Couple this with the +3 experience bonus for the Armidoctor level IV training camp and the +1 experience for Roman infantry and you get 6 chevron starting units! It provides +2 experience bonus, and a 10% morale bonus. The Temple of Mars is used in the capital at maximum level not for its minor order bonus but for unit bonuses.

So a circus is in the capital and level III temples are built in the minor settlements. On the other hand, the gladiator line city centre building gives a much better order bonus at level IV (24 vs 16) and can only be built in the capital. The best temple for order is the Nymph Grove line.

Temple line buildings can be constructed anywhere, but level IV temples can only be built in the capital.

The army and navy recruitment buildings can just as easily be constructed in minor settlements, so use these less valuable slots for such a purpose.

Unlike equipment upgrade buildings, training camps only work in the province in which the army is recruited.

Training camp line buildings can only be built in the capital, making these slots valuable.

There is no income generation, no food generation and all the towns are set at the lowest tier! How does this work? The key is that the tax box is unchecked, not as an emergency measure to relieve public order or a faction-wide critical food deficit, but as a deliberate strategy so that there are now only two resource requirements: elite unit recruitment capacity and public order (to compensate for the public order penalties of all those level IV military buildings despite having no taxation).Īny paltry wealth income of this profile is wasted by the tax exemption and food is set to 1 (0 plus 1 bonus food for being Roman faction) so there is no negative impact on global food surplus from the major food consumption of these buildings.
