    Default Factions with xp bonus temples

    One thing that tends to get brought up in threads about the Sweboz is the usefulness of their xp increasing temples. It's mentioned in connection with them so often I wasn't aware some other factions (at least one anyway) have them as well. Just conquered Patavium in a Sweboz game and noticed it had a Roman temple with +2 xp and +2 or so morale.

    Does anyone know of any other factions with temples with similar bonuses?

    Getai have a Temple of Ares, which grants +1 exp at the highest level, in addition to 15% law bonus (most IMBA faction evar).

    IIRC two or three other factions have it, too. Some factions have an exp bonus included in some government types (Swêboz, Getai, Baktria), usually type 2 or 3 (though in the case of Baktria, it is type 1!!!).

    The Swêboz temple is the one of Deiwoz, or Tyr. Combined with type 3 government and Field of Games you can crank out veteran troops with 4 chevrons.

    Look out for wonders with exp boni. They are rare, but the Kogaionon for example gives the Getai 1 free point of exp (as if the buggers needed it - they got the best morale values anyway).

    Thanks. I didn't know there was a temple other than Deiwoz for the Sweboz that added xp.

    I guess for Baktria the bonus for a type 1 would be offset a bit by how few homeland territories they'd be likely to have.

    So at the very least we have the Sweboz, Romani, and Getai with xp increasing temples.

    Hellenic factions have their Gymnasiums which increase xp.

    They have at least eight homeland provinces, which is quite good - better than most factions, in actually.

    Both Gallic faction have the Temple of Teutates (same as the Getai one for Ares), which also gives +1 exp, and 20% law (wow - forgot about that one).
    Qart Hadast and Baktria idem, although they don't get the law bonus (har har).
    Pontos gets +1 exp from the Seleukid Atargatis Temple (which they can't build themselves) on level 1 already (this is madness).
    Hayasdan has this for the Temple of Anahita, though only on the highest level.
    Sauromatae get +1 exp from the Temple of the Sword.
    Swêboz get +3 exp (!!!) from the lvl 3 Temple of Nerthuz (with other factions: Dionysos, Sucellos, Vesta, Nabia, Mên, Cernunnos, Sword, ...), which they can't build themselves.

    The Temple of Deiwoz is the only "regular" one though with +2 exp.

    AFAIK Romani don't have xp bonus except from type IV gov. That's why I modded the buidings to give them a few.

    For the Saka the combination of:

    -Field of Games
    -Hunting Grounds
    -Altar of Haoma

    in the same settlement gives the troops trained there +3 experience, which I guess makes up for the lack of improved armour until you reach an Indian/Greek city.

    Hmm, I would have guessed they had less. That's what I get for not playing that far in the east enough.
