Essentially, the religion percentage thing would be replaced with the percentages of the population that each culture (Hylian, Goron, Moblin, etc) makes up. You would need your culture to be at a certain level to be able to build units and buildings - 25% Hylian for your low-level barracks and units as New Hyrule, and 75% for your best units, for example. Maybe Priests could be replaced with a 'Settler' unit or something as well.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but religion doesn't play such a major part in GSTW as it does in HTW. I think a culture system would be more appropriate for this setting, as New Hyrule would realistically not be able to recruit its high-level units on an island that was very recently owned by Moblins, because New Hyrule is made up of the first wave of explorers and there would not be any Hylians already living on the island. Over time though, they can increase their share of the population (to represent settlement and colonisation) to the point where they have a population to draw troops from.
Thoughts?
