So if I capture a main city for a particular religion with the great temple built for that religion in that city and convert to that religion would I get the +1 gold from cities w/that religion or is that building destroyed/doesn't provide +1 after capture?

And sorry that could not remember the correct names for that type of building, I am Russian - you can forgive me :king:

You are talking about the Shrine? You don't have to convert, you get the gold anyway. But captured Shrine doesn't produce culture.

And I think nothing destroyes Shrines.

the Shrine for that religion, the special building you can only make in the Holy City, yes! that building does NOT get destroyed if you capture it, it always stays. and you do earn +1g from every city on the map that has that religion, for as long as you keep that city. what's even better is ... you don't even have to convert to the religion! you get the money from the shrine whether it's your state religion or not.

but, if it is your state religion, then it gives you "line of sight" into all cities that have that religion ... it lets you see those cities on the map all the time. they're not covered in "fog of war", you can tell what units are standing in them.

and yes you are of course completely forgiven for not remembering the word shrine. i doubt there are many people that use it in everyday conversation in any language :)

Wrong - nothing should destroy a Shrine - but this was one of the bug fixes in Warlords 2.08:


Shrines immune to nukes


In Vanilla you still can use nukes to destroy a shrine :evil:

Thanks guys! That's good news about the Shrines. I figured they should work that way after capture, but in my game it seemed they did not! I just remembered that I am still "unupdated" to 2.08 (lazy me). That is probably why it looked to me that way...
