A long time ago I had a vaguely similar idea. It wouldn't have been so high powered but instead going for ancient magic and strange secretive cults and priesthoods and stuff. Kind of a touching on the mystery of the dawn of civilization kind of an idea. If I revisited those ideas now though, they would be heavily informed by a lot of reading that has convinced me that the dawn of civilization is the source of all evil (well, that's approximate and something of a misrepresentation, but yeah, you get the idea). Anyways, I'd be more interested in it if it leaned not towards Supers but towards Horror, but that's just me. City Stats, Mass Combat and Social Engineering sound perfect though.
