A nice side effect of having to create a good range of monsters for each
god is that they will be directly usable in the random map generator.

That's right.  However, I don't know if it is possible for one god to
have two ennemies (in the archetypes file), because the "title" field
is currently used for storing a single ennemy.  Well, if the code does
not support a list of ennemies, then it is time to add that feature.

I don't know who this was, but I already have an example of a temple for
Valriel, the replacement for Jehova.  It is not finished and I will
probably make the map smaller (about the same size as the other two
temples), but if you are interested, you can have a look at a screenshot:

I am doing temples for the other gods as well, but of course that should
not prevent other people from creating temples, because we will also
need temples for the other cities and villages.
