Those temple descriptions were mentioned quite a lot.

The temple descriptions were the first job I was tasked with when I was invited to join the team. Initially I was only working on the Boii, however as we began to suffer manpower shortages from the other Celtic researchers my portfolio increased and I ended up writing for the Arevaci, Pritanoi, Aedui and Arverni also. As each faction has 5 gods (not counting the "special deities" who we need to build into the game) this resulted in a total of 100 long descriptions and 100 short descriptions required for the Celtic temples. In contrast to EB, where most historical data for buildings did not vary depending on the tier of building, I wanted to give the factions I was working on a more in depth feel. As a result each of the descriptions and the historical data with them is unique (although one or two have been re-used for different factions to speed up the release). Furthermore as I was not as mature in my research or writing style, not to mention I had access to fewer sources at the beginning than I do now (already spent £20 this morning on a new textbook on Gaul), the earlier descriptions had many grammatical errors which I Am Herenow has kindly spent months picking over.

Hence, they get mentioned a lot.
