Prophets are Blessed, not Sacred. I think Blessed (i.e. Shroud) doesn't halve upkeep.

I'm pretty sure prophets have no upkeep, it's in the manual. It isn't because they are blessed, it is prophet specific

I guess this is a bug. Anybody had this before?

Believe this is a bug accoding to Edi. Had this happen in MP a few weeks ago. I submitted the turn to support. Did not take advantage of it. It even gave me the option for my existing prophet to become a prophet. H4 might have been interesting..

It doesn't seem to be on the Bug short list at the moment. It may have been at one time.
It's definitely been known for awhile.

It isn't actually a bug, moreso a feature of LA R'lyeh. It comes with the insanity.

They do really random things (like calling god when the pretender is perfectly safe and they don't have priest levels, or when they research without RP).

This behavior occurs so often that while it may have been a bug originally - there is no way it isn't known about now. I think this falls into design flavor at this point.

I hope so. I hate it when interesting things get taken out of the game because they are considered bugs.

Hmmm. I was LA Arco. I can post the turn if you are interested.

SSJ - Tolkien is right. I have several SP games where I have more than a dozen prophets running around. And this has been a feature of LA-R.. a looooooooong time.

Since the game was MP I never got the chance to reprophetize my prophet. Would he have gone to H4?
