more than 10000 worshippers on rifts earth still have the MDC diminished. Isis easily has 10000 worshipers. there are the Aztec gods and the pantheon in south america, yet their MDC is reduced. It makes no sense. Alas I am only rambling.
Thanks again.

Again you left out information in what you said in response to me.
From what you and AX said....
So your whole question was about ...."What is the critical number of worshipers to avoid having their MDC diminished on Rifts earth?" ?
There is the question that comes to mind about something about why posting here and not the rifts forum. NNtR.

That is the question I asked. I posted it in this forum because if I recall correctly the answer was in D & G a sourcebook for PF. Thank you for responding

Well, just this week i came across something in the book that might or not be useful to your interests....
D&G, pg.84 wrote:In general, heroic gods have thousands of followers on one world,
epic gods have millions of followers on many worlds,
and colossal gods have billions (or more) of followers on myriad worlds.
That said, it also mentions Hades as a heroic realm and Dyval as a epic one (in Library of Bletherad they were both heroic), so take things with a grain of salt, i'd say.

the amount you need to go from Regent to Dyval Lord sounds like a good guide
