Modding reanimating priests

[sube]

How can i mod reanimating priests? The only thing i found out is that a demon with holy powers can reanimate undead. But what about human priests?

[llamabeast]

Like you say, demons (and undead) priests can reanimate. Human priests normally can't - the Ermorian ones must have some special property we can't access. So just copystats an Ermorian theurg, clear the magic and you have what you want I think.

Normally onl undead and demon priests can reanimate undead. There is a currently inaccessible nation property called undeadnation, which allows normal priests to reanimate undead and grants 15 undead leadership per holy level. Lanka and Broken Empire Ermor have this property.

Yep thanks, that confirms what i was suspecting - that reanimating is a property of the nation, not of the individual units (apart from demons and undead units). For instance, if i play as Ashen Empire and recruit a plain indy priest, he can reanimate.

I am not a big fan of #copystats, so i leave it always as last resource. However i may try playing with it and see what ahppens

[llamabeast]

Oh, maybe copystats won't work then if it's a nation property.

It's a very useful thing in general though I reckon.

[Sombre]

Copystats won't work.

How can you not be a fan of it though? There's so much stuff that simply couldn't be done without it.

The situation seems to have gotten a little more interesting in 3.15.

EA Oni demon priests now cannot reanimate.
Demon Kings CAN reanimate - but only up to ghouls.

However, if you make the demon priests undead - they can reanimate again - up to longdead caval....

Weird.

AFAIK, all undead priests reanimate.

Priests who also have the demon tag can do so. Demon Priest is not a demon, as explained in the bug discussion thread.

National undead reanimation is not possible, because we do not have an #undeadnation mod command (though the attribute exists, e.g. Lanka and Broken Empire Ermor have it).
