Guide to Temples

**Soulflame** · 10-14-2004, 12:52

I made a PDF file out of all these statistics (of course with credits to Sinner in the file), which has 1 row for each temple. It's 7 pages long, and only 132kb. I don't have a hosting place so if anyone want to host it, please give me a PM or email.

Maybe it also could use an intro, but after yesterday night and today copy-pasting and formatting so many excel cells, I can't see excel for a while...

Please post any errors as well, so I can correct them.

Just wanted to say...

Thank you for this. You win the prize.

Thank you for the list!

Can anyone explain what are the difference and benefits between:

Public order bonus due to happiness
Public order bonus due to law

Law also reduces the amount of corruption in a city, plus law temples may give access to extra ancilliaries sometimes.

Ah ha!

Sorry to bother you, but....

Why would you want to reduce corruption (I know there's a reason)? Corruption adds to income, so what's the negative?

Thanks.

There is positive and negative corruption. Look at your settlement scroll, if you see corruption icons (hands with some money in it), then ... well you have corruption then, and building temples with law will reduce that amount (I think it was about 50 per 5% law, but I haven't tested this yet).

Sidenote: I uploaded the PDF guide at the NET:

It was a lot of copy-pasting, so there may be one or two mistakes in it. If you spot one, please tell me. Thanks

I personally have only noticed negative corruption, Tora (it's on the bottom of the income line)...

if you're playing Julii, here's how you might approach it...

Both Bacchus and Jupiter give equal Public Order at each level except Pantheon, BUT Jupiter does it via half of it due to law. At the Pantheon level, however, both give 1% growth and 10% law BUT Bacchus gives 50% happiness while Jupiter gives 35%. As a strategy, then, you should go with Bacchus close to home, where corruption is low, and Jupiter elsewhere, unless the province has sucky income. (Maybe this means 'inland' like in MTW, but just what is good and bad for income isn't totally clear to me yet, nor which provinces.) This is assuming you don't want growth; if you do, go with Ceres... you can use Ceres when small (when it can otherwise take a long time to build up population AND only a few peasants are needed to max the garrison Public Order), then trash the Ceres and go with one of the other two when you get to say 6k or whatever.
