Not sure what the long term plans are for corporations, but I was just thinking about them for a bit and had some ideas that were mildly entertaining.
First idea (not my favorite) was that in any religion, there exists the potential for any alignment. An incredibly oppressive Order Zealot could in fact be quite evil, though he CLAIMS to be good. And someone working under the Ashen Veil could be a "Robin Hood" type who SEEMS to be working evil, but in the end causes good benefit.
So, wouldn't it be interesting to change religion from containing the religions to simply being 3 techs that have no pre-req and allow you to select which religion to found, the options being "Good," "Evil," and "Neutral?" Then leave all current religions where they are, but implement them as Corporations instead of Religions. Then you can choose your alignment, AND still have any religion you want to pursue (and get to of course).
My other idea (my preferred, but not worked out) is that D&D has another aspect to alignment which this game works in for most of the characters fairly well already. Lawful / Chaotic in addition to the Good / Evil.
So, how about Corporations affecting your status as Lawful (Elohim is the best example off the top of my head) or Chaotic (Balseraph of course)? Again, haven't really thought through how to have the exact implementation, but it could be an interesting additional mechanic.
