Ack! Do I need to restart?

Of all the lousy....

Turn 7 I get an earthquake destroying my temple in my home provence.

Not so bad right? Well, I didn't build a priest yet....

Can I recover from this?

I'm playing Vanilla Ulm (again).

Though you'd think a god could build him/herself a temple...

Maybe that's how to tell the winner early in the game - the one real god is the one that *can* build a temple

as shovah says, just emprophetize a commander, and he will then have holy magic and be able to build a temple.

Could be worse - imagine losing your labratory on turn 1 with a no-magic pretender, before recruiting a mage, and having to wait for a mage mercenary or random event giving you one.

This is why I always recruit a priest-type on turn 1 (one with magical abilities preferred to cover all bases).
