Why undead priests can\'t preach?
 

I just recalled my prophet with the Ritual of Rebirth and was surprised with the fact that he can't preach anymore because he is undead now. Tried making undeads prophets and got the same result: they all can reanimate but not preach.
What's the reason for that?

Hard to preach if your jaw keeps falling off.

The most flexible priests are demons (not Yomi Demon Priests, actual demons). They can choose to either preach or reanimate, depending on what you need them to do that month.

That's actually the point. When you revive a fallen priest, he gets something for something: he loses the ability to preach and gets the ability to reanimate.
And when you play Lanka or MA Ermoryou get nothing for something. You just lose the ability to preach...

Lanka and MA Ermor priests (non-undead) get everything for nothing. They all can choose to either preach or reanimate, even a scout if you make him your prophet.

Edit: PS Sorry for slightly hijacking your discussion, I know you want someone to tell you the reason why undead can't preach. I don't know why.

I know.
I said about reviving the fallen prophet who thus loses his ability to preach and gets nothing for that.

I think the answer is "Undead can't preach." perhaps followed by "If you didn't want him to lose his preaching ability, perhaps you should not have allowed it to die." or maybe "He loses his ability to preach, and gets his life back for it." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
EDIT: Also, didn't he get the ability to reanimate dead? Undead priests should be able to do just that.

No, he didn't GET it because he had it before he died))

Re: Why undead priests can\'t preach?
 

Ah, I finally understand! You were Lanka or Ermor, and had a priest who could both reanimate the dead, and preach too.

Then your priest died. You reanimated his hideous rotten corpse, and he could not preach anymore. Of course, he could still reanimate.

Yes, that's true. And it was a bit confusing. Even when you think you know most of the aspects of this game, new mysteries are still discovered. It seems to be endless and I love this game for that)
