The only non- pretender god unit case I can think of in Dom3 was a demilich dying when fighting independents and it returned to the capital fair and square, and I hadn't summoned him there originally. I've never encountered the sort of behavior you describe.
While "Google it" is the appropriate response to any question, I think that considering Ming is a newb, answering "go to www.rarlab.com and download a free version of Winrar" would probably be better.
Anyway, this is really wierd and I'd appreciate some developer attention

It seems a mod needs to be installed before the files can be read by Dom 3. Where can the mod be downloaded and can it be uninstalled afterwards? Also, has anyone checked the mod to see if it is the cause?
Hmmm, yeah, I have the new Freak Lord and Prince of Death graphics mods turned on.
Either way the mod isn't the problem since the same thing happened to me without mods (but I forgot to make a save back then, so I'm giving this one)
I'll attach them here in case someone doesn't have them.
