Altar of Apollo is a temple building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These can be built exclusively in province capitals. Only a single temple can be built in each province. Each temple built earns 10 additional favour gained from a hecatomb. Each new temple also increases the cost of a hecatomb by 25%. Temples enable the recruitment of priestesses. Every temple increases the capacity for fieldable priestesses by 1 up to a maximum of 3.
Description[]
Beloved by both gods and mortals, Apollo was one of the most important members of the Olympian pantheon, with temples consecrated to him all around the Aegean. He is the god of the sun, music, knowledge, and poetry, and is credited with the invention of the bow as well as stringed instruments. In the Iliad, he fought on the side of the Trojans, sending a plague into the Achaean camp when Agamemnon slighted one of his priests. According to legend, it was he who, along with Poseidon, erected the magnificent walls of Troy.
