A couple of noob questions

[HoratiusFlaccus]

Hi all,
the last time that I played a civilization game was a long long time ago, but recently I decided to try this modification and I'm really enjoying it.
Needless to say, I'm still trying to understand stuff.

If somebody would be so kind as to answer these questions, I would appreciate it:

- the pagan Temple is supposed to give me plus one happiness from incense, but in a game that I just started I had incense next to my first city, build the plantation and road and didn't get a change in the happiness cap. Am I missing something or do I still need a specific new technology to trigger the change?

- the disciple and priest's healing ability doesn't seem cumulative to me. So, I should only need one per stack for increased healing?

Not sure about this one. Is there a tech you need that you're missing? (Only non-bug possibility I can think of at the moment.)

That's right on the healing, the effect does stack.

For priests, you'll want to get a few for spells, though you are right that you don't often need more than a few to be effective.

Acctualy some priests are still worth spamming, priests of leaves for massive blooming ,cultists/ritualists for massive damage, would come to mind.

Incense requires the tech Philosophy to be operative.

what does lucian do?

 

[Breunor]

Lucian can be very important early, which is when the Doviello have to strike. Although Lucian doesn't have the hero promition and get free XP's, he can upgrade like a hero when he does get experience and is very good early. If you get lucky and win all of your high odds attacks with him, you can often get him to 20+ experience points, which gives him promotions, makes him stronger, etc.

Best wishes,

Breunor
