which temples would you build for carthage? are there any war temples for them? is the trophet of carthage a good temple? it seems really poor to me

No War or equipment temples IIRC. Trade temples are the way to go for them. And the Trophet isn't bad at all.

I build Baal in a lot of settlements because they have bad public order (not really starting settlements in Africa though... Mainly Iberian and Italian settlements). Otherwise the trade one (Melqart).

ok thanks. what about yamm? it gives an awesome boat and trade effect

**Scutarii** · December 02, 2008, 07:19 PM

Either one of the trade ones is good... Yamm actually might be better because it gives an extra boat..

With naval temples (like Yamm) the trade bonus flattens out once you start getting the advanced ships. With trade temples (like Melqart) the trade bonus keeps increasing with every level. So stick with trade unless you really want the ships.

The Tophet is well worth having. You get happiness, trade, and health bonuses which gives you a very large, happy, and wealthy city. The special temples are almost always worth keeping unless they are a long way from your capital and you absolutely need a law bonus.
