From my understanding you need 40 holy points worth of priests. If it was late game with a nation that has level 3 priests I could see it happening...

I've had it happen more than once. Twice I've had it happen repeatedly in the same game.

The only time I ever had it happen was when it was a pretender with that "phoenix in fire" icon. That says it will return right away if the pretender dies within its own domain.

i was waiting to see if it happened with the C'Tis pretender in the mega game I am running -- what with him slain and the only provinces they had left where two besieged castles.

no dice, I think it just happens under the right circumstances.

He could have the "Elixir of life" with him. A construction level 6 miscellaneous item.

Elixir of life resurrects you DURING the battle. It's kind of like Phoenix Pyre without the fatique.

As for the Call God thing, I definitely have noticed certain times, where it felt like the AI was cheating, because I had to kill his pretender so many times that the "You killed our god!" message was getting really annoying. I distinctly remember one time fighting a Son of Fenrir with 9 earth, only to have him end up with no magic after a while (ramming into my PD), and thought that was rather funny. Other times though, it takes them forever to recall their god, and I have to wonder whether they even know how to... so, no... I don't think they cheat... it's probably just a wierd quirk somewhere.

I was getting rather annoyed with the "You killed our god!" message once--he kept coming back into his capital--which I held. Plenty of PD there, he just kept dying over and over and over.


The one that irks me, though, was the pretender I met in the arena. He couldn't hurt a fly. Blinded and feebleminded.
