Ceres the best god??

[Caivs Wifficvs Britanicvs]

Hi, Im playing the new EB as the Romans and i think that Ceres is the best god to have in my cities. My economy is mainly based on coastal trade around Italy, Iberia, Western North Africa and Greece. Is it worth destroying all my temples and building new ones dedicated to Ceres to get the trade bonus? On the basis that a strong economy props up a strong military. Is the extra trade income worth more than the bonus' from other gods in the long run?
First Post Whooooo!

If you own all of that you should be bringing in 50k a turn anyway. I purposely avoid building temples to ceres because the game becomes boring when the only worry you have is stacking Capua up with 10 of the most expensive navy vessels because you have absurd amounts of money coming in.

Not to mention the horrible traits your family members get when you have a tons of gold.

It is true that Cerses is the most efficent, though.

I use 3 gods: Ceres for coastal cities to boost economy, Mars for militarized cities to boost morale stats, and Jupiter for Rome and far outlying cities that needs a public order boost.

:D

You do realise morale bonus only ever aplied to the troops that were curently in the province, and it is broken now anyway?

Do you have a reference for this?

There are other temples that level off at trade base income 4 besides Ceres, the Carthies get one and Pahlava and KH, possibly more got bored of looking in the EDB. The Romans are not that difficult of a faction economically so if you feel Ceres will bring you too much money, you can build it only on Sicily and/or other places that had great agriculture, it's fun to mix the gods and find out their effects at the top level, they almost never disappoint...

[Pharnakes]

I think he is asking is Cerses the best roman god, not the best overall.

Incedentaly, my personal overall favourite is the Makedonian Zeus.

Juno
extreme population bonus

Population = Increased Tax Income and more units to draft and more advanced buildings?

trade income = trade income?

so there you have it
if they had a god or goddess that is roman that gives exp bonus then that would be first then population bonus then public order

public order = higher acceptable taxes

Since you actually can't (or can you?) check if a unit has morale bonuses and everyone thinks they get them, it's safe to say it doesn't matter. If Pharnakes hadn't said anything (bad Pharnakes, bad) no one would even be questioning that, since morale bonuses are very hard to actually notice.
