Altar of Zeus 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 god of thunder and the sky, Zeus was the king of all gods and men, ruler of Olympus, and the chief figure in Achaean mythology. He was perhaps best known for his rampaging infidelity; Greek myths depict him as a notorious womaniser who sired children left and right by laying with mortals and immortals alike. Helen of Troy was herself the product of his affair with the human princess Leda, while the great Trojan hero Sarpedon was born of his union with a woman named Laodamia.
