Anyone seen this before? This is immediatly post-battle. Perhaps it will reconcile and fix itself next turn?

I've seen it before, and the status remains. IIRC, they don't get H3 if you GoR them.

They remain a prophet and keep their H3. I have an example of that in a current game.

Are you sure you didn't Charm it? Charm =/= GoR.

However, they become your prophet, and spread your dominion. I found that out trying to dominion kill someone with a mercenary prophet. It didn't work.

This is not a bug, it's a feature. It was that way already in Dominions 3 and IIRC KO confirmed that it was intentional once when somebody asked about it. That's why it's not in the bug list.

The screenshot shows a unit without equipment slots, so it's definitely an enslavement vs. a charm.

Charmed prophets retain their "prophet" status (including their stat bonuses, as well as their H3 ability.)

I've never successfully enslaved a prophet before, so I don't know what happens if you GoR a prophet unit, or whether they retain prophet bonuses.

There was some question last time this was raised as to whether the "donor" nation (the one whose prophet got charmed/enslaved) could promote another prophet in this case. Don't know if the answer is different whether the prophet is enslaved vs. charmed away.

Deathjester didn't post a screenshot.

He refers to the OP screenshot.

A charmed/enslaved prophet counts as killed for the original owner, so they can later appoint a new one.

If the enslaving player gains a prophet this way, when he does not have one already, does that deny him the ability to appoint a new prophet?
