Is the Programme helping me?

[Vincent Butler]

So the question is: Has the programme been helping me, is this the standard Macedonian temples or is this coincidence?

Depends. Yes, Artemis does give a missile bonus, and yes, it is that good. Actually, a Macedonian Pentheion to Zeus gives a bonus to missile troops as well, enough to get you to gold sword on your missile troops (I believe it is only going to do that with help from a foundry, which would give +2 to missile troops). You can usually find multiple temples to Artemis in Macedon's empire. Here it is. I am compiling an Excel file of the temples, and a Pentheion to Zeus give +2 to missiles.

However, I have had a campaign (Seleucia, I believe) where Macedon did not build a single religious building to Artemis. I was not happy about that, since I rely on that for my missile troops. Fortunately with Seleucia missile troops are not a major part of your military.

Doesn't Scythia (it might be Dacia) give a +1 to armour with one of their temples? Of course Gaul has Abnoba for your missiles and Teutatis for your light weapons. Armenia also has a max temple that improves armour.
