    Default Temple ponderings

    I'm currently considering dropping the Julii's temple of Bacchus for something else entirely. But this really cuts to a specific issue - how to make temples of fun worthwhile? Compares to temples that offer law and happiness bonuses, they simply get left in the dust. While law temples decrease corruption AND give governors abilities that pacify the populace further (depending on whether it's a leadership/justice/governor temple), the temple of fun does not affect corruption and gives the governor abilities that make him a much less able charactrer all around. So if we're to use temples of fun, we must keep characters out of those settlements, and we're only going to be using them if no better law-providing option is available. Doesn't this seem like a poor choice of temple to be using?

    So I suppose I have two questions I'd like your opinions on:

    1) How would you change temples of fun to make them more appealing to use? I think it is appropriate for them to give characters partying/drinking/orgy traits, but they'd need to offer something in addition to their current effects to justify it. Temples of violence offer some definite troop benefits at the expense of some less-desirable (bloodthirsty) character traits. Similarly, temples of trade offer marked financial benefits for some less-desirable (miserly) traits. Temples of fun, however, do not offer any unique benefits to the settlement to justify their debilitating effects on characters within.

    2) If you were to replace the temple of Bacchus for Julii (as is, nobody in their right mind constructs it instead of the temple of Jupiter), what would you replace it with? I'm currently considering a troop-augmenting temple, either Hunting (Diana) or Victory (Minerva). What would you reccomend?

    i think itd be ideal to have twice the amount of happiness tha what the law temples give in total, as these temples would have been much better accepted by the population, also agents should get better traits there (courtesian and the like)also make them cheaper.
