The player may pray at the Sanctuary for help and the god might accept the prayer. In the expansion, Hera is able to drive away Zeus.
The exception is Aphrodite, who can bring to heel Ares and Hephaestus (as well as Hermes and Dionysus, because of ranking). If a player has a sanctuary to a higher-ranking god, the god will defeat invading gods of lesser power. Artemis and Ares grant two units of soldiers for the player to use as he sees fit - Amazons and Sparti respectively. If the city is invaded by foreign powers, Athena herself, Poseidon’s Kraken and Hades’s Cerberus will defend the city. The sanctuaries of Zeus and Apollo give the player access to oracular advice. Certain sanctuaries come with additional resources the Forge of Hephaestus harbors bronze deposits, the Arbor of Athena provides a grove of olive trees, the Garden of Demeter includes some arable land for farming, and the Gates of Hades create silver mines. If the Sanctuary is finished and provided with occasional sacrifices, the god can be seen wandering the city occasionally blessing buildings, making them more effective. A sanctuary is built like a monument: an artisan is dispatched from his guild to the construction site, where he waits for marble, wood and statues to be delivered to progress with the construction. The player may build Sanctuaries to certain friendly gods. Each god’s status is set to friendly or hostile for the duration of an adventure.
