Recommended Doctrines to Unlock First

Doctrines	Ritual/Trait	Effect
Afterlife II	Ritual of Resurrection	Perform a Ritual at your temple that allows you to bring a dead Follower back to life.
Work & Worship I/III	Faithful Trait	▲Generate Devotion 15% faster.
	Ritual of Enlightenment	Perform a Ritual at your Temple that will temporarily increase Devotion generation speed at your shrine by 20% for 3 days.
Sustenance I/II	Ritual Fast	Followers will not need to eat for 3 days.
	Grass Eater Trait	▲No negative faith when a follower eats a meal made from grass.

Afterlife II - Ritual of Resurrection

This lets you bring followers back from the dead and is very powerful since they maintain their Loyalty level. This will allow you to unlock traits a lot faster.

Work & Worship I - Faithful Trait

This is a Doctrine you want to get early in the game, if not the first, since it will increase the amount of Devotion you get and allow you to unlock buildings a lot faster in the long run.

Work & Worship III - Ritual of Enlightenment

This is important for the same reason as Faithful Trait. When both are combined, you can unlock a new building very quickly just by waiting even without going on a crusade.

Sustenance I - Ritual Fast

This will stop your followers from becoming Hungry for 3 days. This is important since the Hunger meter depletes a lot faster compared to other needs. This becomes very useful in the late game especially when you go out on long crusades.

Feasting Ritual

Feasting Ritual is another option that is very useful as it takes care of Hunger and increases Faith simultaneously. However if you are going on a long crusade, you'll want a Kitchen so that your followers can cook for themselves while you're gone.

Sustenance II - Grass Eater Trait

Grassy Gruel is a food that only requires 5 grass but comes with negative effects. By unlocking the Grass Eater Trait you can cancel out the negative effects of Grassy gruel and easily keep your followers full in the early stage of the game. This is also useful late game since you basically won't need to worry about getting rare ingredients.
