I assume this holds for Soul Gates too, but haven't tested it.
In any case, the unholy priests you get this way are pretty weak. It's better to summon Acolytes, Bishops and Archbishops (or whatever the SG equivalents are - Wraith Senator and Wraith Consul?).

Personally, I think Desert Tombs Ctis should be the same, but it isn't - holy units stay holy.

One of the things that makes Desert Tombs (possibly) worth the staggering 200 point cost is that they get both normal and unholy priests. Both have their uses. If DT couldn't get holy priests it would be far weaker.

Ulm doesn't need unholy priests.
Both Ctis and Ermor can summon unholy priests - you need a with death magic, and there are various unholy priests you can summon, of increasing power for increasing gem cost - the most powerful requires death-4 or death-5.
I don't know about Pangea.

Others have reported that CW also summons its unholy priests, and (like Desert Tombs) one of their living mages (in this case Pan Apostate) has all the skills necessary to summon any national unholy priest available to them.

Re: question about unholy priests....
Hmm. Do Onyx Amazons provide unholy priests? ISTR that they provide death mages, but I can't remember whether their priestesses are holy or unholy.

Interesting - they were Holy 3 in Dom I. Is this intended to make it harder for weak priest nations to get a good priest?
