Introduction
===========================================================================
Sanctuaries are large places that the gods desire, and they offer a place
of worship for each god. 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.
* Orchard of Hera (Available in Poseidon Expansion Pack ONLY)
When you complete the Orchard of Hera, two stands of Orange Trees sprout
up in front of her Sanctuary. These Orange Trees can be harvested by
a tender from an Orange Tenders' Lodge. When she is out and about in
your city, she might sanctify your Corrals and Orange Tenders' Lodges.
While sanctified, these buildings produce more food than usual.
Hera is also the only deity who can stand up to Zeus and send him
packing. If Zeus attacks a city that worships Hera, she will make
sure that Zeus causes no damage. She also increases your population
by making your citizens more fertile. They give birth to more babies
while Hera is in residence.
A prayer to the goddess helps you keep the city's Agoras stocked. When
Hera answers your prayer, she helps all the vendors in your city uncover
some stock that they did not realize they had. If Hera notices that your
Agoras are running low on supplies, she may grant this blessing on her
own. Hera only helps those Vendors' Stalls that have employees.
When she is upset, Hera...well, let's just say that she does some
interesting things to your people. Hera also kills half the cattle being
raised in your city and destroys the orange crop. To top it off, she
convinces all the other leaders in the world to think less of you.
* Pillar of Atlas (Available in Poseidon Expansion Pack ONLY)
When you complete the Pillar of Atlas, the great god induces your
stonecutters to work more quickly. Artisans' Guilds also send out more
artisans to construction sites. If Atlas sanctifies a Masonry Shop or
Black Marble Workshop while wandering around your city, then the sanctified
building will produce more marble than usual.
If Atlas hears your prayer, he will speed up the construction of a
Sanctuary or Pyramid. When he responds to your prayer, he makes his way
to a construction site. Any materials en route to the site magically
appear, and the construction materials somehow last longer than they
should. For a short time, the artisans continue to work without needing
new supplies.
When Atlas invades, any unfortunate people who cross his path are turned
to stone. He also curses your Black Marble Workshops and Masonry Shops.
Any marble on the premises is destroyed, and no more is delivered until
the curse wears off. Atlas also curses Artisans' Guilds. When cursed,
any artisan working on a project dies, and other artisans, not wanting
the same cruel fate to befall them, stay in the Artisans' Guild until
the curse ends.
* Citadel of Poseidon (Available in Poseidon Expansion Pack ONLY)
Poseidon is the father of Atlantis, and when Atlanteans worship
him they build the Citadel of Poseidon. The Citadel of Poseidon
provides the same benefits as the Promontory of Poseidon, but it is
a much more majestic building, befitting of the god's stature in
Atlantis. The central feature of the Citadel of Poseidon is a gorgeous
statue of the god is his element, surrounded by leaping dolphins and
beautiful Nereids.
===========================================================================
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.
===========================================================================
