I started playing Dominions 6 as Hinnom (a nation which is inspired by Philistines, Canaanites and Israelites). There's also some antedeluvian and postdeluvian giant elements involved.

The Nephilites are worshiped as gods, while the Rephaites are generally ruling as earthly authorities. I also have 2 Nephilites physically being there and leading armies, one of which is the deity of the nation.

These giants are very evil and destructive. The Nephilites are eating 120 people a month, while the Rephaites are eating 20 a month. (A month is an in-game turn). Most provinces have populations in the thousands, so you can't let them stay in an area for too long, especially in groups. Both types of giants also spread disorder in the provinces they're stationed in.

I think Hinnom ends up simulating the world before the Flood better than the post-flood Canaanite peoples, Philistines or Israelites.

But in later ages Hinnom turns into Ashdod and later Gath. I haven't played as these later iterations, but I did check their stats and the giants weren't eating as many people as before.

My guess is that Hinnom is simulating antedeluvian Nephilim-ruled kingdoms.
Ashdod is equivalent with the era of post-flood giant Rephaites which were dominating until the times of prophet Joshua and the destruction of the Anakites and killing of Og, which was the last Rephaite.

Gath is probably until the era of king David, when giants were rare, encountered in Goliath and his family + some Egyptian six-fingered oddities.
