Building these structures isn't always the easiest thing to do. You can't just build it like you can, say a Tax Collector, where you just choose the structure from the menu on the right and place it on the ground, and poof, it's up. Sanctuaries take a long time to construct. They require six things: space, road access, workers (builders), marble, wood, and sculptures. =========================================================================== Sanctuary Descriptions/Functions =========================================================================== * Zeus' Stronghold When you build Zeus' Stronghold, Zeus, Ruler of Heaven provides you with an Oracle hat can predict the future. For more information on how to use the Oracle, see page 124. Zeus himself will also defend you against any god that dares to set foot in your city. Other leaders of Greece will take notice of Zeus' affection for you, and they will think more highly of you. Sometimes, Zeus will wander around your city, taking in the sites. In his travels, he will occasionally sanctify a building. Because he is the most powerful god, he can perform any god's sanctification. You can also pray to Zeus (page 124). If he grants your prayer, he will defeat the next army that attacks your city. If you are in great danger, Zeus might grant you this blessing of his own accord. * Promontory Of Poseidon Poseidon, Ruler of the Sea, will be so pleased when you build him his Sanctuary, he will send his Kraken to patrol your city's waters, killing any enemies that enter them. He'll also convince urchins and fish to allow themselves to be caught faster. Poseidon will also stroll ...er, swim... around the city and will sanctify Fisheries and Urchin Quays. While they are sanctified, Fisheries and Urchin Quays will be more productive. The ever-versatile Poseidon is also patron of horses and will also sanctify Horse Ranches. While sanctified, more horses will magically appear in Horse Ranches. Poseidon will give you seafood if your city is low on food, and you can also pray to him for this blessing. * Gates Of Hades Build Hades' Sanctuary, and the Ruler of the Underworld will loan you his favorite pet, Cerberus, wanders the city on his own and attacks any enemies. The Gates also have some deposits of silver ore that miners from a Mint can gather. Hades can sanctify Tax Offices, Mints, and Foundries. While the Tax Office is sanctified, houses in the vicinity will pay more taxes. While the Mint or Foundry is sanctified, it becomes more productive. Finally, you can pray to Hades for Money. If Hades notices on his own that you are low on money, he might give you money or he'll see to it that one of your allies provides you with funds. * Garden Of Demeter Fertile meadow surrounds the Garden of Demeter, Goddess of Fertility. You can use land for farms, livestock, and orchards. On her walks around your city, Demeter will sanctify your farms, making them yield more food. If Demeter notices that you are low on food, she will bring food from her own harvest to the Granaries. You can also pray to Demeter to receive this blessing. * Arbor of Athena When you build the Arbor of Athena, Goddess of Warriors, Crafts, and Wisdom, she provides you with an arbor of sacred Olive Trees that growers from a Growers' Lodge can tend and harvest. She also endows the soldiers in your city with more strength, and she herself will defend your city if it is threatened. When Athena makes a foray into your city, she might sanctify your Carding Sheds and Olive Presses. While they are sanctified, these buildings will become more productive. You can pray to Athena for olives and olive oil, and she might grant you this blessing on her own if she notices that you are running low on the items. * Artemis' Menagerie Artemis, Goddess of Hunters, loans you two companies of fierce Amazon warriors. She will also stroll around your city and hunt down any predators she sees killing another animal or person. The building that she sanctifies is the Boar Hunter's Lodge. While sanctified, the hunters from the Lodge find that their spears can't miss, and they are much more productive. Pray to Artemis if you want her to bring you some pork. She'll grant this blessing voluntarily if she notices that you are particularly low on food. * Oracle Of Apollo Apollo is the God of Prophecy. If you build his Sanctuary, he will grant you use of his Oracle with which you can redict the future. The god will also endow your city's philosophers, athletes, actors, and competitors with more skills, giving them a better chance of winning the Pan-Hellenic Games. Apollo will also kill any monsters that attack your city. When the god takes a walk, he might sanctify your Podiums, Gymnasiums, Theaters, and Stadium. While these buildings are sanctified, more walkers will emerge from them to entertain the neighborhood. If Apollo answers your prayer, he will cure the city of plague and improve citizens' health. He might also grant this blessing on his own if he notices that a plague has broken out. * Ares' Fortress Ares, God of War, grants you the use of two companies of his fierce warriors, the Sparti, when you build his Fortress. He will also take his Dragon for an occasional walk and allow his pet to feast on an invader, wolf, or vicious boar. Pray to Ares if you would like him to accompany your soldiers into battle at another city. Ares loves a good fight, so sometimes he will go with your soldiers voluntarily. * Forge of Hephaestus Honor Hephaestus, Smith of Heaven, with a Sanctuary, and he gives you the gifts of the Forge. Copper ore lies outside the Sanctuary, and miners from a Foundry can extract the ore. Hephaestus also prevents your city's buildings from burning down. As Hephaestus walks around your city, he sanctifies some of your Armories and Sculpture Studios. While the buildings are sanctified, the workers find that bronze is much easier to work with, and they produce more armor and sculpture than they usually do. Pray to Hephaestus, and he will answer your prayer by granting you the use of Talos, his man of bronze. Talos will defend your city from attack for a few months. If Hephaestus senses that you are in trouble, he might send Talos to you on his own. * Aphrodite's Haven Aphrodite, Goddess of the Tender Passions, makes your city so attractive that people refuse to leave. No one will emigrate as long as Aphrodite's Haven is working in the city. She will also make your city seem more appealing to its residents. And, if Ares, Hephaestus, Hermes, or Dionysus come into your city to cause trouble, Aphrodite will send them packing. On her strolls, she sanctifies some of your houses, and they will gain more residents if they have room. If Aphrodite answers your prayer, she will bless all of your city's houses with more residents. She might even perform this blessing for you voluntarily if she notices that your city's housing is mostly vacant. * Hermes' Refuge Hermes, Messenger of the Gods, is a friend of traders. He will convince trade caravans and ships to move through your city quicker, which means that they drop off and pick up supplies faster. He also convinces more trade caravans and ships to come to your city every year. Deliverymen also move faster when Hermes is in residence. You can also pray to Hermes, and he will fulfill one outstanding request on your behalf with no cost to you. He'll also offer this blessing to you of his own accord. * Grove of Dionysus Dionysus, God of the Vine, hates to see any city go without wine. His Sanctuary has a grove of Grapevines that growers from the Growers' Lodge can harvest. Life is a party with Dionysus around, and people are having far too much fun for any unrest to develop. As he stumbles around your city, Dionysus sanctifies Wineries. While sanctified, the vintners are able to ferment more wine than they usually can. You can also pray to Dionysus to give you wine of his own accord if he notices that you are low on his favorite beverage. =========================================================================== Sanctuary Construction =========================================================================== If you're going to worship a god, you will need to build a Sanctuary. In 'Pharaoh', we had to build Pyramids and several other structures. Well, in 'Zeus', we have to build these rather large Sanctuaries. Every Sanctuary has a different size. Due to that fact, each Sanctuary will require a different amount of marble to place the base and steps. When you have enough money and marble, you can start construction on the Sanctuary. The process is very similar to building the buildings in 'Pharaoh'. For the largest Sanctuaries, you cannot see the entire footprint of the building when trying to find a spot for it's construction. In this situation, find a place for the building, and press the [m] key. This will freeze the footprint and you can view the surrounding area. You can also press the [r] key to rotate the building. Sanctuaries require road access to function. Placing the base and steps of a Sanctuary is only the beginning. To complete the whole project, you'll need the services of some artisans from an Artisans' Guild and supplies of marble, wood, and scultpures. An Artisans' Guild needs road access to operate. Be aware that the Guilds have a negative effect on Desirability. Now it's just a matter of time before the project is complete. =========================================================================== Sanctuary Construction Stats =========================================================================== Each sanctuary requires a different amount of resources to be built. Below are some figures that will inform you of how much of something you will need to build each sanctuary.
