Altar of Hera 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[]

The goddess of marriage and queen of Olympus, Hera had a rocky relationship with her husband and younger brother Zeus, who fathered many gods and heroes behind her back. She was often portrayed as a jealous and vengeful wife who punished any who dared to lay down with her unfaithful king. Despite this, she was worshipped around the Aegean as the protector of married women and families, presiding over weddings and blessing marital unions. She played a substantial role in the Iliad, determined to cause Troy’s ruin after Paris proclaimed Aphrodite’s beauty superior to her own.
