Territory[]
Territoy is good to have.
Gaining Territory[]
To gain territory you have to start worshipping in your "city" building or religious site. It usually takes about 2 hours of worshipping before you can see the territory you have gained, in the case of enemy territory conflicting with yours you might not be able to grow your own territory. To take over enemy territory your spirituality needs to be higher then theirs, to do this you can defame (defame stat influences this) the enemy and worship (pray stat influences this) in your own temples, when your temple is being defamed the Pious stat has influence on how much glory you lose.
Worshipping[]
There are 3 different types of worshipping: Slower, Normal, Faster.
| Worship Type | Slower | Normal | Faster |
| Basic Cost | 1000 | 10,000 | 100,000 |
| Basic Spirituality Gain | 125 | 250 | 500 |

Notes
