Heretical Prophets?

[OMAC]

I was just wondering- what happens when you make a heretic a Prophet? Because although the mental imagery of a Sceptic being made The Voice of God is soddin' hilarious, I don't think I'd find it as funny if my prophet caused his God to wink out of existence.

So how does it work? Are there 'levels' in Prophethood? How powerful is Prophethood compared to Heresy?

I think it's the other way around. The prophet's dominion spread is fixed, but heretics have a number in parentheses when you click on them. Most are Heretic (1) or (2), but Belphegor has Heretic (5) which I think is 5 checks per turn. Someone will surely correct me if I'm wrong.

[Micah]

I believe this is how it works:

Prophet spread = 1 temple check per turn

Heretic = Priest of x level preaching in the province against dominion. Which is (30% * priest level - 5%) per candle chance of knocking the dominion down. According to the rulebook, which is often wrong. So a minor heretic prophet should still spread a bit of dominion on average, depending on domstr.

[Endoperez]

Heretic propher on enemy dominion would lower *his* dominion and spread *yours*, of course, which is kind of a nice effect.

[elbnar]

Give your stealthy prophet a stone idol and send him into enemy territory. Fun, fun.

Try fighting against LA Ryleh where his dominion or spells cause commanders to go insane. I have had my own insane priests preaching against my dominion. Worst part is that I cannot order them away, or disband or kill them.
