Yes, I am aware of the effects of the temples, and it may be you are entirely right. Of course this would mean all that factions that cannot build those specific temples would still have a very hard time getting those traits, which may be how it is intended to be. IE. Each faction has stengths and weaknesses in their ability to gain traits based on what temples they can or cannot build.
