(2 men on each square instead of one, for example, would make many miracles useless against you).I didn't understand the free temple suggestion, by the way...  You DO start with a free temple and the war god, and since you get faith on the first turn,you can buy a different god as well so you start with two. (My favorite new strategy: Magic god, and get every freaking relic.  Those things are amazing.)</blockquote>
