You'll find that ZPG discussion here:

The ZPG part doesn't begin until about 10 or 12 posts in so just scroll down a bit.
I've been able to do it with every faction I've played (though not in every single city). Even with barbarian factions like Germania, Dacia, and Gaul. It's been a very long time since I've played Parthia or Thrace, and those two factions have the worst temple selections of any faction...in fact, Parthia gets only one temple and not a very good one at that. So ZPG might be a tough nut to crack for those two.....I don't think it can be achieved with every faction.
Quite so. If you play Armenia, for instance, and come across an Egyptian Temple of Horus at pantheon level, keep it! Even though Armenia has it's own "forge" type of temple (Vahagan), even at max level and combined with a forge, you can't get gold missile status for your Cataphract Archers. The Horus temple will.Some temples I leave in place, mainly the ones that give upgrades to weapons/armor, or that increase trade
Another example is the Gallic Temple of Epona. If you find it at max level (3), keep it! Romans can, for some strange reason, continue to upgrade it to a pantheon in the form of one of their own temples and then you can recruit troops with two silver exp. chevrons
Another suggestion with temples is to not be afraid of using the fun/growth temples. You can always tear them down later and replace them with something else. Germania is a good example. At the start of a Germanian campaign, you have three of your five starting cities with pitiful population levels (<1000, IIRC). So it's Temple of Freyja all around until you reach 6k. Then remove them and replace with one of your "war" temples.
