Temple of Artemis : too strong ?

[Gunter]

I have read in the recent past in this forum about that,and now that his screenshot has come I was wondering if it is too powerful.

A temple in every city ? It seems to me too much,at least on 50% of your cities should be better ?

No ?

Every city on the same continent

I've heard too that the cities dissapear when the wonder goes obsolete

[Wittlich]

I don't think that the wonder will be too powerful - given that it's limited to the same continent and that it eventually turns obsolete.

EDIT: Just noticed I restated what Status already stated.

Dought the cities itself will disappear, but certiately cities whose only temple is the Temple of Artemis will sudenly have one more unhappy citizen when it expires.

I'm also not sure if this wonder is in the epic game; might just be in the wonder race conquest.

It's in the epic game where it goes obsolete and does so relatively quickly.

The temple would disappear. Also, unless they've changed things, you won't be able to build cathedrals in cities without temples built in them beforehand.

So it would give you an early lead in culture and help reduce unhappiness but it would hurt these slightly in the long run.

It's going to be very powerful for non-religious civs.

In the conquest, it might come near the end. We don't know.

Nor me has it correct. In the early middle ages you have a serious problem as nearly all your cities lose their temples just when you want them.

I LOVE it! More social turmoil and unpredictability!
Almost simulates my mod that enables the disappearance of luxury resources.

No, it doesn't work that way anymore. That was fixed awhile ago. Anyway, the chances are that the Temple of Artemis will be obsolete before Cathedrals can be built.

Don't you need Monotheism to get Education?

Dou you get cultural points in every city? As with the science labs wonder (the internet?).

I believe so.

[joncnunn]

Hopefully, you can still build a real temple with possesion of this Temple of Artemis, so that some cities still has a temple when the Temple of Artemis expires.

[WarpStorm]

joncnunn, I don't think you can do this with the Internet or with Sun Tzu's, so I don't think you can do it with the TOA.

[Jaybe]

You would probably just have had to build the temple BEFORE you get TOA (and then not sell it for the maintenance savings).

Drawback to temple loss

It's not the happiness that would be the drawback to the ToA's obsolescense, it is the fact that all of those unbuilt temples won't be getting their 'doubling every thousand year' culture bonuses.

I don't think it's too strong at all. I doubt that I'll ever build it, for the above reason.
