{temple_of_battle_shrine_greek} Shrine to Ares
{temple_of_battle_shrine_greek_desc}
This Small Shrine is dedicated to Ares, the Greek God of War, who is not to be confused with the Roman Mars. Ares is far from popular with the other Olympian Gods and he is no heroic figure. Ares is unconcerned who wins or loses in battle, as long as blood is shed, and he does not care how victory is achieved, heroic or otherwise. In battle he is followed by many companions, including Deimos (Terror) and Phobos (Fear), his children by Aphrodite, Enyo (Horror) his sister; and Eris (Goddess of Strife and Discord, instigator of the Trojan War).\n\nHe was loved by Aphrodite, and he repeatedly deceived Hephaestus, his brother, by making love with his beautiful wife. The sun god Helios saw them, and revealed the affair to Hephaestus, who forged a net to catch the two lovers in the act. When he did, he invited the Olympian gods and goddesses to view the unfortunate pair. For the sake of modesty, the goddesses refused, but the male gods went and witnessed the sight, to the great embarrassment of Ares and Aphrodite.\n\nAres had many children, some of which were rivals of Heracles, as was Ares himself was. Ares bore a hatred for Heracles, for he slew several of his children, raped his daughter Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons; and was himself wounded by Heracles. Twice Ares would have killed him if were not for the intervention of Zeus and Athena.\n\nThere were few worship sites in Greece, as few people wished to invoke war. Ares enjoyed his strongest worship in the northern limits of the Greek world, especially in Thrace where his sons Thrax and Biston once dwelt. In Sparta there was a statue of the god in chains, to show that the spirit of war and victory was never to leave the city.\n\nThis Small Shrine can be improved as the settlement grows in size and importance.

{temple_of_battle_shrine_roman} Shrine to Mars
{temple_of_battle_shrine_roman_desc}
This Shrine is dedicated to Mars, the God of War. His children from Rhea Silvia were the twins Romulus and Remus. Rhea’s uncle, Numitor, ordered a servant to kill the twins, but out of mercy the servant put the twins in a basket and placed them on the Tiber, where the River God took pity on them and gave them to a she-wolf. The she-wolf raised the twins, until they where found by local farmers. When they reached adulthood, they founded a settlement on the Palatine hill in 753BC. After an argument over where the city should be built (which Romulus won), Remus jumped the cities unfinished walls, which was considered an ill omen and an insult; suggesting that the defences would be easily breached. Romulus killed his brother, and then proclaimed himself King, and named the new city Rome.\n\nLinked with the Greek Ares, Mars is a more popular and heroic figure than his Greek counterpart. Mars was originally the god of fertility and vegetation (His name coming from the Latinized form of Maris, an Etruscan agriculture god), and the protector of cattle; god of spring, but later he became the Roman god of war and battle. He was said to be the protector of the soldier on the battlefield, and was also the most widely worshipped Roman god, as he fathered Romulus and Remus. To Mars was dedicated the first month of the Roman year, the month of Martius, from where we derive March. The Campus Martia is named in his honour.
{temple_of_battle_shrine_roman_desc_short}
This Shrine is dedicated to Mars, the God of War, and therefore a popular deity amongst the warlike Romans. He is also the patron of husbandmen.
So for each temple (i.e. the stuff in the first code box) you'll need to make 5 levels that looks like the one above for the temple of battle shrine. Every faction/culture that you see in the temple lists above you will need one set of descriptions per temple level. The barbarian factions only need descriptions for the first three levels of any temple since they can't build awesome temples or pantheons.
A lot of the descriptions are already in the export_buildings.txt file I'm including in the zip file that has the temple of battle shrine changes already included it, especially the greek and roman descriptions should be almost all there somewhere though not necessarily with the correct temple, some like Ceres you will find the vanilla version of the file. Also any faction/culture that isn't being used for a particular temple could you remove it's warning lines, but leave the generic one that each level of temple has (the first three entries for each level of each temple).
Here's the list of website I used to get the deity information:
Belgae/Gauls/Spain:
Celtic Deities
Mythography | Celtic Gaul - Gods and Goddesses in Myth and Art
Iberian Deities
Category:Basque and Iberian deities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Germans:
Teutonic Deities
West Germanic deities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scythia/Sarmatians:
Ossetia Online Forum: Scythian gods
akinakes
Armenia:
History of Armenia by Vahan Kurkjian • Chapter 34
Category:Armenian deities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Egyptian:
Egyptian Gods Description
Greek/Roman:
Greek and Roman Gods
Also wikipedia will help, but as said earlier most of these should already exist in the file or the vanilla file (the only exceptions I can think of are Hera and Victoria).
If you have any questions just ask and I'll try to answer them.
EDIT: @ 12:20 EST I re-uploaded the export_buildings.zip file.
