Please define the gods feeling or status

[watermonster]

I'm really confused on this gods feelings or status with you or your city. The terms definitions mean nothing too ratings. Some of them are similar ,as congenial and sympathetic. I can't tell except for approving and benevolent if the gods need appeasing sooner or later.

If it helps, when a god is unhappy his icon turns red, redder and very red if angry

A dev told me when gods get displeased the clouds get dark as well
So that would also mean that bright skies mean they are happy

That was a problem I had in the original too. Bast is Amiable and Seth is Congenial... which one should I build another temple to?

I think it's easier just to remember these numbers:
For local gods, a shrine covers for 375 population and a temple covers 750 (aka 2 shrines = 1 temple)
For patron gods, build twice as many

So for 3k population, you want 6 temples (to each local god). Or 5 temples and 2 shrines. Or 4 temples and 4 shrines. Or just 12 shrines. And double that amount for your patron god

You don't want them to be "Enraged" nor "Furious" nor "Angry" nor "Resentful" nor "Displeased" nor "Apathetic".

You want them to be "Amiable" or "Congenial" or "Sympathetic" or "Approving" or "Benevolent".

I have to admit, as english is not my motherlanguage, I do have issues to distinguish between the levels.
And as watermonster mentioned I am often unsure what level of worship is better...
I thought "congenial" was the highest level?
Because I had approving, sympathetic and benevolent many times before but hardly the other... I automatically thought congenial is TOP??
Was I actually wrong? o.O

Tbh now I also feel like I need some kind of number/indicator to give me a more accurate info. :/
