the difference between temples? + contradict traites?

Uhm Astarte gives that little crack unit called the Sacred Band (Cavalry)... And Hammon gives the Sacred Band (Infantry). AFAIK.

I would say they are mainly for roleplaying, such as always building temples of Aphrodite in formerly Greek cities, which is what I generally do. And thanks for the tip about the sacred band, I wondered how to recruit them.

I thought EB had no units recruitable through temples? Or so some EB member said a while back...

Yeah checked with the EDB and it appears I was wrong.

That could have been before 1.0 though.

No, it wans't. He is thinking of vannila, maybe, which used the temple system, but eb has always used mics. At least it has for all public releases.

I think a different system for temples is needed. Cities didn't have just 1 temple to 1 god in them, especially the Romans.

I'm not saying i have any suggestions on how to better the current system or anything, i'm just saying i think something different is needed. The other alternative is the multiple temples mod... not sure if it's compatible with EB (pretty certain it won't be actually) but i didn't like that, each temple gave its own bonuses and you could end up with every city having 200% loyalty which isn't right.

Perhaps an extra building which represents all the other temples you can build and gives 5% loyalty or something but cannot be upgraded or anything, just a single-tier, one-off building. Wouldn't make much difference i know but still, makes the whole thing feel even more realistic.

I think i'm gonna make a seperate thread about this actually.

Well, some time ago, I played another RTW mod (maybe I.B.F.D.) and it used the following system:

- a city has its main temple/god
=> up to max. level, AND

- the same city can build "smaller" temples to ALL the other gods
=> up to level 2 and giving less boni than a "regular" temple.

I've found that an interesting idea.
