Temples of Desert Cultures

This mod aims to give their own temples to the forgotten african kingdoms.

IMPORTANT: Currently only berber factions and arabs has their religion represented, Althought all temples are available to all african and arabs factions to solve the eastern culture conversion rate that they suffer, I have planned to give each group their own set of temples.

Vanilla(EE) and savegame compatible.

Current features:

BERBERS
Many of Berber ancient beliefs were developed locally while some other ones were imported or influenced over time by contact from other African mythology such as the Egyptian religion along with external forces from Phoenician mythology, Judaism, Iberian mythology, and the Hellenistic religion during antiquity.
