Who do you usually promote to prophet?

[Joonie73]

I only promote priests to prophet if I am playing Pythium or Marignon (to get level 5 priests--though this may not be necessary for Marignon if you get Carmont the level 5 cardinal later on). Otherwise I always promote melee heroes to prophet & turn them into a super combatant. What about you guys?

[Joonie73]

Oh, by the way, I also promote a priest or magic-user to prophet when I play Arco. Arco doesn't have a melee commander strong enough to worth promoting.

[Truper]

You might want to consider that your prophet suffers badly in enemy dominion, and one of the major attractions of supercombatants is to go out and conquer.

[Gandalf Parker]

I like to promote a fairly rainbow mage. That way I can do priest and magic searchs with one guy (for nations that dont already have this). Also he can build any building I need. I tend to keep him inside the dominion but near the edge so that he and his army can quickly support if needed plus he pushes the dominion that direction to give me a look ahead

[Nagot Gick Fel]

If I have level 4 priests I'll usually promote a scout or assassin. With Marignon, if I have a low dominion I'll promote a high inquisitor to level 5 (for better preaching rather than Smite).

If I have level 3 priests I'll promote one of them to get Fanaticism and Mass Blessing.

With Ulm and Man I'll use a foot commander or Warden.

[Argitoth]

I usually forget to promote a prophet and don't have one till turn 30. I usually like to pump up assassins and make them a prophet.
