The
Gods
In Zeus, you'll encounter 12 different gods, all of whom can have
quite an effect on how your city functions. Building a sanctuary
to a particular deity will bring that god to the city, but beware
if you cross them.
Here they all are:
Dionysus
The god of wine, Dionysus's Sanctuary comes with 4 grapevines which
can be harvested by your growers and turned into wine at your wineries.
When he's wandering around your city, he might feel the need to
bless a winery - if he does so, then that building will produce
4 times the normal amount of wine. Praying to Dionysus might even
result in him providing you with some wine from his own personal
stores.
If you anger him, then watch out - he'll invade your city with
a bunch of drunkards and spirit a certain number of your citizens
off to eternal drunkenness, and might slap a curse on your wine
industry for good measure. He's the weakest god of all, though,
so the presence of any other deity will probably send him running,
tail between his legs.
Hermes
Hermes is the god of trade, and the presence of his Sanctuary will
speed up all of your walkers (including trade ships and caravans).
If a sacrifice can be found, then you can pray to him in the hope
that he'll fulfil an outstanding request.
When angered, Hermes will steal some of your hard-won cash, and
possible even disturb your land trade routes.
Aphrodite
The goddess of love brings joy and harmony to your city - her sanctuary
will increase city appeal, and will prevent emigration. She will
bless your houses, increasing the number of people living in them,
and will also persuade Area, Hephaestus, Hermes or Dionysus to leave
your city without damaging it. Praying to Aphrodite could result
in her increasing your overall population.
An angry Aphrodite will spirit a load of your walkers away, together
with a portion of your overall population.
Hephaestus
Hephaestus's Sanctuary comes with 4 ore deposits, which can be
mined for the benefit of your city. It also prevents any and all
fires (but remember that maintenance officers also prevent your
buildings from falling down!). Hep will sanctify armories and foundries,
ensuring they produce 4 times the normal amount of goods. Praying
to the blacksmith of the gods might result in him sending his bronze
friend, Talos, to protect your city from invaders.
When angered, Hep will set some of your buildings on fire, and
might curse your sculpture studios and armories.
