Temple From Atlantis

[joedaman55]

I was playing a game yesterday where I hit Atlantis early in the game. I wanted to hit it because I felt I needed Engineer at that stage of the game for the +1 production and received Ceremonial Burial from Atlantis. When I hit Atlantis under the Ceremonial Burial bonus it built a temple in one of my cities. Ceremonial Burial when teched gives you nothing.

I'm not sure if this has been tested to be consistent or if it eveb has a possible application to help prevent a key flip on a city next to a choke point. In the future I'll probably test out the consistency of this occurence. Has anyone else had this happen or know if it consistently happens?

Havnt see that one but one time I got navigation in a mp game. cant remember what civs we were using but it put a harbor in my capitol! only time it ever happened and have never been able to reproduce it. Guess it was just a glitch or something.

You don't get a free temple, it just tells you where you've got one, and sometimes it's even wrong. Ceremonial burial gives nothing

Thanks for the feedback

It is true that certain techs gives nothing as a bonus for researching it first but there was a time in which I got a free harbor from Navigation and there has been a time (I have a guy that can vouch for me on this) but I research Democracy and it gives me a free pikeman but the Greeks were in the game from the beginning. Thing that was even more crazy was the Greeks were going around with archers, extremely strange.

You needs 15 lower techs to get Engineering from Atlantis (Atlantis gives you 3 lowest techs - not researched yet). Engineering is useless. Irrigation+Construction are the best (+1-pop, and Workshop in production city).

It is possible he's not talking about GOTW you know.

If you had already hit AOC before Atlantis it will tell you that it has built a temple in one of your cities when you research CB. Likewise even if you just hammered a temple it will still tell you when you get CB. You probably won't have noticed this because CB is usally never teched or backfilled or that you will very very rarely build a temple before getting CB.

Got Atlantis and Cermonial Burial from it yesterday, no temple. I might have been mistaken that time, I was being rushed each turn in a heated H2H game so I'm guessing in the rush I misread what happened.

Why would it matter if you get a free temple, you would be better off teching Ceremonial Burial first, along with other low beaker techs, and use Atlantis to get higher techs.

How could you get Navigation from Atlantis. You need a Galleon to reach Atlantis.

The Free workshop really isn't any good unless you have a two hill town. The downside is that the Hills give your enemies a good place to attack from. I would much rather have a free Great Builder than a workshop. Irrigation is only good if you get it first, otherwise it's basically useless.

You cannot build a temple before CB. AoC will give you them but YOU cannot before teching cb.

And getting CB from atlantis did not build you a temple. You got the AoC before you got atlantis.

If you get AoC before you tech CB it will name one of your cities will a temple and say one is there. It never builds a temple for you.

not so much an idiot - you could easily have Gs'd invention got a GS then GS'd steam power. Then got atlantis with the cruiser. and um.. maybe you teched the low techs in order to get engineering from Atlantis (to take out a GW fast for a surprise attack) and got Nav as a extra, together with er.. one of the other decent techs.

Ok not likely.. but could be a good play. Of course that wasnt what you were saying
