Gods of The Game
Bast (Bastet)
Historically
A cat-goddess, worshiped in the Delta city of Bubastis.
A protectress 
of
cats and those who cared for cats. As a result, an important deity
in the home (since cats were prized pets) and also important in the
iconography (since the serpents which attack the sun god were usually
represented in papyri as being killed by cats)
She was also worshiped as the consort of Ptah-seker-ausar;
and is joined with Sekhmet and Ra (a very unusual combination of male
and female deities) to form Sekhmet-bast-ra, also worshiped as Ptah-seker-ausar's
spouse, and viewed as a deity of the destructive, purifying power
of the sun.
In The Game
Bast is the Goddess of the Home and touches your citizens'
lives by affecting their health and well-being. If she smiles upon
the city, she will help make sure citizens are well fed and satisfied.
Incur her wrath and she will destroy people's homes or their health.
Building a Temple to Bast brings good fortune to any
city. Bast helps keep citizens happy by making them satisfied with
less. As a result of her benevolence, the rate at which your citizens
consume food and goods is reduced, and the effects of entertainers,
educators, and health providers last longer. Her sister goddesses
also improve life for your citizens:
Altar of Isis, Goddess of Healing
Oracle of Hathor, Goddess of joy, love, and
Festivity.
