Altar of Poseidon 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[]
Ill-tempered Poseidon was the god of the seas and elder brother to Zeus. As a punishment for his defiance, the king of the gods forced him to build the glorious walls of Troy with the help of Apollo; but because King Laomedon refused to pay him for his work, the lord of the ocean decided to side with the Achaeans in the Trojan War. As the Olympian was credited in myth for creating the horse, historians speculate that the story of the Trojan Horse actually refers to an earthquake sent by Poseidon to punish the city.
