should i build T4 Sun temples after i got my t5 Sun god?

[Welp]

playing on one of the larger maps and i generally build 1 t5 and 3 more t4s but its kinda a hastle so im wondering if its worth it, the money isnt an issue so dont factor that into the decision.

If you're trying to go far, then sure more Temples is a decent thing to do, but make your Paragons first because they need to do damage to get a good degree and the Temples and long-range Paragons starve the later Paragons from finding targets.

I happen to have a pic from a bug report showing a good-enough setup for wave 300 on an easy track. I think it had 7 Temples with the t5 Temple. Most of my Paragons were under the Beast Mastery pop-up

Yeah I always tend to get paragons first anyways cause they don’t get gobbled up so when I upgrade to T4 or T5 I can rely on a paragon for a short time while I rebuild

[Welp]

Secondary question is, is the paragon Flying Fortress worth it? Whenever I upgrade it I don’t see a lot of difference in pop count then I do the T5 version which is already pretty strong

All the paragons are pretty solid, and you tend to get what you pay for. For me the limitation is that there's just not enough pops available to build them strong until about wave 130 (first paragon) and later. Check out the Wki entry for Paragons[bloons.fandom.com], but I think it recommends about 16M damage across all sacrificed towers.

[Welp]

I guess I still have a lot to learn about getting the max strength for sun god and paragons thanks!

I'm certainly no expert in the long game. But I will pipe in that the Plane Paragon is my second favourite only after the boat. It packs a real wallop. Be sure to line up its bomb runs, whereby a map with at least one straight line gives better payoff of course. Imo it's definitely a great paragon.
