Possible Bug: LA C'tis Re-animators

[Reverend Zombie]

Before I post this to the bug discussion thread, I wanted to see if anyone knew what sorts of undead each type of LA C'tis national summon was supposed to be able to reanimate. I thought it worked as follows:

Grave Consort: Ghouls or Soulless
Tomb Priest: Ghouls, Soulless, or Longdead
Tomb King: Ghouls, Soulless, Longdead or Tomb Wyrms

I have current game where a non-prophet Grave Consort can summon longdead.

Yes, in moment all undead LA C'tis Priests can reanimate the same things, Ghouls, Soulless and Longdead.

Level 3 get no Tomb Wyrms and Lv 1 Prists can reanimate Longdead.

LA Ermor Lv 1 undead priests are also allowed to cast the longdeads so maybe its wad.

But at least the tomb wyrms for Lv 3 undead priests should be possible in future patches. This bug is in the bug list.

If that is the case, I don't think anyone would ever spend the extra gems to summon the intermediate LA C'tis reanimator. Any difference in leadership ability or other stats doesn't seem worth it.

Well, the intermediate LA ermor priests (Lv2) can reanimate undead horsemen http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

LA ermor can reanimate as following:

Undead Lv1 Priest: Ghouls, Soulless, Longdead warriors
Undead Lv2 Priest: Ghouls, Soulless, Longdead warriors, Longdead Horsemen
Undead Lv3 Priest: Ghouls, Soulless, Longdead warriors, Longdead Horsemen, Lictors

Could be the #undeadnation tag (not moddable, but exists in the game) if LA C'tis has that (and I think it does), it could be playing havoc, especially if the reanimation assignment is also flawed.

Granted. I should have specified C'tis in my post, and I've edited to make that clearer.

Seems bugged, I think horsemen are supposed to require a H3 priest as manual says.

btw reanimate souless....why do they hardly ever have weapons if the province has lots of corpes by pillaging? it does only work for corpes after a battle? i usually only use reanimate long dead and not ghouls and souless if there is no chance to get armed souless.

[Nick_K]

Corpses from pillaging are civilians - just regular farmers and whatnot. They didn't have weapons or armour so the soulless don't either. Same for corpses from disaster events, deadly dominions and so on.
They're can still be nice to bulk out armies seeing as they can be summoned in such large numbers.

[TirAsleen]

yes, i just found out today, and soulless can be summoned in slighter higher numbers with more hp, but they are not good in combat without armor and weapons though. and yes there is a bug after the patch with reanimation and priest levels seems its now +1 for each priest level compared to unpatched dom version.

[calmon]

Well, MA ermor works like the manual says. LA ermor is like described here. I'm not sure this is a bug or not.

[TirAsleen]

hm, devs do not post here much lately to confirm stuff...

There's also a Tomb Chariot unit (U1659), you can see it with a test map. It very much looks like an unused level-5 C'tis reanimated unit.

Is that the base unit for one of their heroes?
