Prophetizing under siege
 

Has anyone else noticed that while under siege you cannot annoint a prophet who is in the castle being sieged?

This IMHO doe not make much sence. Is it a bug or WAD?

Maybe you cant be declared a prophet unless you have all the people in the province to witness? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I have thought of alot or roleplaying reasons but none hold up.

I thought that maybe you have to make a pligramage to a holy site ( the capital) but of course you cannot annoint even if your under siege in your own capital. so that doe not work. I dont know. It seems like a bug, or rather something that was left out.

It makes perfect sense to me. Imagine your future prophet standing on a podium before a large crowd, or wandering through the streets of a besieged city, promising salvation while rocks are flying down. It is like the saying, "there are no atheists in foxholes."

What BETTER time to anoint a prophet?

My point exactly. To me it seems like a bug.

Re: Prophetizing under siege
 

I agree, should be allowed. Seems like an oversight.

Re: Prophetizing under siege
 

I dunno, seems okay to me. I expect it would pretty tough to communicate with somebody under seige inside a castle.

Although, if you are trapped within your castle how do you let your entire nation(and the world) know who your new prophet is?

You send out a bunch of messengers. Just like you can still send messages when you are under siege. They've got a little white flag taped to their hats and no-one attacks them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
