Who Reanimates?

SilverElf4 · #1 November 7th, 2009, 12:42 AM

Greetings all,

I've had a lot of fun playing MA Ermor, with their priests ability to call up undead troops. I was wondering which other nations (of any age) have this ability? Just from descriptions I think LA C'tis has this as well, but none of the others is forthcoming in their description.

I did a forum search but didn't come up with anything, and I also checked the latest version of the DB, but haven't come up with anything so far.

Any undead or demon priest can reanimate undead, so any nation that has those, such as Lanka, can reanimate. You can also make a demon or undead unit your prophet. there are some summoned units, like mound fiends, that can reanimate. Pangaea Carrion Lords and Ladies can reanimate unique undead. one of the Sauromatian heroes can reanimate undead parthalonians. Probably more I'm overlooking.

In addition - any priest employed by Lanka, even human ones, can animate undead. The same applies to a couple of other nations, but sadly I don't remember which ones. MA Ermor is one, I think.

Carrion reanimation may be specific to the Pangaeas IIRC, in which case a captured Carrion with holy magic will only reanimate normal undead.

LA Ermor also allows all priests to reanimate.

I don't think just any nation can ever reanimate by just obtaining an undead priest. I think only certain nations ever have this ability.

I could be wrong, but I thought I saw a thread a while back about this.

For what I know, only MA/LA Ermor, LA C'tis, Lanka, and LA Argatha can. there may be one or two others, but I don't think everyone can.

Just did a test, prophetized an Unfrozen Lord as EA R'lyeh. He was able to reanimate ghouls, souless, and longdead as expected. Screenies attached.

Any undead priest can reanimate.
Certain nations have special undead they can reanimate.
You may have remembered that Longdead Cavalry can only be reanimated by LA/MA Ermor.

Wow! Thanks all of you for the replies and the investigation!

Good information to know, all of it. I haven't played Lanka at all yet, may have to try them.

What map is that in the last screenie? I haven't played all the maps yet, didn't know if it was a standard one or a custom.

Dawn of Dominions

Yep, it's Dawn of Dominions, along with Cradle probably my favorite map that comes with the game. I edited this one to allow R'lyeh instead of Oceania.
