Some small questions on Unholiness (Ermor and Ctis DT)

[tinkthank]

Hm I cant seem to figure it out.
You dont bother with normal priests, really? Then who does the preaching?

I take a lot of negative scales with Desert Tomb Ctis and rely on specific magics on my pretender for site searches to uncover sites that enhance my money flow to make up for this.

As a result, I have a lot of points even after the 150 point hit from taking the theme. Ergo, I have such a high dominion that it seems to spread out fairly strongly plus I castle and temple along the way. Unholy preists can build temples and I haven't run into the need to preach up dominion in the games I have run yet. If a need arises I'll just buy a hierodule(level 2 holy priest) for a super cheap price of 40 gold and jump start the dominion till it starts to rise pretty much on its own.

Thanks.
Do you happen to know what the deal is with the Keepers of the Tombs? They are Holy2, but not sacred, or is that borked?

It seems as if the Unholy Versions of Blessing works just like the normal ones; there are no Unholy troops of Ctis, just undead ones. I still have yet to test whether the Unholy blessing also works on normal sacred troops...

Well, that's pretty funny, considering the unit they replace (the Shaman), is Sacred but not a Priest. That's a _very_ easy thing to mod, though. Would you like me to do that for you? Or you can make it your own first modding project.

I don't think it does, but even with my use of Desert Tombs, you don't see a lot of mixing (I don't tend to use the living Sacred troops with DT).

Hm, actually, I suppose I would like to mod that, unless it is explicitly intentional on the side of Illwinter. (I wonder if they will comment on that?) I have to open up some file and find the monster number and add a special command, "is sacred", right?
