    Default who is Sabazious?

    I'm playing Pontus and one of my generals just gained a Sabazios worshipper trait. Problem is there is no temple of Sabazios in recently conquered Sinope. I think I burned a Posiedon temple previously... Anyway I want to build something to make my ruler/people in the city happy. Which one of my four deities correspond to this mysterious Sabazios? Kybele, Mithra, Men or Zues?

    Also can anyone point me to a good thread regarding temple bonuses in regards to priests my govenors can get? Do govenors gain other traits based on temples in my city? For example if I build a Hermes temple does my ruler gain trade-type traits? Do traits run similarly across cultures, for example do all agriculture gods give my govenors bonuses related to agriculture? Did I ask enough questions?

    He's associated with Zeus, but his rituals reminded the Greeks of Dionysos. Poseidon's temple is the temple_of_battle, so that may be where you got the trait. I guess you could say that your general worshipped Sabazios and destroyed the temple of Poseidon so he could build one to Zeus (Sabazios). Generals who worship Sabazios and build temples to him are more likely to drink and be brave.

    Ah! the Generals! they are numerous, but not good for much (especially if they're Languorous)!
