Thanks for the info. I was hoping for some different priests, but at least now I can tear down the temples when I want to without feeling like I'm missing out.

sapi: You can transfer retinue, as long as the characters are in the same army and the same type (general-general, spy-spy, etc). I've never tried adding multiple (different) priests to one guy yet though. Drag the portrait of the retinue member to the other guy's unit card. I only recently figured out that you could exchange them (thanks to this forum) and my guys are pretty spread out at the moment.

Seems to me the manual has got some nuggets of wisdom buried amongst a lot of Really Obvious Description. I don't know if others have gotten that impression or if I'm on crack there...
