My motto when playing Julii. If province has high fertility (natural growth) build Jupiter temple, if not Ceres.Originally Posted by lars573
As for Bacchus temple, only good thing about it is that it gives some cool retunue memebrer, including several that give bonus to spies and assassins. My strategy is to build it in some unimportant city that got 2000+ pop (segesta maybe?) and putting your worst general there. Then when when you get retinues just swap them to good generals.
My motto here, build usually Saturn, and Vulcan in strategic points (where you move army to be upgraded).Originally Posted by lars573
As for Nepture, it doesn't really give any VnVs and looks useless before 4th level, but there is chance to get some retinunes for your admiral when buidling ships, which give command stars, so it's not total loos. Build it in city that has high growth (so it will get to higher levels more quickly) and is specialized in naval units.
Build Juno in cities with low fertility, for those with bit higher fertility build Mercury for cities with good trade (for maximum gain), and Mars where you plan to build lots of troops.The Brutii worship Juno, Mercury and Mars.
Juno: 25% happiness, 25% health, level 1 trade increase, +2XP -The temple of healing. This will give a family member traits like "in the pink", or "hail and hardy". The retinues it grants are good for morale and healing your troops after battle, plus the doctor it will grant is good for having kids too.
Mercury: 25% happiness, 10% health, level 5 trade increase, +1XP -The temple of trade. This is one of those temples that is a razors edge, a family member put here will either be an astounding governor or a really really craptacular one. No middle of the road. The retinues members it hands out all increase either trade income or managment.
Mars: 25% happiness, 10% health, level 1 trade increase, +3XP, +1 moral, Arcani -The temple of battle, all the Roman factions have a temple that give very desirable civic or military bonuses but very bad traits this is the Brutii's. The traits it usually grants are anger and bloodlust, but with a much much higher probability than the temple of Neptune. It has some good retinue member the preist is good as is the werstler and gladiator it will give. but that doesn't quite make up for the fact that is turns your family members into a demented, abusive, phsychotic, maniac given enough time.
Important thing to rememeber that Mars gives bloodlust and anger, while mercury gives some good bonuses as well as some terrible vices (usually gained aftre city becomes bigger).
All together, it's always good stragety to mix temples whatever faction you play That way you can combine all retunue memebers.
P.S.
Also Neptune does give any vices at all as far as I remember.
