The
Gods
Final bunch:
Demeter
Demeter's Sanctuary is always surrounded by lush meadows - if there
aren't any there beforehand, some new meadowland will appear when
it's built. Demeter herself will gladly sanctify farms, making them
produce 4 times more goods than usual. A prayer might even yield
up some free food, should you need some.
If angered she'll spend her time making your city infertile. When
she's retaliating against you, she likes to destroy crops and kill
sheep and goats.
Hades
Hades's Sanctuary comes with some silver ore, which can be minted
into drachmas, and Cerberus, the 3-headed dog, who will patrol your
city. When walking around your city, Hades himself might take it
upon himself to bless a mint or 2, which will then produce 4 times
more drachmas than usual. Praying to Hades could result in an immediate
financial boost.
Hades likes to bring people back to the Underworld with him. When
he attacks, every walker in the city goes to the Underworld, and
your streets are eerily empty. Hades also likes to curse Foundries
and Mints, and they will not work while they are cursed.
Poseidon
The god of the sea, Poseidon's Sanctuary comes with his pet Kraken,
which will patrol your sea-based buildings and ensure they come
to no harm. It'll also make fisheries and urchin quays more productive.
When taking some air around your city, Poseidon will bless fisheries
and urchin quays, which will then produce 4 times more food than
usual. If you send a prayer in his direction, he might even deliver
some fish straight into your granaries.
Poseidon focuses his anger on your water-related buildings. Trireme
Wharves, Urchin Quays and fisheries cannot hope to escape his wrath.
When he curses these buildings, they become inoperable until the
curse is lifted. Trade ships wont risk Poseidon's wrath and wont
come to your city until they are sure Poseidon has left.
Zeus
Here's the biggie. The most powerful of all Olympians, Zeus will
protect your city and beat off attacks from any other god. His sanctuary
comes with an oracle (like Apollo's), and the Big Man himself can
sanctify any building in your entire city. A successful prayer will
result in him striking down the next army to invade your city.
Zeus wreaks general havoc. He'll destroy the city's Palace, then
look for other buildings to crush. He can perform any god's curse,
and traders wont come to a city cursed by Zeus.
