Priests always recruitable with temple?

[HJ]

Originally posted by rabelais:
Hiya, I've noticed in some games there are shadowed out priests in every prov awaiting a temple, and in some there are not... if I build a temple in a prov *without* a priest silhouette(and "temple needed" legend), will I still be able to recruit a minimal (50gold 1 res white robed 2h) sacerdotal grunt there?

If not what are the determinants for where they can be recruited?

Thanks,

To the best of my knowledge, no, you won't be able to recruit a priest there. The type of the province is crucial - hence in barbarian provinces there are no priests, while in those LI-HI mixes there are.
