Undead/Demon prophets

[vfb]

I think it was K who pointed out that undead Sauromatia priests can reanimate longdead horsemen, and other nations get special souless/longdead.

Who has capital D or 2S income and benefits from making a prophet out of a Black Servant or demon priest? Some nations also need an awake god with death in order to be able to cast Black Servant.

The Prince of Death also gives free longdead, but it looks like they are always unit #194 (unarmored, broad sword).

The list is:

EA
Arco: alchemy, D god, nothing special
Marverni: alchemy, D god, nothing special
Ulm: D god, nothing special
TC: D god, nothing special
Agartha: nothing special
Fomoria: nothing special
Helheim: nothing special
Pan: Needs ND god for Carrion Centaur; gets three manikins instead of one
CTis: lizard longdead with a few extra HP
Kailasa: alchemy, D god, monkey longdead/soulless, great ghouls
Lanka: monkey longdead with more HP
Yomi: turn 2 Oni General prophet
Ermor: nice longdead with tower shields
Nief: gets nice longdead giants
Sauromatia: reanimate longdead horsemen

MA:
Arco: alchemy, D god, nothing special
Ermor: not needed
Pythium: alchemy, D god, nothing special (but undead work well with Hydras)
TC: alchemy, D god, nothing special
Pan: Use Carrion Centaur; gets three manikins instead of one
CTis: lizard longdead with a few extra HP
Bandar: alchemy, D god, monkey longdead/soulless, great ghouls
Ashdod: gets nice longdead Rephaites
Shinuyama: nothing special

LA:
Arco: alchemy, D god, nothing special
Ermor: not needed
Ulm: D god, nothing special
Marignon: alchemy, D god,
TC: nothing special
Agartha: nothing special
Caelum: can make slightly better soulless
CTis: not needed
Pan: not needed
Utgard: nice longdead giants
Gath: alchemy, nothing special
Atlantis: can make cool soulless
Bogarus: alchemy, D god, nothing special

"nothing special" just means the longdead raised by the prophet are regular longdead. They can still be useful if you need to fight a bunch of hydras or an Awe-Fear SC god.


Of the 'nothing specials', here's my list of nations I really won't be doing this with:

Bakemono: Weak priests, and weak starting army. Needs prophet who can preach and help expand. Also it's nice to make Kurofumi your prophet when he shows up, requiring that your current prophet do the honorable thing and jump in front of an elephant. So it's not worth the trouble of making an undead prophet to start.

Fomoria, Helheim: Prophet will be too busy blessing to sit around raising undead.

Pan: Not worth the trouble.
