Nemesis in Black and White. You are pitched against the Big Bad, who has access to almost every miracle, unlimited prayer power, almost every culture and wonder thereof, the best creature, and a very hostile one at that, and unlimited resources. Meanwhile, you are given enough resources to feed a population of twenty people and build two large abodes, while your creature is cursed and thus nerfed in almost every way imaginable. If you try using your creature to convert the villages miles out of your influence (ie, all of them) then that triggers Nemesis' AI to continuously send his to your meagre village and raise it to the ground over and over while you are helpless to respond, and if by some miracle you actually manage to achieve even the slightest victory and convert an village, Nemesis' response is to raise the village to the ground. If you actually get enough to break the curse on your creature, a wave of destruction courses over the land, actually destroying the entire island save his own corner miles away.
The only way to have a hope in hell of defeating him is spending several days worth of gameplay dumping resources into the vortex from the previous level, and even then, good luck! It'll last about an in-game year, the time it takes to build the village centre and a few token buildings automatically.
