Strategy
The effects of this temple depend on your government and what faction built it. If you have direct rule or homeland here your own people's pantheon is honoured and you gain culture conversion to your culture. If the temple was built by another faction it spreads their culture, upgrade it or destroy it and rebuild to ensure it doesn't spread another culture anymore. The happiness bonus is increased as well if the majority culture in the region matches your own.

The effects of this temple depend on your government and what faction built it. If you have direct rule or homeland here your own people's pantheon is honoured and you gain culture conversion to your culture. If the temple was built by another faction it spreads their culture, upgrade it or destroy it and rebuild to ensure it doesn't spread another culture anymore. The happiness bonus is increased as well if the majority culture in the region matches your own.
