I've had it happen more than once. Twice I've had it happen repeatedly in the same game.

The only time I ever had it happen was when it was a pretender with that "phoenix in fire" icon. That says it will return right away if the pretender dies within its own domain.

i was waiting to see if it happened with the C'Tis pretender in the mega game I am running -- what with him slain and the only provinces they had left where two besieged castles.

no dice, I think it just happens under the right circumstances.

He could have the "Elixir of life" with him. A construction level 6 miscellaneous item.

Elixir of life resurrects you DURING the battle. It's kind of like Phoenix Pyre without the fatique.

As for the Call God thing, I definitely have noticed certain times, where it felt like the AI was cheating, because I had to kill his pretender so many times that the "You killed our god!" message was getting really annoying. I distinctly remember one time fighting a Son of Fenrir with 9 earth, only to have him end up with no magic after a while (ramming into my PD), and thought that was rather funny. Other times though, it takes them forever to recall their god, and I have to wonder whether they even know how to... so, no... I don't think they cheat... it's probably just a wierd quirk somewhere.

I was getting rather annoyed with the "You killed our god!" message once--he kept coming back into his capital--which I held. Plenty of PD there, he just kept dying over and over and over.


The one that irks me, though, was the pretender I met in the arena. He couldn't hurt a fly. Blinded and feebleminded.

The AI opponents should NEVER send their pretenders into the death match arena... hopefully one of the future patches fixes this issue.
Prophets should rarely be sent by AI opponents as well because they're very existence on a map helps their dominion.
