New Temple system

[Admus]

Is there some sort of RTR platinum 1.9 guide document, or FAQ for new gameplay additions (relative to 'vanillla')? Specifically, I'm thinking of things like the new temple system in place. I'm trying the Romans first and it seems there's a diferent sort of thing going on with how temples are built/used.

Thanks for your help!

Basically, the first temple you choose will be your "major" temple. This is the temple that you will be able to upgrade to its highest tier. The minor temples can only be upgraded to the second level. I like building a ton of minor temples; it's a nice way to boost public order.

me too: i always build all the temples

Terrific, thanks. Yeah, I've just been building them all to maintain good public order. Though I try to make the commercial temples the main ones in my big, central cities. I'm not sure if it matters a great deal.

I don't think they provide any other bonus than a happiness bonus.

But yes, I'm a newbie to RTR too, it would be very helpful to have a guide or something like that.

I thought some give you increases in tradeable goods, while others give experience bonuses to recruited troops, or population growth, etc.

I like to konw which temple I'm getting when I pick one at the start, since they're all the same at that point. For now I'm sticking with Jupiter and Mars.

They do? I've only played with Rome and Bactria on RTR, so I'm not sure about the rest, but these two factions' temples are identical except for the ancillaries they provide.
