Two Newbie Questions: (Priest level & Assassins)
 

Two questions:
1. Aside from creating a prophet unit, how do you raise the priest level of a unit? I saw a chart somewhere in the manual (which I can't find again for the life of me) that showed priest levels up to 5, but I've never seen anything above a 3 in the game, and that was for a prophet unit.

2. I've had several assassination attempts made on my commanders and each time my commander disappears from the map, even when I won the battle. Is this supposed to happen or is it some sort of bug?

Thanks!

The artifact swords of justice and injustice raise priest power by one. That along with the crystal shield and communion are the only way to raise priest power.

It's not supposed to happen. Check to see if your commander is retreating.

Re: Two Newbie Questions: (Priest level & Assassin
 

Another way to raise priest power is the Astral spell Power of the Spheres, and the non-artifact banner of the northern light I think has the same effect.

If the assassin has a weapon effect that kills only after some time, such as poison or decay, then it can cause them to die after they win a fight.

PvK

Northern Light?
 

The banner should only be causing global +1S to all astral mages (friendly and enemy) -- no impact on holy.

Poison, yes... poisoned daggers being common.

There are, incidentally, a few national heroes who start at Holy 4, and certain nations can summon commanders with H4.

Thanks for the help. I can see this is going to take some time to come to grips with all of the variables. Something to look forward to, I suppose http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I think marignon gets a h4(old) hero. With him as your prophet wielding the sword of justice afaik you should have a H6 priest

Re: Northern Light?
 

you can have H7 :
C'tis have an H5 heros + prophet + sword of (in)justice.

In Dom2 you can raise holy ton infinite, if you revive a dead prophet in the all of fame, an reprophetise him.

Re: Northern Light?
 

The Crystal Shield also increases Holy.

Re: Northern Light?
 

If it (still) does, it's in combat only

Re: Northern Light?
 

FYI, you can have a devata prophet with crystal shield, sword of justice, sword of injustice. Hell power and power Of the Spheres both work in combat I think.
