History

“	The temple was a religious center. It was often the earthly home or point of communication with a particular god or goddess. Priests or priestesses in the temple acted as the servants of the resident god or goddess and managed contact to and from the people, plus instruction, rituals, petitions, and answers to questions. The most common form of petition was the prayer. Another was the provision of gifts that supported the temple and its servants. A less common petition was the sacrifice of animals or even humans. The general belief of the time was that the more elaborate a temple, the taller it was, and the more grand, the more disposed the god or goddess would be to provide good weather, rainfall, and crop yields, while keeping away pests, disease, and human invaders.	”

-In the original Age of Empires and its expansion pack [[Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome]], the Temple is a civilian building first available for construction on the [[Bronze Age]]. The main purpose of Temples in Age of Empires is to train [[Priest]]s, who can heal allied units and convert enemy ones. Additional technologies such as [[Polytheism]], [[Fanaticism]], [[Jihad]] and [[Monotheism]] can be researched from the Temple. They mostly improve the Priest's abilities, or improve civilian units such as [[Villager]]s. Some technologies researched from the Temple are required to upgrade to elite units, for example "[[Fanaticism]]" is needed to upgrade [[Long Swordsman (Age of Empires)|Long Swordsman]] to [[Legion]]s.
