A question about Immortality...

[Psitticine]

An immortal does need to be within a friendly dominion to revive. I haven't had a chance to test if the capital has to be in friendly hands, but I think it does. I think you'd have different results if the fortress had actually fallen because the province is really considered under the fortress owner's control in many ways.

When a god is recalled by priests, he'll appear in his home province even if it is under enemy control. This I have seen several times. However, because there's no delay in recalling an immortal, he would just get stuck in a loop if his home province still has a friendly (to him) dominion. He'd keep popping up, getting killed, popping up, getting killed, ad nauseum.

Hopefully, that isn't the case. As I say, I haven't seen it tested yet. (I've run into respawning immortals in their home province, but I conquered their dominion, thus nullifying their immortality, before being able to find out if they'd just keep popping back up like some kind of Ermorian spin on Wack-A-Mole.)
